CEU Courses

This course explores the integration of social determinants of health (SDOH) into audiology practice, emphasizing the impact of socioeconomic, educational, environmental, and healthcare access factors on hearing health outcomes. Participants will gain insights into identifying, addressing, and advocating for SDOH-related disparities to promote equity and improve patient care.

Exploring vestibular disorders in children, this webinar delves into the unique clinical pathways and diagnostic challenges of pediatric third window phenomena. It highlights the groundbreaking research and specialized assessment techniques at Alder Hey, Europe’s leading pediatric balance center. The session underscores the critical need for precise recognition and management of these disorders, which are often overlooked yet crucial for reducing morbidity in affected children.

The webinar delves into the crucial role of gaze stabilization in daily functioning, which allows individuals to track objects, orient in space, and perceive the world in three dimensions. It examines the complex interactions between the brain and peripheral sensors that manage signals sent to oculomotor and spinal muscles, highlighting the vestibular system's key contribution. The session discusses how eye movements reflect brain integration processes, and how abnormalities in these movements can indicate neurological issues, often before they are detectable through imaging. The presentation features a personal collection of over 80 abnormal eye movements to illustrate different neurological pathologies, utilizing advanced computerized tools to measure and diagnose these abnormalities.

Telehealth technology for hearing healthcare has continued to grow in popularity and offers both patient and professional the ease of connecting when convenient. Starkey’s TeleHear Remote programming technology makes remote programming even easier: offering both synchronous and asynchronous tools to truly meet your patient where they are.

A recent report suggests approximately 20% of hearing aid non-owners cite stigma as a barrier to pursuing hearing aids – even when lower cost, direct-to-consumer options are made available to them. This article outlines the underlying causes of stigma, how older adults with hearing loss manage stigma, and how both clinicians through better person-centered communication, and manufacturers through improved product design can more effectively address and overcome the deleterious effects of stigma.

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.

Better hearing goes so much further beyond hearing aids and gets even better when you include accessories for TV streaming, 1 on 1 conversations, and so much more. Join us to learn about the latest technology to take the hearing experience beyond hearing aids with Unitron’s accessory portfolio.

This webinar, presented by Clayton Fisher, focuses on modernizing clinical workflows and improving patient experiences through connected, efficient setups. Key topics include the importance of hearing aid verification, validation, and continuous follow-up to optimize patient outcomes.

This course provides an in-depth review of business models, emerging trends, and key concepts shaping the dispensing industry landscape. Practical tools and insights to effectively differentiate offerings, navigate challenges, and achieve prosperity in today's dynamic environment are discussed.

This course is designed to educate audiologists on the practical workflow for patients who require cochlear implants. From Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved indications and Medicare requirements to pre-op and post-op evaluations, audiologists will gain a clear understanding of the cochlear implant process.
