Hearing Conservation And NIHL CEU Courses

Noise exposures are an important but under-recognized cause of disease and disability in America. This webinar discusses trends in workplace and community noise exposures, describes known and emerging health effects associated with these exposures, and provides resources that are helpful to better evaluate these issues.

This four-course series highlights the next generation of audiology innovators and their pioneering approaches to meeting unmet audiologic needs in their communities and beyond. This peer-to-peer educational series highlights researchers, clinicians, and business owners and their pioneering ideas, care delivery models, and technologies which provide desperately needed niche services and audiologic care.

Audiologists perform and review audiograms for many types of employers. This requires a fundamental understanding of the differences between regulatory agencies and best practices in the context of hearing threshold shifts, age corrections and baseline revisions. This course will advance your knowledge in occupational audiology and link you to many resources.

Noise is a frequent hazard of today's work and entertainment environments. Hearing loss from noise is fully preventable when the right precautions are taken. This course discusses the impact of noise exposure, elements of a hearing conservation program, and the rationale for providing conservation services and products. Hearing Protection Devices (HPD's) are also reviewed.

An introduction and examination of the role of teleaudiology in modern audiologic practice are discussed in this course. In particular, as it relates to non-regulated hearing conservation in the modern workforce. This course is part of a four-course series, Destroying the Box: Innovative Audiologic Care Delivery which highlights the next generation of audiology innovators and their pioneering approaches to meeting unmet audiologic needs in their communities and beyond.

This webinar provides information on the theoretical foundation of current clinical and scientific approaches to the detection and management of ototoxicity. Limitations to this current theoretical framework are presented, along with new conceptions and approaches in the field of ototoxicity.

Musicians' ears are part of their instruments, and audiology expertise is important for amateur as well as professional musicians. Standard audiology clinic protocols and knowledge may not always be on target for musicians. This course uses an engaging Q & A format to discuss musicians' unique hearing needs and how audiologists can best meet them.

This course features selected webinars from the 12th annual AudiologyOnline noise induced hearing loss (NIHL) series, organized by guest editor Brian Fligor, ScD, PASC. Highlights include the latest research on NIHL, specifically how it relates to a musician's risk, diagnosis via telehealth, and treatment of tinnitus and hearing loss.

This course discusses best practices care for the music industry. From recommended diagnostic procedures to seeing a band backstage at a venue, attendees will learn how to modify best practices to suit clinical and “real world” situations.
