Medical And Surgical CEU Courses

The course will present the latest findings on neurocognitive changes in hearing loss and effects of intervention with amplification and cochlear implantation.

Multidisciplinary intervention of individuals at risk of falls and post-fall is crucial to effective rehabilitation and prevention of future falls. This course identifies areas of collaboration and supportive information-sharing strategies between professions who commonly see individuals who fall and are likely to be injured due to a fall.

Chronic diseases are medical conditions of long duration and slow progression. Chronic diseases are caused by a combination of genetic, physiological, environmental, and behavioral factors. They often result in significant activity limitations and participation restrictions and require ongoing medical attention. Although most chronic diseases are not curable, the impact of these chronic diseases can be reduced by medications and personal lifestyle improvement.

In this podcast, Kathy Dowd, AuD, of The Audiology Project, discusses the co-morbidities associated with hearing loss of adults onset and the importance of early identification.

Multidisciplinary assessment of individuals at risk of falls is crucial in identifying functional and diagnostic factors. This course identifies areas of collaboration and supportive information-sharing strategies between professions who commonly see individuals who fall and are likely to be injured due to a fall.

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.

This course will introduce clinicians to the latest in bone anchored hearing device clinical research. Clinical evidence for best practices will be discussed in this hour-long course.

Vestibular dysfunction and significant fall risks are more prevalent in the diabetic population. Learn about the pathophysiology and epidemiology of diabetes to improve your understanding of the impact this disease can have on balance function.

Menière Disease (MD) and Vestibular Migraine (VM) are the 2 most common causes of episodic vertigo. Diagnosis of both disorders is based on clinical history and on audiometric exam showing, in Menière Disease, sensorineural low-frequency hearing loss. At onset, differential diagnosis is often a puzzling dilemma, considering that around 50% of MD subjects also experience migraine, and VM patients, in many cases, report cochlear symptoms during attacks. Recent works propose that according to phenotypes and comorbidities, MD could be differentiated into subgroups, each presenting peculiarities for onset and evolution, MD with migraine among them. Other authors proposed a similar work for VM patients. In this webinar, Dr. R. Teggi examines clinical and etiological conditions commonly shared.

This course will discuss surgical aspects of The Ponto Implant system including details on Osseointegration, Minimally Invasive Ponto Surgery (MIPS), and MONO surgery, providing valuable information to any clinician recommending Bone Conduction amplification.

The participant in this course will understand the extended candidacy criteria with cochlear implantation and expectations. The course will cover implanting under age one, hybrid hearing with cochlear implantation, CI under local anesthesia, single-sided deafness, cochlear implantation, and auditory brainstem implantation.
