CEU Courses

This course will provide information regarding guidelines that can be used to identify patients who should be referred for a cochlear implant candidacy evaluation. It will include tools that clinicians can use to support their counseling of patients about cochlear implant evaluations and will include information regarding typical outcomes received by patients who receive a cochlear implant.

This course will provide case examples of patients who have been evaluated for a cochlear implant with a summary of their outcomes. Examples will include testing of patients with Single Sided Deafness (SSD), traditional candidates, and patients who qualify for hearing preservation surgery, such as those with normal low frequency hearing and severe to profound high frequency hearing loss.

Clinical models of care for adult cochlear implant recipients has changed little since implants were originally cleared by the FDA in the 1980’s. This course will discuss a new patient-centered and streamlined care model for adult cochlear implant patients and we will describe research that supports this new model.

Ongoing research indicates that patient satisfaction and speech perception improve when individualized treatment for hearing loss includes a plan for optimizing acoustic and electric technology when appropriate. This course will review treatment options, best practice guidelines, and current research outcomes in cases where patients experience both acoustic and electric stimulation.

Cochlear™ Remote Assist enables video appointments between hearing implant recipients and their hearing health professional. Join this course to learn more about how this ground-breaking technology can bring you closer to your patients than ever before.

Cochlear™ Remote Check is a virtual assessment tool for cochlear implant recipients using the Nucleus® SmartApp. Join us to learn more about how this revolutionary new tool can help you support your cochlear implant patients, even when they are not in the clinic.

This course provides information on the newly approved Nucleus 8 sound processor. Details include both clinical and practical information so that clinicians are empowered to treat patients who are scheduled for activation of their cochlear implant system and/or are in need of an upgrade from a previous-generation sound processor.

This course will introduce telehealth options to support children with cochlear implants to include the use of Remote Check, Remote Assist and tablet-based remote programming. Specific protocols and real-life clinical examples will be provided.

With expanding indications for implantable hearing solutions, it is important for patients to have timely access to potential treatment solutions. As a result of recent indication changes, The University of Miami Hearing Implant Program implemented new protocols for one group of patients in order to improve the overall experience. As a result, not only did the individual patient experience improve, they documented additional unpredicted benefits that benefitted their entire program. This webinar reviews that study and the observed outcomes.
