CEU Courses

This course serves as a practical start-up guide to designing a course or workshop for new instructors or those looking to polish their existing skills. With immediately-applicable steps starting from the very basics, this will guide readers to integrate goals with learning objectives, contents, and assessments.

This course discusses experiences of conflict in the clinic and how to navigate them. Emphasis will be placed on discussing prejudice affecting graduate clinicians and how to manage patients exhibiting prejudice or discrimination towards staff and clinicians.

As Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) Coordinators, we witness many families struggling to obtain accurate information on supporting their Deaf child’s language development. Language development is not about what the Deaf child can or cannot hear. This course discusses how to help families and parents navigate and gain access to information for their Deaf children.

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.

Music and Hearing Aids: A Clinical Approach is a relevant guide for hearing health professionals working with hard-of-hearing musicians and enthusiasts, offering practical strategies to optimize amplified music for this population. The book provides a reader-friendly exploration of wavelength acoustics and essential music basics while also identifying gaps in research and technology for potential field advancements.

Many aspects of cognition and auditory processing decline with normal aging, and this makes it difficult to hear in challenging situations, even without the additional problems caused by peripheral hearing loss. There is a huge amount of literature about hearing and aging. This course summarizes relevant findings and discusses the processes of normal aging that particularly affect speech perception.

This course reviews patterns of noise-induced cell death, changes in sound evoked hair cell and neuron response, and functional deficits, including both threshold shift and deficits “beyond the audiogram.” As investigational inner ear medicines enter clinical testing for possible prevention of cochlear injury or cochlear regeneration indications, reliable diagnostic metrics for specific cell and nerve injuries are becoming increasingly important.

An overview for the hearing healthcare professional about Alzheimer's disease and related disorders is provided in this course. Strategies for assessment and diagnosis, improving communication with patients, understanding and managing behavioral challenges, care planning and promoting independence are discussed. Methods for supporting family and caregivers are also described.

This course introduces the challenges that patients with single-sided deafness face and details diagnostic work-up, treatment options, and long-term outcomes after treatment with cochlear implants. Furthermore, current research on neural activation and its effect on the treatment of subjects with single-sided deafness is discussed.

This introductory webinar provides a foundational understanding of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) and chatbots, focusing on their relevance, utility, and applications for hearing healthcare professionals. It includes a basic overview of AI as well as how-to walkthroughs with current GenAI tools for typical professional uses. It is designed to equip attendees with insights and essential resources to get started with GenAI or take their skills to the next level. Don't miss this opportunity to get ahead of the curve on the rapidly evolving landscape of GenAI - one of the most important innovations shaping our future.
