Prescriptive hearing aid fitting rationales play an important role in successful hearing aid fittings. The ability to optimize the hearing aid response from the first fit forward is necessary to ensure the technology being fit provides amplification that is appropriate for the hearing loss, promotes effective communication, and addresses the individual needs of the patient. Hearing aid fitting formulas can also play a role in the acceptance or rejection of amplification. In this session, Dr. Dave Fabry discusses fitting formulas with Dr. Andrea Hannan Dawkes, Senior Education & Training Audiologist.

Phonak has been committed to providing hearing solutions for those 0-18 years of age for over 50 years. In this one-hour session, we will review the science behind Sky Lumity from the outside in, including research supporting specific solutions for babies, children, teens, and young adults.

This course introduces new, innovative bimodal stimulation and sensory substitution technology and how it can be leveraged to expand the treatment of tinnitus and hearing loss. It covers existing and emerging research, and how Neosensory solutions can be applied in clinical practice.

Smartphone call captioning is the latest in assistive technology available to persons with hearing loss who may or may not use hearing aids or cochlear implants. This course reviews InnoCaption as a solution for individuals with hearing loss, including a study which demonstrates that it can improve the experience of using the smartphone to the point that quality of life and well-being have been positively impacted.

This webinar provides an overview to students of the application and interview process when applying for the final year externship. Factors to consider, support for the process, and resources from the Audiology Clinical Education Network (ACEN) are discussed.

The effort of listening can be a major barrier to participating in work and social activities. This presentation is about understanding how to talk about effort in a way that connects with patients and is backed by evidence. It is presented in partnership with Seminars in Hearing.

This course explores the integration of social determinants of health (SDOH) into audiology practice, emphasizing the impact of socioeconomic, educational, environmental, and healthcare access factors on hearing health outcomes. Participants will gain insights into identifying, addressing, and advocating for SDOH-related disparities to promote equity and improve patient care.

Exploring vestibular disorders in children, this webinar delves into the unique clinical pathways and diagnostic challenges of pediatric third window phenomena. It highlights the groundbreaking research and specialized assessment techniques at Alder Hey, Europe’s leading pediatric balance center. The session underscores the critical need for precise recognition and management of these disorders, which are often overlooked yet crucial for reducing morbidity in affected children.

The webinar delves into the crucial role of gaze stabilization in daily functioning, which allows individuals to track objects, orient in space, and perceive the world in three dimensions. It examines the complex interactions between the brain and peripheral sensors that manage signals sent to oculomotor and spinal muscles, highlighting the vestibular system's key contribution. The session discusses how eye movements reflect brain integration processes, and how abnormalities in these movements can indicate neurological issues, often before they are detectable through imaging. The presentation features a personal collection of over 80 abnormal eye movements to illustrate different neurological pathologies, utilizing advanced computerized tools to measure and diagnose these abnormalities.
