Sound quality is key to a successful hearing journey. If a hearing aid does not deliver natural and seamless sound quality, nothing else the hearing aid does matters. Starkey has completely reimagined the modern hearing aid with Genesis AI, our latest innovation in hearing technology. Powered by the Starkey Neuro Processor, Genesis AI features a patented additive compression system and new proprietary fitting formula. Genesis AI also delivers Starkey’s first use of an on-board Deep Neural Network (DNN) accelerator engine and includes several improvements to noise reduction and streaming sound quality. This course will provide an overview of both the new and improved sound quality features within Genesis AI.

Performing real-ear measures is a clinical win - win - win. It ensures patient audibility and therefore success with amplification. It aids confidence in the provider that they are delivering the highest standard of care. And it creates value for the practice by delivering clinical efficiency through the decreased need for adjustment appointments. During this course, we will discuss the setup of the real-ear equipment in a real office environment, how to structure patient appointments for measuring patient outcomes, integrating real-ear measures with hearing aid adjustments, and what to look for in hearing aid fitting. The goal of this course is to not only deliver efficient solutions that you can integrate into your office today, but also expand your thinking about ways to use real-ear in your clinical practice.

A review and discussion of Federal and State regulations pertaining to hearing aid dispensing in the state of New York.

An article reviewing what an audiologist should know to provide effective tinnitus clinical services. The course is not comprehensive, but rather covers essential concepts and reviews methods of tinnitus clinical management that have the strongest evidence base in the scientific literature.

At Starkey, we believe that great sound quality can also be accompanied by personalization for every patient. A great sounding hearing aid will still sit in a drawer (or get returned) if it’s not comfortable to wear all day or durable enough to withstand what wearers put them through. This course will review Starkey’s new process for enhanced ingress protection and the Genesis AI family of products designed to provide exceptional comfort, all-day reliability, and superior durability.

Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) is scarcely offered by audiologists but can be a powerful tool when implemented. This course aims to share the principles and format of a VRT program and educate the clinician in establishing multidisciplinary healthcare teams to best serve the dizzy patient.

This course is an overview of the features and benefits of the new Oticon Real hearing aids. The function of the core features will be explained, along with expected patient benefits.

This course will discuss ways of incorporating cultural humility into everyday practice. It will also stress the importance of self-reflection, to allow hearing healthcare providers to examine their attitudes on cultural humility and foster views about acceptance and inclusion to create more authentic and meaningful therapeutic relationships with their clients.

Despite major advances in all steps of the hearing aid fitting process, fine-tuning to arrive at the correct settings is still, and likely will remain, a key part of the wearer’s initial experience. This article demonstrates how an AI-driven, self-guided fine-tuning app--one that improves over time as more wearer data is entered into the system--drives better outcomes.

Advances in various hearing technologies have blurred the lines of rehabilitative candidacy for patients with different degrees of measurable hearing. Thus, the purpose of this course provides an overview of auditory outcomes and evidence-based practices for programming, verifying, and validating various hearing technologies including hearing aids and auditory implants.
