Getting help for hearing feels like a big step — so big that only 1 in 10 people with mild to moderate hearing loss choose professional treatment. A little hearing loss, it seems, doesn’t justify a lot of hassle and big prices. Fortunately, the Charm60 Standard IIC brings a better balance.

Presented by Christine Barton, this course provides participants with additional approaches to using music for spoken language development in young deaf and hard of hearing children. A special emphasis on the use of songs that focus on listening and language development while a young child is playing in the water will be provided.

This webinar will review the fundamentals of immittance audiometry for both new and experienced clinicians in order to support best practices.

This presentation will describe best practices in pure-tone audiometry to ensure that results are valid. Further, the audience will learn important interpretation principles including determination of type, magnitude, configuration and symmetry of hearing loss.

This course will provide participants with clinical information regarding cochlear implants in children with auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder.

If the family’s desired outcomes for their child include spoken language, literacy, social competencies, and life development consistent with hearing peers, then beginning in infancy, every encounter, location, and environment must be viewed from an acoustic accessibility perspective. That is, in order for a child’s auditory brain centers to grow and develop, the child’s brain must be stimulated with sufficient quality and quantity of auditory events. This course will address acoustic accessibility and technology considerations. Case management to optimize auditory access will be discussed and strategies to repair speech perception deficits provided.

This will be a slide presentation showing otoscopy photos of the ear, to review normal otoscopic ear anatomy, as well as several common and some uncommon pathologies of the ear as identified otoscopically. (NOTE: for the first 10 minutes there is poor sound quality although the presenter is intelligible, and the quality is corrected at the 10 minute mark).

Traditionally, mothers have been the primary contact for professionals providing intervention or habilitative services to families of children with hearing loss. Fathers have been described as the secondary or peripheral parent. This course will present the results of a national survey of over 262 fathers of children with hearing loss that evaluated their perspectives on service delivery and their own roles as fathers of children with hearing loss. Professionals will gain new insights in how to be more inclusive of fathers in the clinical, intervention, or habilitative services that they are providing.
