Over the Counter (OTC) Hearing Aids: Misperceptions and Misinformation
The Over the counter (OTC) hearing aid regulations issued by the FDA went into effect on October 17, 2022. The distinction between OTC or self-fit OTC devices does not appear to be clear, and in some cases deceptive. The flood of devices and claims further cloud the decision pathway for consumer and professionals. Amazon recently initiated a review of all devices on their site to ensure they have met the appropriate clearances and labeling as required under regulations. Several examples of correct labeling and claims, as well as those that are considered suspect are discussed. Examples of questions that both consumer and professionals should be asking when looking into OTC devices are discussed.

A Quantitative & Qualitative Approach Towards Evaluating OTC Hearing Aids
In the new era of self-directed care, the market is expected to offer several amplification technology options for consumers with self-perceived, mild to moderate hearing loss (and their clinicians). A gap exists as to the ability of individuals to make an informed choice about what technology is best suited for their hearing needs. In this presentation, we provide attendees with information about a new approach that provides consumers with quantitative and qualitative measures regarding electroacoustic performance and perceptual benefits. In addition, we describe how this approach will assist consumers and professionals in navigating this evolving landscape.

Evaluating the Efficacy of Music Programs in Hearing Aids
Hearing aid processing of music is much less thoroughly researched than hearing aid processing of speech. This presentation will report on a study using normal-hearing listeners that evaluated the efficacy of programs specifically designed for music listening in state-of-the-art hearing aids. In addition, an analysis of signal processing and acoustic features relating to the results are discussed.

Addressing Health Literacy in Clinical Practice
This course concentrates on helping clinicians build health literacy with their patients and their families. Hearing loss is a chronic condition. Therefore, we must help our patients better understand their diagnosis, develop strategies for long-term self-advocacy and self-management related to hearing protection, hearing loss monitoring, and effective use of hearing technology.

Adult Assessments in Hearing Healthcare: Working Across the Continuum, in partnership with American Cochlear Implant Alliance
As the prevalence of hearing loss increases, so does the complexity of the treatment path that patients with hearing loss experience. As hearing health providers, we all have the responsibility to make sure that the patients who can benefit from cochlear implants have access to them. Whether you're screening a patient for a hearing aid, recommending a cochlear implant evaluation, or activating the device, we all have a role to play in the continuum of care for managing hearing loss. This session will focus on the impact of age on hearing health, multidisciplinary approaches to diagnosis, and how providers are successfully incorporating cochlear implants into their diagnostic and treatment process.
