Hearing, Hearing Aids, and Cognition: An Audiologist's Guide to Evaluating Evidence, in partnership with the American Academy of Audiology
American Academy of Audiology CEU courses
Presented by Nicholas Reed, AuD, PhD
Recorded Webinar
Course: #40907Level: Advanced1 Hour
This session presents an in-depth review and assesses the methodologic rigor of the epidemiologic literature on hearing and cognition, summarizes the current body of literature within an epidemiologic causal framework, deconstructs the interpretation of recent clinical trial findings on whether hearing aids delay cognitive decline, and, lastly, considers differences in population versus individual-level interpretations of the entire body of research. The overarching aim of this session is for attendees to walk away prepared and comfortable discussing the nuances of evidence on hearing, hearing aids, and cognition with their patients.

The Connection Between Hearing Loss and Falls: Risk Factors, Prevention, and Clinical Strategies
Starkey CEU courses
Presented by Dave Fabry, PhD, Patricia Gaffney, AuD
Recorded Webinar
Course: #41259Level: Intermediate0.5 Hours
Falls are a leading cause of injury and death among older adults, with one occurring every second in the United States. Research shows that even mild hearing loss triples the risk of falling, and this risk rises as hearing loss worsens. This course, featuring Dr. Patricia Gaffney and Dr. Dave Fabry, explores the relationship between untreated hearing loss and fall risk, the cognitive and physiological factors linking the two, and actionable strategies clinicians can implement in practice.

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.
