Beyond Speech Intelligibility: Expanding the Clinician’s Role in Assessing the Individual’s Auditory Ecology
Signia CEU courses
Presented by Brian Taylor, AuD
Text/Transcript
Course: #41222Level: Intermediate1.5 Hours
Although hearing aid signal processing strategies are largely designed to optimize speech intelligibility for their wearers, other objectives such as listening comfort, listening to music, and enjoying the sounds of nature might be highly important for some. The term, auditory ecology, is used to describe a listener’s varied acoustic environments, the listening tasks they perform within them, and how important those tasks are in daily life. This article provides insights into how an individual’s auditory ecology can be assessed more broadly and how hearing aid selection decisions should be considered beyond improving the speech intelligibility of the wearer.

Understanding Individual Variability Among Older Adults with Hearing Loss, in partnership with American Auditory Society
AudiologyOnline CEU courses
Presented by Pamela Souza, PhD, CCC-A
Recorded Webinar
Course: #40758Level: Intermediate1 Hour
Advancements in hearing aid design have increased the number and complexity of signal processing features that can be manipulated during a fitting, challenging the conventional approach of fitting to pure-tone thresholds. This talk reviews a decade of work on how the individual's abilities--including hearing loss, age, and working memory--influence hearing aid outcomes and communication, especially in noise; and how that research evidence translates to clinical practice.

Understanding Central Auditory Processing Disorder and Treatment Recommendations
Starkey CEU courses
Presented by Janette Mongelli, AuD
Recorded Webinar
Course: #41015Level: Intermediate1 Hour
Central auditory processing disorder (CAPD) is a disorder that affects a person's ability to understand auditory stimuli, which can lead to difficulties across a range of necessary daily activities. Although CAPD has been described in the literature since 1954, it is not widely understood; this is complicated by the fact that there are differing approaches to diagnosis and treatment. This course will review the incidence of CAPD, neural underpinnings of CAPD, deficits associated with the disorder, and treatment options.

The Devil is in the Defaults: How Various Signal Processing Strategies Influence Fine-Tuning Decisions in Older Adults
Signia CEU courses
Presented by Navid Taghvaei, AuD, ABAC, CCC-A, Brian Taylor, AuD
Recorded Webinar
Course: #40918Level: Intermediate1 Hour
As modern hearing aids integrate more artificial intelligence (AI) and other automated features into their devices, it becomes increasingly more challenging to observe how many of these signal processing features work and how they may differ between brands. This course sheds light on this challenge and is divided into parts.
1) An examination of the normally aging human auditory system and the effect these age-related changes have on selecting and fitting hearing aids, using Windle et al’s 2023 fitting guidelines as a starting point.
2) Using case studies, a detailed discussion of underlying signal processing differences between two leading hearing aid brands, and how these differences can influence hearing aid selection and fitting decisions in the clinic.

Separating the causes of listening difficulties
Natus Sensory CEU courses
Presented by Harvey Dillon, PhD
Recorded Webinar
Course: #40749Level: Intermediate1 Hour
No CEUs/Hours Offered
Auditory processing disorder, defined here as a deficit in how the brain analyzes sounds, has remained a controversial topic within audiology for decades. Some controversy concerns what the disorder is called; more substantively, even its existence has been questioned. This talk will be directed toward understanding and quantifying the multiple causes of listening difficulties in people with normal or near-normal hearing thresholds. These causes include various types of auditory processing disorders and deficits in memory, attention, language, speech sound perception and potentially sub-clinical hearing loss.

Looking to Listen – Demystifying Central Auditory Processing with Visual Examples
AudiologyOnline CEU courses
Presented by Elizabeth Haley, AuD, CCC-A
Recorded Webinar
Course: #39803Level: Advanced1 Hour
Research indicates that using visual aids during counseling can significantly improve patient understanding, engagement, and information retention, particularly with respect to abstract or complex concepts. This course highlights analogies between central auditory processing and visual processing.

Evidence-Based Adult Cochlear Implant Counseling Using the CIQOL Instruments, in partnership with American Auditory Society
AudiologyOnline CEU courses
Presented by Teddy McRackan, MD, MSCR
Recorded Webinar
Course: #40075Level: Intermediate1 Hour
This course explains how the Cochlear Implant Quality of Life instruments provide a greater understanding regarding adult cochlear implant outcomes and how these tools can be used to improve individual patient decision-making during preimplant counseling.

20Q: Auditory Processing Disorders - Is There a Gold Standard?
AudiologyOnline CEU courses
Presented by Andrew J. Vermiglio, AuD
Text/Transcript
Course: #39454Level: Intermediate2 Hours
This course describes the origins and current views on the auditory processing disorder (APD) construct. This course includes a discussion of the identification of the “gold” or reference standard test (or test battery) used for the diagnosis of an APD.
