Anatomy Video Curriculum
Running approximately 35 minutes in length, this program features high quality graphic depictions to help explain functions and interactions between parts of the inner and outer ear. The video is an ideal training with a variety of applications and has been designed by CAOHC as an educational venue to demonstrate basic ear anatomy, how the ear works and various types and causes of hearing loss.
Certified Course Directors (CDs) may utilize this video as a portion of a 20-hour course leading to the certification of technicians for audiometric testing in industry. CDs using this curriculum to meet CAOHC requirements must augment this 35 minute video curriculum to achieve 60 minutes of instuction. The enclosed auxiliary materials are designed to serve that purpose. CDs may use any or all of the materials included as long as the presentation time meets the 60 minute requirement when using this curriculum as substitution for an otolaryngologist.
