CEU Courses

The purpose of this course is to provide introductory instruction on the Aurical Aud audiometer. This course is designed to provide a basic tutorial on using the Aurical Aud to perform audiometric evaluations. This course will provide an overview of hardware and OTOsuite software, demonstrate basic operation, manipulation of test/display options and settings, and report setup and printing.

ICS Impulse makes head impulse testing accessible for any clinician. This course will cover what is gained by performing the head impulse test, how to perform the head impulse test, how the data assists in the diagnosis and treatment of the patient, and how it fits into our current battery of tests.

This course provides an overview of hearing instrument verification procedures with the AURICAL probe microphone equipment. It will discuss benefits of verification, goals, and basic terminology as well as provide a step-by-step tutorial of how to make measurements.

This presentation presents tips and recommendations for collecting quality ASSR responses. It includes understanding ASSR, uncovering the myths about ASSR, patient preparation, data collection as well as understanding the ICS RapidASSR algorithm and determining the threshold response.

The purpose of this course is to describe the VNG test battery in the context of the anatomy and physiology of the balance system. Examples of common VNG abnormalities will be shown.

Studies have demonstrated variability of fittings for the same hearing loss across hearing instrument manufacturers. This course discusses how familiarity with input parameters and their impact on the target allows clinicians to quickly recognize and reconcile sources of variability and improve patient outcomes.

Verification of hearing aid gain and output is a critical aspect of the hearing aid fitting process. Join our experts as they discuss key elements and recent advances of these real-ear measures. Additionally, they present their views on the use of verification to successfully manage challenging cases to optimize outcomes.

It is understood that standardization is required to accomplish a quality UNHS program in order to achieve the goals set forth. One key component for successful UNHS worldwide is the use of AABR. This presentation will investigate implementation of a newborn hearing screening program as well as current programs that have been successful in reaching global goals quantified by quality assurance measures. We will also review the Wyoming Newborn Hearing Screening (NBHS) Program and discuss the advantages of using AABR as the primary measure for NBHS.

This presentation will review 2 pediatric vestibular clinical cases. Using these clinical cases as a guide, Dr. Janky will review the overall prevalence of dizziness / vestibular loss in children, which children are candidates for vestibular assessment, which vestibular assessments are appropriate given the child’s age and vestibular assessment modifications for testing children.

This presentation focuses on the importance of performing Probe Microphone Measures (PMM)/Real Ear Measures (REM) for all pediatrics fitting and the adverse short- and long-term ramifications of not using evidence-based practice on language, social and emotional outcomes for children. A brief history of PMM’s will be covered and case presentations will be discussed.
