This course will help audiologists and vestibular providers alike solidify their knowledge of obtaining a case history and other patient information that is useful for vestibular testing. Asking more direct questions, determining candidacy, using functional assessment tools, helping to appropriately counsel, and clinical considerations for testing are covered in this course.

Oticon understands that sudden, disruptive sounds affect a large majority of hearing aid users, making it difficult to stay sharp and focused – especially when engaged in conversation.

This course reviews the regulations, discusses areas where problems might occur, and provides guidelines how the interested HCPs could add this product category to their portfolio.

In the past year, the long-awaited OTC hearing aid category has arrived. In this article, we review the background of the regulation, some issue to consider regarding fitting optimization, and practical tips for the audiologists who want to be involved in the sales and service of this product.

This course provides an overview of the use of wideband acoustic immittance in diagnosing middle ear pathologies in children between the ages of 3 and 12 years, including the differences between WBA amb and WBA TPP and the interpretation of absorbance data in cases of otitis media with effusion. Students will gain knowledge and skills in the use of WBA for the diagnosis of middle ear disorders in children.

The course will study Starkey's findings on the benefits of remote microphones and loop systems for hearing aids. We'll also explore how hearing professionals can help optimize their use.

After a firmware update in the Connexx 9.9 software, the BiCore Platform can now offer updates to 2 of its features with even more benefit to the wearer. Join this brief overview to learn more about the updates to features, as well as the Rexton App and Rexton Assist.

In the everyday practice of hearing aid fitting, audiologists sometimes develop misconceptions about how hearing aids work, or different fitting practices. We reviewed a few of them in this article and did a little debunking using data from recent research.

Over the years, general practices and beliefs around fitting hearing aids are formed. Some are from experience, some are from random observations or readings, and others are from a colleague or a rep. Often, not all of these beliefs are true, and that’s what we’ll talk about in this course.

This course will explore strategies to identify peripheral versus central cognitive factors that may contribute to auditory processing deficits, or complicate assessment and treatment of auditory processing dysfunction. Information will include strategies to reduce the influence of higher cognitive dysfunction, and avoid possible confounds associated with peripheral hearing loss.
