Training in cochlear micromechanics is essential for audiology professionals, as it provides advanced knowledge about the functioning of the cochlea and the mechanisms that determine auditory perception. A detailed understanding of traveling wave propagation, the amplifying role of outer hair cells, and mechanosensory transduction allows for better interpretation of audiological tests and greater accuracy in diagnosing auditory disorders.
Moreover, knowledge of theoretical and computational models facilitates the integration of new technologies into audiological practice, contributing to the development and optimization of hearing prostheses, such as hearing aids and cochlear implants. In a constantly evolving field, continuous training ensures that professionals stay up to date with scientific and technological advances, thereby improving their ability to offer personalized and effective treatment to patients with hearing impairments.
We present this training program in response to a growing need for specialized education in the field of audiology. This demand has been expressed by various involved institutions, including healthcare centers, educational entities, and research organizations (ANA, National Association of Hearing Aid Specialists; CREDA, Resource Center for Students with Hearing Disabilities; ENT Department of the Germans Trias i Pujol Hospital; ENT and Head and Neck Surgery Department of the Hospital de Sant Pau), which have identified the need to update and expand knowledge in technologies applied to hearing health. This program is designed to provide comprehensive and advanced training that addresses current challenges in the sector and contributes to improving audiological care.
-Synchronous classes in the afternoon, in-person labs on Friday afternoons and Saturdays.-
- Mechanical properties of the basilar membrane and cochlear amplification
- Mechanosensory transduction and biomechanical interactions
- Theoretical models of cochlear micromechanics
Additionally, this training program offers an entry point into the field of audiology for individuals interested in hearing technologies who wish to continue their education in this discipline.
