Patients undergoing treatments for ototoxicty often do not have access to hearing testing which could help prevent permanent, disabling hearing loss. This webinar provides insights into the challenges faced by these patients, reviews the critical need to integrate audiological services into their care, and discusses how automated audiometry can help bridge this gap in hearing healthcare.

AB is excited to offer a five-part series that focuses on empowering patients and creating more efficient practices. Join us for part three of this series to learn about the value of objective measures during surgery and post-operatively, and the benefits of early device activation to the patient and professional.

Communication breakdowns are the most common cause of medical errors, and patients with hearing loss are at an increased risk for miscommunication. Medical errors are a preventable adverse effect of care. This course will review common errors in hearing healthcare and learn how to prevent, monitor, and respond to these errors and improve our overall standard of care.
