Study of the acoustic properties of sounds, speech, and the dynamics of speech sound production. The basic principles of acoustics related to speech and hearing including: sound generation, transmission, and measurement; frequency, intensity and duration, and waveform composition. The course includes understanding of the principles of acoustics. It includes the understanding of the different physical aspects which are involved in audiology. Sound and its propagation, frequency and intensity will be discussed. Moreover, physical aspects affecting sound propagation such as resonance, reflection, diffraction, reverberation and interference and their effects will be discussed. Furthermore, special attention will be paid to waveforms, their spectrum and analysis. Sound and threshold measurements as well as sound transmission will be discussed.
