This course opened my eyes to a new way of thinking for "functional" hearing loss. It definitely helped give me a route to help a current patient that I struggled with finding a way to help them. Dr. Whitelaw is a great speaker and easy to follow!

The presenter was very knowledgeable about the subject area and presented the course information in a manner that was concise and easy to understand. The strategies discussed when it comes to fitting amplification and assistive listening technology on patients with APD or functional hearing loss is something that will definitely be useful during counseling sessions and evaluations.

Very eye opening and I will definitely implement more speech-in-noise testing and also consider "mild gain" aids for some of the pediatric (esp. teenagers) who are experiencing difficulty but yet have normal audios. Great presentation! Thank you for sharing your insight.

I, too, am an 'old' audiologist and can relate to her early consults with normal-hearing patients. I always that it was a 'relief' to these patients' to learn that they have normal auditory systems and normal hearing. I believe I will look at these patients differently from now on. Thank you for the insights.

This course supports the contention that those individuals purporting perceived hearing difficulties and audiometrically identified with minimal or normal hearing, should not be dismissed without consideration for trialed low gain amplification and, if warranted, aural rehabilitation.

In 1998 my professor talked about fitting hearing aids for APD, and it always stuck with me. When I began practicing no one else recognized that option. I read your article with Francis Cooke years ago and was glad to see, you shared her sentiments. Having auditory issues associated with ADD, I began using them myself. I went on to fit others with severe auditory complaints, tinnitus and misophonia. The common theme is that this is life changing.

I'm a Hearing Instrument Specialist and too old to get a doctorate but find this work fascinating. I do have patients with trauma history and need more support in noise. In addition, there have been normal audiograms and frustrated clients that left without treatment. This insight and body of continued work is fascinating and helpful (especially for the mother that can now listen to son and go to store). I have an experience of having too much auditory stimulation when taking Adderall.

Good information on the possible impact of hidden hearing losses on those experiencing/struggling with hearing loss symptoms with normal audiograms. I have seen many patients like this in the 2years I've been working. Would have liked more information on consideration when fitting these people - anyone with "normal/slight" losses I've tried amplification on comment the HA's add too much extra noise and they don't like how they sound.

I fit this population in my own pediatric practice and I love that Dr. Whitelaw puts so much time in putting this information into the hands of practicing audiologist. I am recommending this course to my Director and Manager for our entire department. Truly a "must have" course that goes beyond the old school routine of fitting the audiogram!
by

There was not a lot of information about the clinical process of identifying these patients. Case studies were very vague and didn't clearly demonstrate the clinical evidence as to why a hearing aid was recommended.

Gail is ALWAYS amazing to listen to and learn from. Her personal style of presenting is so conducive to learning. As an audiologist who has a self diagnosed APD and struggles with the pacing of presentations, I find I am able to follow Gail's pacing and conciseness in her presentations. Her visual aids are also of enormous help in her presentations.
