Hearing loops, as well as neckloops connected to FM or IR assistive listening devices - as mandated under the 2010 updated Americans with Disabilities law - greatly enhance the performance of hearing aids in meeting rooms, theatres and houses of worship, if the user has access to a telecoil (inside the hearing aid or accessory). This course will cover telecoil basics; how orientation and T-coil programming affects your clients in a hearing loop, how to order, program, verify and validate telecoils to improve fitting outcomes, and a brief overview on how you and your clients can foster loop installations in your community.

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.

This two-part series presented in partnership with Salus University reviews the fundamentals and effective management of working with musicians within an audiology practice. Topics covered include terminology, diagnostic testing considerations, interpreting noise surveys, and hearing protection devices. In addition to prioritizing tinnitus, hyperacusis, diplacusis and hearing loss; engaging musicians in tinnitus management. Treatment considerations, selecting and fitting hearing aids that also optimize music listening will be discussed.
