Audiologists have an opportunity to prevent or mitigate hearing loss in children and adults. This webinar (Part 1) focuses on the importance of applying sensitive and value-added tests in the diagnosis of hearing loss and related disorders (e g., auditory processing disorders and tinnitus).

Audiologists and school personnel serving students with hearing loss continue to face challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic due to dramatic changes to students’ learning environments and formats. Join Dr. Erin Schafer, of University of North Texas, to review key findings and the resulting recommendations to promote learning, engagement and educational access for K-12 students with hearing loss.

Persons with hearing loss often struggle with emotional challenges directly related to these hearing difficulties. Too often, these challenges are going unnoticed by the hearing care professional. This podcast will review recent research findings related to the emotional challenges associated with hearing loss in adults and provide a strategy for how clinicians can better manage and account for these emotional challenges patients face.

This presentation will cover a variety of important and relevant topics ranging from research-based theoretical causes of tinnitus, strengths and weaknesses of various tinnitus handicap questionnaires, evidence-based application of tinnitus-masking treatment approaches, and an overview of ReSound patient-focused tinnitus solutions. At the end of this presentation, participants will have a foundation and framework for implementing a tinnitus program into their clinic practice or strategies for complimenting an already established tinnitus practice.

Hearing loss is a barrier to patient-provider communication and contributes to sensory isolation. As such, hearing loss is associated with poorer health care outcomes and poorer experiences in the health care system. In this session, we will explore the latest research in this area and consider whether hearing care may modify outcomes.

When you’re busy in the clinic and can’t seem to get even the most mundane of tasks done, it seems like a “catch 22” to hire yet another person, then have to train them from scratch. But, the Audiology Assistant truly is the key to practice efficiency. In this course, you learn how to put together a plan to create a job description and training regimen for an Audiology Assistant that creates efficiency in your practice both quickly and easily.

This course is a recording of a live webinar following the introduction of Oticon More in January 2021.
