Recent work has explored the complex relationships between hearing loss and cognitive decline. This presentation will discuss the theoretical (i.e., recent research) and practical (i.e., tools and techniques) implications of age-related changes in hearing and cognition, and how that information can be applied to clinical practice.

This course will review frequency discrimination (Δƒ) in children, at the Δƒ threshold and at suprathreshold levels. It will show that the presence or absence of APD and/or SLI influences outcome measures differently. Implications on clinical practice will be discussed.

This article discusses autoREMfit hearing aid fitting, how it compares to best practices in hearing aid verification, and provides considerations and recommendations for professionals using autoREMfit to help optimize accuracy.

This course features selected webinars from the 11th annual AudiologyOnline noise induced hearing loss (NIHL) series, organized by guest editor Brian Fligor, ScD, PASC. This course highlights the latest research on NIHL, specifically NIHL and other auditory system effects of blast trauma, military service, and recreational activities. Applications for audiology practice and improved clinical outcomes are discussed.

This course will focus on the critical partnership between educational/school audiology and community audiology services. Issues that maximize educational and communication outcomes for school-aged children will be highlighted.

While unlikely, immediate, permanent damage to the auditory system can occur from recreational sound exposures. The most obvious recreational exposures is shooting firearms, but certain music exposures and motor sports can result in immediate noise-induced permanent threshold shift, tinnitus, or hyperacusis.

This course will provide an overview, rationale for, and some initial cross-sectional data from the Noise Outcomes in Servicemembers Epidemiology (NOISE) Study. The NOISE Study is an ongoing longitudinal epidemiological study exploring risk factors for tinnitus and hearing loss by individuals who have served in the military.

Did you know that Enchant hearing devices can connect to the Internet of Things? Join us for this Sonic Spotlight to learn more about how Enchant hearing aids can connect to a garage door opener, a home security system, a favorite app and so much more.

This course will focus on the current approach to blast trauma and the role of the audiologist in working with this population. Characteristics, assessment tools, and treatment will be discussed.

This course discusses how audiologists can successfully adapt to the changing market including the advent of over the counter hearing aids by following evidence-based practice, practicing the full scope of practice, and using a patient-centric pricing and delivery model.
