Externs train at four Detroit-area medical centers and/or hospitals for a full calendar year, starting July 2024. The experience includes the provision of a full range of audiologic services to patients of all ages. Diagnostic services include behavioral and electrophysiological assessment of hearing and balance function; treatment services include the selection, fitting, and verification of hearing aid amplification and other assistive and implantable devices.
