I have also learned about various special tests, such as tinnitus masking and matching, as well as tinnitus retraining therapy. The speech department taught me about the diagnostic aspects of voice, dysphagia, child and adult language disorders, and speech sound disorder. I had three different experiences here because three different departments I was posted here, Audiology diagnostic and CI department and speech language pathology department. In the audiology and CI department among faculties Mr. Pachaiappan, Ms. Ramya, Mr. Mathew, Mr Siva Sankar, Ms Asvitha, Ms. Aishwrya they helped me a lot to cope up with the new environment and taught us more practical aspects of Audiology. Special thanks to Ms. Deepika, Mr. Pacchiappan, Ms Ramyasri and Mr. Siva Sankar, and Ms Aishwrya and Mr. Mathew for their teaching on OAE, ABR, LLR, VEMP, CI, and Others Audiological tests and theories, it was more practical based and informative.

It is important to keep track of clinical hours and records, In MERF-ISH they are very strict about this which is a good side. I had the opportunity to attend expert classes and learn about a variety of unusual cases. I learned more clinical aspects from them and gained the most clinical experience in the departments of speech and audiology
