Dear Students, The science of hearing, which is rapidly advancing with technological innovations in the health sector; is the study of hearing and balance functions, the detection of hearing and balance disorders in individuals, the treatment of these disorders with cochlear implants, hearing aids and other assistive devices, and the planning of rehabilitation. The objective of our school is to train specialized audiologists with well-equipped national and international training in the field of audiology. The curriculum, which is fully interwoven with professional activity from the first year, not only includes clinical and audiological training, which provides theoretical knowledge but also significantly supports the development of our students. The internship programs are conducted in the hearing industry, hearing aid sales centers, and public and private hospitals in order for our students to participate in interactive training in related fields. Our students who will receive the title “Audiologist” upon graduation will have numerous career opportunities in different fields of the both public and private sectors. Audiologists do not only have the option to pursue clinical study but also an academic career in the related field. It is our greatest goal to produce audiologists who respect human health and further advance clinical studies. Having these hopeful feelings and wishful thoughts, I would like to express my kindest regards to KTO Karatay University Department of Audiology students. Prof. Dr. Füsun SUNAR Head of Audiology Department
