Electrophysiology CEU Courses

This 3-part course series covers introductory, intermediate and advanced topics in intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring for audiologists, from an overview of operating room considerations, to cranial nerve monitoring, to multi-modality monitoring for complex cases. It is designed for audiologists who are currently providing intraoperative monitoring services, as well as for audiologists and students who wish to learn more about this exciting area of practice.

This course provides an overview of the most common cranial nerve monitoring applications in the operating room. Techniques for recording, interpreting, and optimizing cranial nerve activity and function in the operating room will be addressed. This is the second webinar in a 3-part series on Intraoperative Neurophysiologic Monitoring, that will be taking place on AudiologyOnline in June 2017.

This 3 hour webinar reviews the cortical auditory evoked potential (CAEP) in adults, children and infants. It describes the use of the N1-P2 response complex as an objective predictor of hearing threshold in adults and older children. It discusses the relationship between audibility of speech sounds and the presence of CAEPs in infants and children with hearing loss using amplification. Additionally, it describes how CAEPs are being used in clinical practice to assist with fitting of hearing aids in young infants. Clinical case studies and examples are provided. This webinar is presented in partnership with Seminars in Hearing.

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.

NOTE: This course is open captioned. Turn on the captions on by clicking the horizontal bars on the playback bar and selecting "English". This course describes the relationship between audibility of speech sounds and presence of cortical auditory evoked potentials (CAEPs) in infants and children with hearing loss using conventional amplification or nonlinear frequency compression. Translation of the evidence to clinical applications will be discussed together with case studies. This course 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.
