Medical And Surgical CEU Courses

Patients undergoing ototoxic medical treatments often do not have access to hearing testing which could help prevent permanent, disabling hearing loss. This webinar provides insights into the challenges faced by these patients, reviews the critical need to integrate audiological services into their care, and discusses how automated audiometry can help bridge this gap in hearing healthcare.

This course covers the audiological and surgical criteria for Ponto implant candidacy, including detailed examination of surgical eligibility. Participants delve into intriguing Ponto surgery cases, alongside a comprehensive review of surgical techniques and procedures.

This course utilizes a case-history format to educate attendees on evaluating and managing patients presenting with facial nerve paralysis. Considerations for audiological assessment will be reviewed.

An overview of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI)/concussion and its pathophysiology, with particular emphasis on diagnostic and rehabilitation tools utilized by SLPs and audiologists, is provided in this course. Impacts of mTBI on hearing, cognition, vision and the vestibular system, assessments performed by the two disciplines post-concussion, and treatments for cognition (including auditory processing disorder) are described.

This course discusses various otologic diseases and how audiologists can participate in the care.

This course reviews conductive hearing loss amplification needs and management options. We explore the offerings of the Cochlear Osia 2 device and compare to other bone anchored hearing devices.

This course analyzes current barriers hindering the consistent implementation of effective ototoxicity monitoring programs in the clinical setting. This course also highlights various ways these barriers were able to be addressed and successfully implemented by showcasing existing data.

Audiovestibular system assessment and management are crucial in head injuries to improve a person’s life. This lecture discusses the pathomechanism, epidemiology, clinical features, and management of audiovestibular injuries following head injuries and the legal perspective with the author’s own extensive case series.

This course focuses on cases that incorporate aspects of medical audiology and considerations for audiologists providing patient care in this population.

This article details the latest developments in the field of auditory biotechnologies that aim to medically treat hearing loss using a series of different approaches. The biotechnologies described in this interview include both restorative and protective treatments, and some of the molecular and cellular mechanisms behind these treatments are described along with the most likely patient populations for early clinical trials. Finally, the current state of offerings for auditory biotechnologies is also reviewed, and readers are pointed to appropriate information to connect their patients to upcoming clinical trials.
