CEU Courses

This course examines the impact of hearing treatment in adults on aspects of overall health and well-being, with a particular focus on adults with hearing loss who are at risk for mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Through this course, we will illuminate the role of cognitive screening in audiology clinical practice and the ways in which cognitive screening can aid in clinical decision making and the treatment and rehabilitation process.

This course will introduce the new ReSound Smart Fit 1.18 fitting software. New features and advanced fitting features will be described and First Fit navigation steps will be reviewed.

This two-part online series will emphasize the key role of parents in fostering language in children who are deaf and hearing. With the implementation of newborn hearing screening and accepted practice that state early intervention agencies complete diagnosis and initiate services (including fitting amplification) for children with congenital hearing loss by six months of age, we now recognize the “power of parents.” The role of professionals has shifted from professionals working with the child to supporting the entire family unit in utilizing the language of the home and heart—whether that language is English, Spanish, ASL or another. These two sessions will explore how to fully support parents in language learning for their children with hearing loss.

The session highlights the significance of influencing factors like gaze testing and visual fixation, which are pivotal in assessing the functional integrity of the vestibular system. Furthermore, it introduces provocative testing techniques, including the head-shaking test and hyperventilation testing, to provoke vestibular responses that might not be evident under normal conditions. Lastly, the webinar provides a comprehensive overview of vestibular nystagmus, detailing its characteristics and the diagnostic value it holds in distinguishing between various vestibular pathologies.

In order to serve our patients properly we must have a solid understanding of how to fit our products to the highest level. This course will focus on some of the most common fitting challenges and how to diagnose and fix them. Occlusion, dome-vent selection, and elements of split-band directionality and mixing points are discussed.

Starkey has completely reimagined the modern hearing aid with Genesis AI, our latest innovation in hearing technology. This course will provide an overview of both the new and improved sound quality features within Genesis AI.

This course includes short summaries of recent journal articles that have direct clinical applications. Key teaching points are explained. The summaries are from articles spanning five different areas: pre-fitting considerations, pre-fitting testing, features and signal processing, selection and fitting, and verification.
