This 3-part course will examine ethics in various contexts for audiologists, from development of protocols, to discussions of typical real-world scenarios that face professionals in patient care and practice management.
In order for children to listen, develop speech and language, and learn effectively, they require access to all sounds, the best signal-to-noise ratio possible, and devices that are easy to use and are safe for little ears. The latest pediatric portfolio from Phonak, built on the signature Venture chip, features a variety of new features including AutoSense Sky OS, Roger Ready, Roger and Directional, and SoundRecover 2 to meet those needs.
This course will discuss evidence to improve functional outcomes for children with hearing loss. This will include a review of automatic programs and directional microphones in hearing aids when used for pediatrics as well as improving listening ability in noisy school environments.
This session will discuss four studies investigating the use of automatic classifiers with children. Clinicians will leave with a robust understanding of the benefits and limitations of automatic technology for this population.

Patients with SSD (Single Sided Deafness) can be rehabilitated with conventional CROS or Bi-CROS systems (contralateral routing of signal), bone anchored hearing systems or with a cochlear implant (CI). The indications and results of the different treatments are presented. While the decision for CI surgery in children with acquired SSD is relatively easy due to the good results in adults, CI in children with congenital SSD has been discussed controversially. This course is presented in partnership with American Auditory Society. Note: This course has subtitles (captions).
