CEU Courses

Do you have a progressive hearing loss? Are you new to using your hearing aid or cochlear implant(s)? Learn about rehabilitation tools designed to help adults and seniors with a progressive hearing loss, who are using hearing aids or cochlear implants improve their speech understanding.

This is the first webinar in a 3-part series on Intraoperative Neurophysiologic Monitoring, that will be taking place on AudiologyOnline in June 2017. This course will provide an overview of the operating room (OR) workplace to the generally unfamiliar audiologist. OR personnel and commonly enountered protocols will be discussed, along with an overview of neurophysiologic testing conducted in the OR.

This course reviews the evidence and rationale for creating individualized audiologic diagnostic and screening test batteries with an emphasis on maximizing diagnostic value and enhancing clinical efficiency. It provides practical information for audiologists to review their protocols and implement value-added changes.

This session provides guidelines for constructing an individualized audiological test battery with the goal of enhancing efficiency and accuracy of the diagnostic process and improving patient management and outcomes. Examples of diagnostic test batteries are presented for selected pediatric and adult patient populations with an emphasis on maximizing diagnostic value and minimizing test time.

This course provides an overview of Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA), its relevance to audiology research and practice, a review of key studies using this methodology, and a look at potential future applications. This course is written in an engaging Q & A format.

Creating a compelling brand for your audiology practice is critical in helping you to stand out in a competitive market. Yet, brand and branding is something that is often overlooked or left to chance in many practices. In this highly visual presentation, Les Jones will de-bunk some of the myths surrounding brand and provide a number of practical hints and tips that will help you to develop a distinctive brand for your practice. He will also talk about how brand can be used as a powerful management tool to improve team engagement and productivity.

This practical session offers guidance for creating an individualized diagnostic test battery for each patient to enhance efficient and accurate assessment of auditory function. The presentation stresses the importance of selecting test procedures that add value to the diagnosis and management of hearing loss and related disorders.

In this training we will discuss the needs of today's hearing users in the context of hearing loss vs. lifestyle. We will present several approaches and technology to deal with the needs of current hearing aid wearers.

This course will provide an evidence-based overview of pediatric balance disorders, including symptoms, objective and subjective assessments, and other practical considerations for audiology clinical practice. This webinar is presented in partnership with American Auditory Society.

Prescriptive targets are the primary means of ensuring that a hearing aid fitting is appropriate. However, it is only a starting point for audibility. The SII (speech intelligibility index) is another way to determine if the signal is audible to the patient. While these are both useful and necessary measurements, they can also be misused in the hearing aid fitting for adults. This course will discuss the importance of SII and targets and situations where the audiologists’ knowledge and interactions with the patients should over-ride these measurements.
