CEU Courses

Oticon has long distinguished itself in creating cutting edge solutions for the most difficult problems faced by persons with hearing impairment. With the release of Oticon More, we are again introducing new approaches to allow for the highest levels of performance for users. In this seminar, we will describe design and performance of our new core features, More Sound Intelligence and More Sound Amplifier.

What does it mean to adopt a holistic approach to hearing care? And how do we communicate with our patients in a person-centered manner? In this course, we will introduce the Four Habits model and describe the key communication tasks in applying person-centered care in hearing care appointments.

This course will cover the current Oticon products and accessories available on contract. Additionally, we will review how new research has influenced and refined our BrainHearing philosophy.

Often the decision to obtain amplification is made by the patient in consultation with a spouse, other family members or maybe even close friends. For older adults, these relationships can be a significant benefit but may, at times, also bring along some negative elements. And the nature of these relationships may be changing with the generational shift society is experiencing.

The involvement of family and communication partners in healthcare is a well-established element of person centred care. This course will describe the important roles that communication partners play, explore the impact of hearing loss on family members, and identify practical tools that audiologists can use to involve them in the hearing care journey.

The final judge of the success of a new fitting will of course be the patient, and the criteria that they use may not always be in line with an objective audiological measure. This course will review some of the issues and options at play when having the patient weigh in on the value of the new devices.

Getting teams onboard with change can be challenging. This course introduces clinical leads and managers to the Ida Change Guide, an enjoyable and easy-to-use process for involving their teams in the change journey and implementing person-centered care in their clinic.

Children with hearing loss returning to school may encounter teachers and other school-based professionals who will be using personal protective equipment (PPE). This webinar will share data on the effect of different PPE on audibility for students with hearing loss.

Our field has developed a variety of standardized approaches to measure the effect of a hearing aid fitting. But in many cases, these audiologically measured outcomes do not necessarily correlate with the patient’s overall assessment of the value of the fitting. This course is designed to take a patient-oriented approach to defining the effects of fittings.

The purpose of this session is to provide an overview of the complete Oticon portfolio. Advanced signal processing technologies that clean up the signal making it easier on the brain to make sense of sounds will be reviewed. New additions to the portfolio and the range of hearing impairments that can be fit will be discussed.
