Hearing Evaluation Adults CEU Courses

This presentation will review the classic hearing aid evaluation and how to transform the appointment to a functional and communication needs assessment. Each test will be reviewed, with how-to videos posted via website for reference, and recommendations from the results will be discussed so audiologists can incorporate it into a plan of care.

The level of evidence connecting brain health and hearing health continues to expand, as does the use of hearing intervention as a mitigation strategy for cognitive decline. The need and demand for an appropriate, modern cognitive testing tool for use in audiology practice is clear. Dig into the science of the ear-brain connection, how cognitive screening fits in audiology practice, and why cognitive screening facilitates patient-centered care.

Using automated audiometry to obtain basic diagnostic air, bone, and speech audiometry has been validated as an effective way to manage audiologists’ patient schedules. In order to utilize this method effectively, it is important for hearing healthcare professionals to have confidence in interpretation of these results.

The course reviews the terminology, psychological aspects, and characteristics of persons displaying a false and exaggerated hearing loss (FEHL). It also gives specific techniques for interviewing, screening, counseling, and referring for psychosocial problems.

This grand round course will cover a wide range of tinnitus topics with a special focus on unique cases. This course will focus on the evaluation and treatment using evidence-based methods.

This podcast will focus on using SNR loss scores to determine treatment goals.

The GSI AudioStar Pro includes over 150 integrated wordlists for speech testing, and it is possible to have additional CDs extracted for integration to the instrument. This webinar will focus on the most efficient ways to add, organize, and present integrated speech materials with this audiometer.

GSI Suite offers comprehensive audiometric, tympanometric, and OAE data management. This webinar will focus on transferring, interpreting, and customizing reports for OAE data using the GSI Corti.

Word recognition testing seems pretty basic, yet many audiologists take shortcuts and use techniques based on habit and convenience rather than evidence. These methods may have a negative clinical impact. This article uses a Q & A format to explain how to follow best practices for word recognition testing, common pitfalls, and why it matters.

Bone conduction audiometry is a standard test performed in an audiologic evaluation. Bone scores help indicate the site of lesion and type of hearing loss that may be present; however, there are times when unexplainable air/bone gaps or bone thresholds poorer than air thresholds are obtained. This webinar will address some of the oddities of bone conduction audiometry and clear up some of the frustration felt by clinicians when strange results are obtained.
