This presentation delves into the current understanding of vestibular function in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) experiencing chronic imbalance. This talk highlights recent findings and case studies, ongoing challenges, and potential future research directions.

Technology is changing rapidly, and it can be challenging to know when and how it can be integrated into clinical care. This series of presentations will explore use cases where technology can be applied to improve client outcomes in audiological practice.

To live well with hearing loss clients must employ non-technical dynamics that are often underrepresented or overlooked in standard clinical practice, such as the reframing of attitudes towards hearing loss, and embracing a range of non-technical behavioral game-changers. This course introduces client-centered concepts to help them become stronger self-advocates, better builders of relationships and equipped to improve almost any listening situation.

This course provides an overview of rationale for revising nomenclature for describing hearing loss.

As the U.S. population grows more diverse, healthcare providers must adapt to meet the needs of different communities, yet many lack the resources to effectively serve Spanish-speaking patients. "Audiology Services in Diverse Communities" offers clinicians culturally competent strategies and bilingual tools to improve care and communication with minority patients.

This is a two-part course focusing on diagnosis and management of pediatric unilateral hearing losses in the clinical setting, the impact of unilateral hearing loss in the educational setting, and building professional working relationships to best support our patients/students. This course reviews the medical and educational impact of unilateral hearing loss for children, current recommendations regarding device and rehabilitation options, and conducting functional testing in the clinic and school settings to provide individualized recommendations for families and educational teams.

This course explores how to use the Cortical Auditory Evoked Potential for verifying hearing technologies on the user, evaluating the severity of Auditory Neuropathy Spectrum Disorder, and evaluating pediatric patients with Auditory Processing Disorders. Real world Cortical tracings and how to apply normative data to them are discussed.

The performance of hearing aids in meeting rooms, theaters, and houses of worship is greatly enhanced by assistive technology: hearing loops, FM/Infrared assistive listening devices with neckloops as mandated under Americans with Disabilities law, and, hopefully soon, future public Auracast systems, but only if users have hearing devices that can connect to these systems. This course will cover the basics of telecoils (T-coil programming, verification, and validation), how Auracast figures into this, and a brief overview of how you/your clients can foster future proof hearing access in the community.

Parents of children with hearing loss may struggle to understand the implications of early hearing loss, the importance of intervention, and how to navigate complex healthcare systems after diagnosis. This course reviews audibility-based counseling using the unaided and aided speech intelligibility index scores, which can complement other audiology counseling strategies and facilitate parent understanding.
