Audiology

Hello, I'm Yavuz Özen. I am a 3rd year student at the Department of Audiology at the University of Health Sciences. Audiology is a 4-year undergraduate major. It is based on hearing and balance. Our aim here is to train audiologists who will further improve the hearing health in Turkey. Our department is located in two campuses, Gulhane in Ankara and Hamidiye in Istanbul. In our department, courses such as hearing aids, implants, and vestibular courses are given in general. For our department, we have a clinic located in Ümraniye Training and Research Hospital, independent of the hospital, equipped with high-tech audiological and vestibular equipment that can be used by audiology students. In our department, we have summer internship training at the end of the 2nd year and the 3rd year, and 3 days a week under the name of a clinical course in the 2nd and 4th grades, during the whole year. After graduating from our department, you can work as a clinician in hearing aid and implant companies in public or private hospitals. In addition, you can perform noise measurement and calibration in factories in the field of industrial audiology, as well as in rehabilitation centers where you can treat hearing-impaired children. I chose the Audiology Department because I think it is very new in Turkey and has an open future. I chose the University of Health Sciences because it is a university in Istanbul that only offers courses in the field of health. I want to open my own hearing aid company after graduation. I would recommend students who will prefer our university and department to take full advantage of the facilities on campus and in our clinic. I wish good luck to all students who will take the exam.
