Aging CEU Courses

This presentation uses the Integrated Behavioral Model used in public health interventions to identify the barriers preventing the implementation of a cognitive decline screening program in an audiology practice. This course will discuss the barriers involved with implementing a screening program and provide concrete guidance on practical steps an audiologist can take to begin a screening program in their practice.

This presentation will describe the complex relationship between behavioral health, emotional health, and hearing loss in older adults. In particular, the relationship between social isolation, loneliness, and hearing loss will be discussed.

Multidisciplinary assessment of individuals at risk of falls is crucial in identifying functional and diagnostic factors. This course identifies areas of collaboration and supportive information-sharing strategies between professions who commonly see individuals who fall and are likely to be injured due to a fall.

Multidisciplinary intervention of individuals at risk of falls and post-fall is crucial to effective rehabilitation and prevention of future falls. This course identifies areas of collaboration and supportive information-sharing strategies between professions who commonly see individuals who fall and are likely to be injured due to a fall.

Healthcare professionals serve an important role for older adults amidst COVID-19 as we address activities of daily living (ADL), safety, quality of life, mental health, and other areas directly impacted by this virus. This text course will discuss the COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on how healthcare providers approach treatment with older adults.

Collaborating closely with primary care physicians, audiologists can mitigate the development of hearing loss over a person's lifetime by looking at lifestyle factors such as diet and exercise, as well as associated co-morbidities.

Audiologists have an opportunity to prevent or mitigate hearing loss in children and adults. This webinar (Part 2) focuses on the importance of including information about comorbid conditions in the audiologic assessment and management.

The level of evidence connecting brain health and hearing health continues to expand, as does the use of hearing intervention as a mitigation strategy for cognitive decline. The need and demand for an appropriate, modern cognitive testing method for use in audiology practice is clear. This program will present Cognivue Thrive, a new cognitive screening tool that overcomes the common barriers that have limited the practical implementation of cognitive screening in audiology, and provide practical information on how to implement cognitive screening as part of expanded evaluation and outcome measures.

In this two-part series, attendees will be introduced to the concept of health economics, and its importance in determining how to improve health outcomes and lifestyle patterns through interactions among individuals, providers, and clinical settings.

In the second part of this two-part series, attendees will be introduced to the concept of health economics, and its importance in determining how to improve health outcomes and lifestyle patterns through interactions among individuals, providers, and clinical settings.
