This session covers how to support children with severe to profound hearing loss described in the context of specific patient needs. Additionally, clinical decision-making to determine the best solution to address the developmental and educational requirements for hearing well in noisy situations will be reviewed.

Troubleshooting can be difficult from a technical perspective and often becomes more difficult when considering the human factors of both wearers, like ambiguous descriptions from non-technical people, and hearing health care professionals, whose skill may vary based on knowledge and experience. This course seeks to demystify troubleshooting by providing an overview of current technology, a systematic review of each component and a disciplined approach for cross checking the technology.

This courses focuses on achieving a proper ear mold impression and the impact the impression has on custom in-the-ear hearing aid and custom receiver design. This course also reviews the manufacturing process for custom hearing aids and receivers to set appropriate expectations.

Audiologists and school personnel serving students with hearing loss continue to face challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic due to dramatic changes to students’ learning environments and formats. Join Dr. Erin Schafer, of University of North Texas, to review key findings and the resulting recommendations to promote learning, engagement and educational access for K-12 students with hearing loss.
