Recorded Webinar
Course: #39720Level: Intermediate1 Hour
The most recent objective tool from MED-EL, Anatomy-Based Fitting (ABF), coupled with Electrically Evoked Stapedial Reflex Threshold (ESRT) measurements, allows audiologists to quickly achieve best outcomes for fitting both loudness and pitch with cochlear implant recipients, promoting clinical efficiency.

Move Over Mickey Mouse - Turning the Tables on What You Know About CI Sound Quality
MED-EL CEU courses
Presented by Josh Stohl, PhD
Recorded Webinar
Course: #38244Level: Intermediate0.5 Hours
Audiologists have been hearing from CI recipients for years that their sound quality is ‘cartoon-like’, but this is not what all implants sound like! This course reviews the ways MED-EL technology has evolved in the last decade to deliver Closer to Natural Hearing as never before. What does this mean? Your patients won’t miss Mickey Mouse!

Anatomy Based CI Fitting: Matching the Natural Ear Like Never Before
MED-EL CEU courses
Presented by Barbara Foster, AuD, CCC-A, Josh Stohl, PhD, Darla Franz, Katelyn Glassman, AuD
Recorded Webinar
Course: #38175Level: Intermediate1 Hour
MED-EL offers various electrode lengths for the best individual fit for each CI recipient. We’ve taken the next step forward by using imaging to visualize where the electrode sits after implantation within a patient’s cochlea. This information is then used to individualize the recipient’s map based on the real location of each electrode contact, before proceeding with fitting as usual. For the first time, audiologists are now able to best match the frequency settings to the natural pitch information unique to each patient’s ear. This webinar reviews Anatomy-Based Fitting, which is easy to implement with a just a few clicks in the MAESTRO fitting software.

Cochlear Implants and Single Sided Deafness: An Easy Approach to Audiological Assessment
MED-EL CEU courses
Presented by Lisa Park, AuD, Kari Smilsky, MClSc, Darla Franz, Allison Racey, AuD, Camille Dunn, PhD
Recorded Webinar
Course: #37345Level: Introductory1 Hour
Assessing outcomes in CI recipients with Single Sided Deafness is time consuming and challenging for busy clinics without a specialized test environment and equipment. This webinar will introduce a new testing resource from MED-EL that will help audiologists measure speech recognition through the implant and assess binaural listening skills, that can be completed quickly in a typical sound suite.
