There are a variety of decision points in a patient's hearing help journey. This talk will describe how we can make sure we are part of the patient's journey no matter where the journey starts and regardless of the technology involved in the hearing solution. Digital as well as brick and mortar strategies will be discussed.

Hearing loss is a barrier to patient-provider communication and contributes to sensory isolation. As such, hearing loss is associated with poorer health care outcomes and poorer experiences in the health care system. In this session, we will explore the latest research in this area and consider whether hearing care may modify outcomes.

In the everyday practice of fitting hearing aids, we develop many beliefs, about both the technology and the fitting procedures. Some of these beliefs are based on things we think we have read, things we have heard from a rep, things from our fitting experiences, or things we just believe to be true because we always have. But for most of us, not all of them really are true. This presentation will reveal some of the most common misconceptions related to the fitting and operation of hearing aids.

Hearing speech in noise continues to be the #1 concern for those with hearing loss. Signia’s new AX platform is designed to ensure a clear contrast between the speech signal and ambient noise, making it easier for the brain to identify and understand the speech signal. With the exceptional sound experience, the AX platform brings a new connectivity experience and our proven Signia Assistant, the first live deep neural network.

As most hearing care professionals know, the functional capabilities of individuals with hearing loss are defined by more than the audiogram. Many of these functional capabilities fall under the rubric, auditory wellness. This podcast will be a discussion between Brian Taylor of Signia and his guest, Barbara Weinstein, professor of audiology at City University of New York. They will outline the concept of auditory wellness, how it can be measured clinically and how properly fitted hearing aids have the potential to improve auditory wellness.

Recently, traditional hearing aids have converged with consumer audio devices to create a new category of products, commonly referred to as hybrid devices. These devices offer persons with hearing difficulties the opportunity to improve communication and health-related quality of life outcomes at a younger age when hearing loss is often of a milder degree. To fully realize the benefits of hybrid devices, however, it is essential for clinicians to understand the link between self-reported hearing difficulties, subclinical hearing loss and their impact on health-related quality of life. This course will review the relationship between self-reported hearing difficulties, contrast it with objective hearing loss of adult-onset, discuss its consequences on health-related quality of life and reviewed how hybrid devices can be employed clinically as an early intervention strategy.
