CEU Courses

An exploration of the fundamentals of functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and its potential to revolutionize research on listening effort in individuals with hearing aids. In addition to research uses, the presenter considers its potential for clinical uses.

This course explores the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in modern hearing aid technology, focusing on how AI enhances user experience, sound quality, and device functionality. The latest advancements in AI-driven hearing aids are reviewed, including real-time environmental adaptation, personalized sound settings, and health monitoring features.

This course explores the role of emotional responses and facial expressions in individuals with hearing loss, emphasizing their importance in audiology. The impact of hearing loss on emotional recognition, emotional responses, advancements in facial expression recognition technology, and applications for improving clinical and educational outcomes are discussed.

This webinar provides a review of methodologies for studying listening effort in hearing science, focusing on subjective and behavioral measures of effort. Recent hearing aid and cochlear implant research using these listening effort methodologies is also discussed.

This Grand Rounds session features audiologists and speech pathologists who specialize in diagnosing and managing pediatric patients. During this course, a panel of speech and audiology professionals shares 5 clinically applicable cases that helped them grow and innovate their clinical practice. The importance of evidence-based care is highlighted to achieve the best outcomes for pediatric patients.

The performance of hearing aids in meeting rooms, theaters, and houses of worship is greatly enhanced by assistive technology: hearing loops, FM/Infrared assistive listening devices with neckloops as mandated under Americans with Disabilities law, and, hopefully soon, future public Auracast systems, but only if users have hearing devices that can connect to these systems. This course will cover the basics of telecoils (T-coil programming, verification, and validation), how Auracast figures into this, and a brief overview of how you/your clients can foster future proof hearing access in the community.

This Grand Rounds session focuses on adult cases that incorporate a broad range of considerations in medical aspects of audiology and areas of health literacy and the interactions between hearing loss and speech impairment.

Cultural literacy is an important component of patient-centered care, but how this is addressed by audiologists and their respective workplaces remains largely varied. This session provides an overview of audiologists’ perspectives on cultural literacy and the degree to which audiologists are prepared and confident in delivering culturally sensitive care necessary for patient-centered care.

This pediatric grand rounds presentation presents case studies of six patients with hearing concerns. Collaboration, evidence-based practice, and innovation are used to obtain the best outcomes.

Hearing healthcare is not a siloed profession and we depend on our network of practitioners to improve the outcomes of our patients. This Grand Rounds presents cases where referrals helped, or would have helped, patients in achieving their best outcomes.
