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 Central Auditory Processing Disorder and Treatment Recommendations
Starkey CEU courses
Presented by Janette Mongelli, AuD
Recorded WebinarText/Transcript
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.

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.

20Q: Changes to Auditory Processing and Cognition During Normal Aging – Should it Affect Hearing Aid Programming? Part 2 – Programming Hearing Aids for Older Adults
AudiologyOnline CEU courses
Presented by Richard Windle, PhD, MSc, CS
Text/Transcript
Course: #39168Level: Advanced2.5 Hours
Part 1 discussed how a decline in some elements of cognition and auditory processing alters speech perception during normal aging. This course considers how hearing aids may help or hinder speech perception for older adults. The author discusses how different hearing aid settings can affect the speech signal and consider practical ways we can use this in the clinic to offer the optimum fitting for an individual, in particular how we should set up hearing aid compression.

20Q: Changes to Auditory Processing and Cognition During Normal Aging – Should it Affect Hearing Aid Programming? Part 1 – Changes Associated with Normal Aging
AudiologyOnline CEU courses
Presented by Richard Windle, PhD, MSc, CS
Text/Transcript
Course: #39167Level: Advanced2.5 Hours
Many aspects of cognition and auditory processing decline with normal aging, and this makes it difficult to hear in challenging situations, even without the additional problems caused by peripheral hearing loss. There is a huge amount of literature about hearing and aging. This course summarizes relevant findings and discusses the processes of normal aging that particularly affect speech perception.
