Hearing Evaluation Adults CEU Courses

This course will provide a comprehensive overview on hidden hearing loss—characterized by speech-in-noise hearing difficulties that occur even before audiometric thresholds are elevated. Specifically, this course will focus on the impacts of these hearing difficulties, as well as on the search for sensitive, non-invasive biomarkers appropriate for diagnostic purposes, and management interventions to effectively manage these hearing difficulties.

This presentation will describe the complex relationship between behavioral health, emotional health, and hearing loss in older adults. In particular, the relationship between social isolation, loneliness, and hearing loss will be discussed.

This course explains the importance of audiological care for inpatient populations and provides specific instruction regarding how to implement an inpatient audiology program. This course is presented in partnership with the Association of VA Audiologists (AVAA).

This course features selected webinars from the series held in partnership with The Association of VA Audiologists (AVAA). Highlights include expansion of the telehealth program, aural rehabilitation and counseling, interprofessional collaboration, and how to implement an inpatient audiology program.

This course focuses on cases of patients that present with interesting or unique situations and information that leads to effective diagnosis and treatment. The goal is to provide insight from each case that will influence patient care.

Greater racial/ethnic disparities exist among patients evaluated for hearing aids versus those evaluated for cochlear implants. This is the first event in a Diversity Series that will explore why diversity and inclusion matter in hearing healthcare and explore how we can improve our cultural competence and address race barriers in the healthcare system.

Hearing impairment in the extended high frequencies (EHFs) can occur in the presence of a normal audiogram. This 20Q reviews the current knowledge on EHF hearing impairment and the usefulness of EHF audiometry in the clinic.

This course provides clinicians – especially Otolaryngologists and Audiologists – an update on when to refer adult patients for cochlear implant (CI) evaluation. Traditional adult CI candidates are those who have moderate to profound hearing loss in both ears and have had limited success from hearing aids. Here we provide information to referring clinicians on when it is appropriate to refer their patients for CI evaluation, including a review of new “60/60” criteria, use of CI technology for patients with single-sided deafness (SSD), and updates on electric-acoustic stimulation (EAS).

Learn about the use of auditory evoked potentials, with an emphasis on envelope following responses (EFRs), as an objective tool to assess changes in auditory temporal processing. Emerging research from animal models and human clinical populations are used to highlight specific use-cases for the application of EFRs in the clinic.

This webinar reviews the Symphonia system, which enables hearing care professionals to simulate real-world listening scenes so that patients can experience the benefits of hearing aids and advanced hearing aid features. Symphonia provides 360° directional sound sources and allows the professional to change the angle and distance from which sounds are perceived by the patient in real-time.
