What does it mean to adopt a holistic approach to hearing care? And how do we communicate with our patients in a person-centered manner? In this course, we will introduce the Four Habits model and describe the key communication tasks in applying person-centered care in hearing care appointments.

This edition of the Vanderbilt Audiology Journal Club will cover recent articles and publications on vestibular topics presented by Gary Jacobson PhD, Richard A Roberts PhD and Kelsey Hatton AuD.

Due to the recent increased focus on providing patient-centered healthcare, use of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) have become an essential component of assessing whether the services provided improved patients’ health and sense of well-being. This course will discuss the role of PROMs in healthcare and how using these measures in clinical practice can enhance treatment efficacy, improve patient-clinician communication, and assist clinicians in providing better person-centered care.

This course discusses how to use the Audioscan Speechmap screen (available in the Verifit, Verifit2, Axiom and RM500SL) as a compelling counseling and fitting tool.

Recent updates to ANSI standards for real-ear measurements have introduced a standard definition of the RECD. Current implementations that use the ANSI standard RECD will be described, along with new protocols that help us to increase the accuracy with which we personalize a hearing aid fitting for a child or an adult.

This course will describe and demonstrate the directional microphone verification technology available in Audioscan's Verifit equipment. Audioscan's unique FFT/ multiple input stimulus directional test model is featured and both test box and on-ear directional mic tests are described.

InSituGram, an optional feature in the Connex fitting software, is used to establish hearing levels with the hearing aid in place. The InSituGram considers the individual acoustics of the patient’s ear canal as well as any venting effects when wearing the hearing aid. Learn how to use this feature for in-person or remote adjustments.

This course provides an overview of the Advanced Bionics cochlear implant system and the portfolio of hearing solutions. Participants will learn about cochlear implant candidacy criteria, the CI evaluation process, the surgical procedure, current technology solutions, bimodal considerations and outcomes and aural rehabilitation options.

This course is intended for the clinical audiologist who would like to further their understanding of functional listening evaluations and how to implement these when needed to better serve their pediatric patients.

This webinar will provide participants with an introduction to the EduMic, another innovative technology from Oticon Medical which supports better hearing in challenging environments. Participants will learn about the features and benefits of this new wireless accessory. They will also hear from those who have had the opportunity to use it with children in the classroom.
