Students enrolled in the MSc in Audiology (with Thesis) Programme have access to the state-of-the-art laboratories of the Audiology Department within the Faculty of Health Sciences. Graduate students can access these facilities outside class hours by appointment.
Audiometry and Clinical Audiology Laboratory (~50 m²)
This foundational laboratory provides students with the opportunity to practise pure-tone and speech audiometry, masking techniques, immittance assessment, and otoacoustic emission testing under standard clinical conditions.
- 2 sound-insulated test booths
- 2 clinical audiometers (air and bone conduction, speech audiometry, sound-field output)
- Calibrated sound-field loudspeaker array
Electrophysiology Laboratory I (~20 m²)
This laboratory offers comprehensive recording and analysis capabilities spanning auditory brainstem responses to cortical potentials.
- 2 ABR/eABR systems
- 1 ASSR module
- 2 cortical auditory evoked potential recording systems
- Electrically shielded recording room
Electrophysiology Laboratory II (~15 m²)
- 2 otoacoustic emission (TEOAE/DPOAE) devices
- 3 immittance meters / wideband tympanometers
- 1 portable screening audiometer
Vestibular Assessment and Balance Laboratory (~30 m²)
This laboratory provides advanced tools for vestibular assessment, allowing students to experience the full diagnostic pathway for dizziness and balance disorders.
- Videonystagmography (VNG) system
- Caloric stimulation unit (air/water)
- 2 cervical and ocular VEMP modules
- Examination table for BPPV repositioning manoeuvres
Hearing Aid Fitting, Verification, and Cochlear Implant Programming Laboratory (~25 m²)
Students work with manufacturer-independent tools and standardised protocols to gain competency across the full hearing aid fitting and cochlear implant programming workflow.
- 1 probe-microphone real-ear measurement (REM) system
- Hearing aid test box
- Manufacturer-independent programming interface and fitting software
- Ear impression unit
- Cochlear implant external and internal unit demonstration sets from multiple manufacturers
- Speech perception test materials
Auditory Rehabilitation and Sound-Field Room (~22 m²)
- Verbal rehabilitation training materials
- Visual reinforcement audiometry (VRA) apparatus and play audiometry materials (paediatric assessment)
Vestibular Rehabilitation Laboratory (~15 m²)
- Exercise area equipped for balance exercises and rehabilitation protocols
Basic Sciences and Anatomy Laboratory (~34 m²)
- Temporal bone and auditory system anatomical models
- Vestibular system reflex-arc teaching models
- Otoscopes, tuning forks, and diagnostic assessment tools
Clinical Training Site
Clinical practice sessions are conducted at the Audiology laboratories of the Faculty of Health Sciences and at NPİSTANBUL Brain Hospital. The hospital setting provides students with opportunities for clinical observation, advanced diagnostic practice, and thesis data collection.
