Providing cost-effective aural rehabilitation services for adults who use hearing aids and/or cochlear implants intended to improve listening and increase communication effectiveness can be challenging. As a result, and despite demand or desire to provide, these services are often far and few between. This webinar will discuss a holistic approach to aural rehabilitation intended for audiologists and speech-language pathologists interested in improving or expanding their services to meet the post sensory management needs of the adult population.

This course discusses Interventional Audiology, which is a term that describes bringing hearing care services directly to the field to address challenges associated with hearing loss in situations where communication is critical.
Empathy is the fundamental building block of patient trust. Audiologists, absent of hearing loss themselves, struggle to fully experience the emotional and psychological impact of living with hearing loss. Engagement, defined as a concept that combines a patient's knowledge, skills, ability, and willingness to manage their own heath, is known to increase adherence to positive patient behavior. This session will explore novel contemporary opportunities to move beyond empathy and acquire a more engaged connection with the patient experiencing hearing loss.

Considering the needs of our patients with hearing loss and the constraints on our time as audiologists, assessing their spatial hearing abilities is often overlooked. However, localization pays an important role in speech communication, and new questionnaires such as the Spatial Hearing Questionnaire are now available and will be discussed. This course is presented in partnership with the Academy of Rehabilitative Audiology.
Hearing aids can help improve hearing and the quality of life of people with hearing loss. However, many individuals who could benefit from using hearing aids do not actually use them. Those who do use hearing aids are often left dissatisfied with them.Research has shown that Group AR programs can be an effective way of increasing both hearing aid usage and overall satisfaction. By attending group sessions, people with hearing loss and their communication partners can meet individuals who have experienced many of the same challenges and issues regarding living with hearing loss. Group AR can serve as a powerful support mechanism for people with hearing loss.This webinar will assist hearing care professionals in establishing Group AR sessions and walk them through the process of conducting a session.
