CEU Courses

Starkey is excited to bring you a three-part series on the Inspire fitting software for an in-depth look at the professionally driven and patient-focused tools that make fitting Starkey hearing aids effortless. This course, the second of three in this series, will focus on the Inspire features that provide effortless hearing for patients. We’ll discuss the implementation of Starkey Sound for optimizing speech and music signals and for effectively managing background noise, and we’ll also review Multiflex Tinnitus Technology and Frequency Lowering. You’ll learn how to provide patients with the sound quality and performance they want with the fitting flexibility you need. The final future course in this series will explore effortless fine tuning and follow up tools to further customize patient fittings.

Dr. Dave Fabry talks to Starkey's Chief Health Officer, Archelle Georgiou, MD, about the importance of early identification of hearing loss, degrees of hearing loss and implications, why hearing professionals are vital to the healthcare ecosystem, and hearing loss during the holidays.

This course will detail the Bluetooth connectivity options available in the Ponto 5 Mini bone anchored hearing device. Clinicians will develop their ability to troubleshoot connectivity issues that may arise in the clinic with their Ponto 5 Mini patients, saving them time, developing confidence, and improving patient care.

For decades hearing aid professionals have differentiated their hearing devices options using technology tiers. This podcast will review performance and preference differences between premium and entry-level hearing aid technology found in peer-reviewed studies, highlighting a Western University 2021 wearer preference report, and its implications for clinical practice.

The participant in this course will understand the extended candidacy criteria with cochlear implantation and expectations. The course will cover implanting under age one, hybrid hearing with cochlear implantation, CI under local anesthesia, single-sided deafness, cochlear implantation, and auditory brainstem implantation.

The AMTAS Flex is a portable automated audiometer that uses calibrated headphones and a tablet to obtain basic audiometric thresholds in a variety of locations. The most recent update of AMTAS includes a hardware update: a room noise monitor. This presentation will discuss how the addition of the room noise monitor adds an objective level of accuracy when audiometry is performed outside a booth.

In this webinar, Dr. Robert Traynor will discuss the importance of maximizing patient engagement to support a personal customer experience.

This 4-part webinar series is focused on wireless connectivity between the listener and the talker designed to improve communication. Guest editor, Dr. Linda Thibodeau along with a team of leading experts will present on select articles from a recent issue of the journal Seminars in Hearing (Issue 04 · Volume 41 · November 2020).

People with hearing loss are at a distinct disadvantage compared to people with normal hearing when communicating on the telephone. This course gives an informative view of the FCC-regulated Internet Protocol Captioning Telephone Service, eligibility requirements and the difference clear communication makes on an individual’s well-being.

Chronic Otitis Media (COM) may contribute more than half of the global burden of hearing loss but there is no global consensus on diagnostic and treatment guidelines for hearing loss due to the disease. Research suggests that bone conduction may be an effective and patient-preferred alternative to treating COM-related hearing loss versus hearing aids for many patients, providing consistent and reliable access to sound regardless of the disease cycle. This course will focus on case studies presented by audiologists actively fitting bone conduction solutions.
