Hearing Evaluation Adults CEU Courses

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 method for use in audiology practice is clear. This program will present Cognivue Thrive, a new cognitive screening tool that overcomes the common barriers that have limited the practical implementation of cognitive screening in audiology, and provide practical information on how to implement cognitive screening as part of expanded evaluation and outcome measures.

In this two-part series, attendees will be introduced to the concept of health economics, and its importance in determining how to improve health outcomes and lifestyle patterns through interactions among individuals, providers, and clinical settings.

In the second part of this two-part series, attendees will be introduced to the concept of health economics, and its importance in determining how to improve health outcomes and lifestyle patterns through interactions among individuals, providers, and clinical settings.

In this first part of a two-part series, attendees will be introduced to the concept of health economics, and its importance in determining how to improve health outcomes and lifestyle patterns through interactions among individuals, providers, and clinical settings.

Clinical research in hearing in noise testing using the Repeat Recall Test (RRT) will be shared along with understanding how and why results relate to working memory, cognition, and noise tolerance in end users. Efficient evaluation protocols of the RRT will be presented enabling Hearing Care Professionals to better understand the individual listening needs of each person and appropriately modify the hearing treatment plan, as needed, to increase Hearing Aid satisfaction.

Using automated audiometry to obtain basic diagnostic air, bone, and speech audiometry has been validated as an effective way to manage audiologists’ time and patient schedules. In order to utilize this method effectively, this presentation will ensure that audiologists have confidence in the validity of these results.

Cognitive screening has been discussed and recognized as an important tool of audiologic evaluation and patient care for many years. However, its use in clinical practice has remained limited and stagnant for almost as long due to a myriad of factors, including a lack of familiarity with traditional testing methods and time constraints. Lately, with the burgeoning availability of a more accessible and practical cognitive screening option, there is a new drive to standardize and formalize the role of cognitive screening as a component of audiologic patient care.Tune in for a review of related research and recommendations, current actions underway to educate and support the audiology community, and how cognitive screening underpins a new approach to more holistic, patient-centered care.

Hearing with two ears provides several binaural advantages to the listener including sound localization and a sense of balance between the ears. A new feature within the MED-EL fitting software aligns the processing delay of the cochlear implant with the hearing aid to allow bimodal recipients enhanced binaural advantages regardless of hearing aid type or style.

Although many within the audiology community understand the value of cognitive screening, evidence demonstrates that most audiologists are reluctant to implement a screening tool due to a lack of familiarity with traditional testing methods, or time constraints – both for training and test administration. The introduction of Cognivue™ Thrive® has upended these common notions, by offering a computerized, portable cognitive assessment tool that is self-administered by the patient in 5-10 minutes. Join Dr. Al Turri as he hosts a discussion among Cognivue users from the private practice setting, and learn first-hand how and why Cognivue has contributed to enhanced patient care without disrupting clinic operations.
