CEU Courses

This session walks clinicians through 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. In addition, we will discuss how you can think outside the test box and use the real-ear equipment to evaluate alternative devices like Apple Airpods, OTC devices and more. The goal of the course is to not only deliver practical solutions that you can integrate into your office today but also expand your thinking about ways to use real-ear in your practice.

This course focuses on cases of patients that present with interesting or unique situations and information that leads to effective diagnosis and treatment. The goal is to provide insight from each case that will influence patient care.

Greater racial/ethnic disparities exist among patients evaluated for hearing aids versus those evaluated for cochlear implants. This is the first event in a Diversity Series that will explore why diversity and inclusion matter in hearing healthcare and explore how we can improve our cultural competence and address race barriers in the healthcare system.

Music is a universal language that transcends all boundaries of communication, brings people together, and enhances experiences. Whether a causal music listener or a musician with hearing loss, music should be enjoyable. Starkey’s dedicated music response uses a dual compression system that both optimizes audibility for soft music and restores the perception of loudness for loud music. This course will review the benefits of a dedicated music compression system and how to adjust these features to optimize the world of music for your patients.

Rexton Connexx software is an integral part of the fitting process. Connexx 9.6 fitting software is designed to improve workflow. Learn how easy it is to use and navigate the Connexx 9.6 software to optimize the wearer’s hearing experience in this webinar.

Paradise technology has allowed patients to access the world around them with ease, with features such as hands-free, Made-For-All, AutoSense OS, StereoZoom, and RogerDirect. Now, we bring Paradise into customs, with Virto P and Virto P Titanium, allowing you to offer your patients unrivaled sound quality, connectivity, ease of use, and aesthetics. This course will review the patient’s journey, your journey, and the hearing aid’s journey to Paradise.

Health literacy is a critical aspect of patient centered care, but it often flies under the radar of many hearing care professionals. In this podcast, Barbara Weinstein, esteemed professor at the City University of New York, sits down with Brian Taylor to discuss the multidimensional aspects of health literacy and how hearing care professionals can improve the patient activation process by applying various health literacy principles.

In this course we will interview Jerry Northern, PhD, a pioneer in the field of pediatric audiology, and his daughter, Amy Hardie, MEd, a teacher of the deaf and hard of hearing. We will discuss the evolution of universal newborn hearing screening in the United States and the current state of early intervention for children with hearing loss.

After sudden unilateral hearing loss (UHL), single-sided deaf (SSD) listeners are expected gradually to adapt to their UHL through active everyday listening to sounds in the space around them; however, structured training in spatial localization of sound sources can potentially aid in aural rehabilitation for these SSD listeners. This presentation aims to reveal the advantages of such auditory training for SSD listeners (and also listeners with asymmetric hearing loss), particularly when employing a training program designed to attune them to unilateral acoustic cues that can enable them to localize speech sounds under conditions of uncertainty (via blind listening tests).

This course covers the integration of audiology services in an established Neonatology clinic. Risk factors and case studies will be reviewed and discussed to highlight the importance of collaborative care for this high-risk population.
