[聽力實習] First AR lecture

Here's how the aural rehab session went:First session of aural rehab course--hearing loss.
-Self-intro and case history/interview.
-Brief intro to anatomy and physiology of the ear.
-Problems, causes and treatments.(So far so good...I love to chat with old ladies about ear structure and other things)
-Full hearing evaluation battery (things started to get fuzzy)
-Licensure: Honestly, if I were hard of hearing and needed to see an audiologist, that license would mean everything.
Actually, any other profession as well, show me the license and I'll eat it. I'd believe you went through all the torture necessary to get that piece of paper and paid big bucks annualy to keep it in your hands, but I'm just not interested in knowing what that torture was, and was thus considerately reluctant to bombard my audience (and myself) with licensure process, but oops, that made my supervisor jump in and expand the talk....eyh...
-Ototoxic medications: drugs that might damage your hearingIt was overall productive. The energetic old lady had great stories about how to raise 4 boys 1 girl and keep a husband without going crazy.
