Cochlear Implants CEU Courses

This course will provide clinicians with an overview of Unilateral Hearing Loss (UHL)/ Single-Sided Deafness (SSD) in pediatrics and provide an introduction to counseling and treatment.

This course is intended to provide participants with an introduction to bilateral and binaural hearing, benefits gained from hearing with both ears. In addition, we will explore limitations due to cochlear implant processing of binaural cues, outcomes in patients and new ideas related to cognitive load.

Cochlear has offered combined acoustic-electric stimulation with the Nucleus 7 Hybrid Sound Processor since 2017. This course will ensure that clinicians have the knowledge to program Hybrid patients with Custom Sound Pro.

Children with deafness and autism have complex needs that require strong collaboration from a multi-disciplinary team for successful interventions. Service providers may feel uncertain about ways to coordinate and set priorities for these children. This series will explore multidisciplinary perspectives on deafness when it coexists with autism in an effort to help hearing health professionals gain better knowledge of autism and help understand the value of cross-disciplinary collaboration. Multi-disciplinary perspectives will be offered to help professionals recognize the early signs of autism coexisting with deafness, learn strategies to target more effective evaluation and interventions, and improve services to the child and family. This series will provide resources and clinical examples of Music Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Early Intervention, and School-Age Communication interventions for this unique population.

Deafness and autism both affect communication, but deafness is frequently identified before autism. Learn to identify the differences in communication development when a dual diagnosis may exist, proper referral channels, and intervention strategies to promote listening and communication skills in the school-age child.
