Introduction to Cortical Auditory Evoked Potentials in Adults: Estimating Hearing Sensitivity & the Effects of Aiding, presented in partnership with Seminars in Hearing
Course: #28745Level: Intermediate 1 Hour 72 Reviews
This webinar will introduce the cortical auditory evoked potential (CAEP) and describe the use of the N1-P2 response complex as an objective predictor of hearing threshold in adults and older children. In addition, the difference between CAEPs from normal-hearing and hearing-impaired adults, and the effects of stimulus signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and audibility on the CAEP amplitude in a population with hearing loss will be discussed. This webinar is presented in partnership with Seminars in Hearing.
Please note: You may earn ABA Tier 1 credits for this course if you complete it as part of the course 29288, "Current topics in CAEPs." Course 29288 contains recordings of all three events from our series on Cortical Auditory Evoked Potentials (CAEPs). ABA Tier 1 CEUs can be earned only when all modules are completed as part of course 29288.
Learning Outcomes
- As a result of this course, participants will be able to describe the clinical uses and limitations of the N1-P2 cortical auditory evoked potential.
- As a result of this course, participants will be able to list the main stimulus and recording parameters for the adult N1-P2 cortical auditory evoked potential when used in the clinic to estimate the hearing threshold.
- As a result of this course, participants will be able to identify the effects of hearing aid gain on the amplitude of cortical auditory evoked potentials in normal-hearing and hearing-impaired participants.
