Hearing Evaluation Children CEU Courses

This course will provide the latest evidenced-based information on protocols combined with expert insight, in order to help audiologists avoid commonly encountered errors in aural immittance measurement and analysis. Errors include those associated with improper technique, inattention to factors influencing test outcome such as patient age, and the failure to apply diagnostically proven tympanometry and acoustic measures for select patient populations. This course is part of the Common Errors in Diagnostic Audiology series on AudiologyOnline - search the AudiologyOnline Course Library to browse and view the other courses in this series.

This course reviews the evidence and rationale for creating individualized audiologic diagnostic and screening test batteries with an emphasis on maximizing diagnostic value and enhancing clinical efficiency. It provides practical information for audiologists to review their protocols and implement value-added changes.

This session provides guidelines for constructing an individualized audiological test battery with the goal of enhancing efficiency and accuracy of the diagnostic process and improving patient management and outcomes. Examples of diagnostic test batteries are presented for selected pediatric and adult patient populations with an emphasis on maximizing diagnostic value and minimizing test time.

This course discusses preschool hearing screening in an engaging Q & A format. Topics covered include: universal newborn screening, and why some children are not screened or lost to follow up; types of assessments for preschool hearing screenings; evidence-based protocols for preschool hearing screening and follow up.

Please note: You may earn ABA Tier 1 credits for this course if you complete it as part of the course 29608, "Audiological Test Battery Series." Course 29608 contains recordings of all three events from our 2017 series on Audiological Test Batteries. ABA Tier 1 CEUs can be earned only when all modules are completed as part of course 29608.

A clinically feasible and effective protocol for infant hearing assessment with ABR is described. Research findings support all recommended stimulus and acquisition parameters.

This course discusses clinical applications of infant ABR from diagnosis to intervention in a pediatric hospital setting. This webinar will include an overview of protocols, populations, equipment, and a wide variety of case studies. This course is presented in partnership with Cincinnati Children's.

In this course chirp stimuli are described and their rationale for clinical application is discussed. Data are presented in support of the use of chirp versions of click and tone burst stimuli in ABR and ASSR assessment of infants and young children. This course is open captioned.

This modular course reviews hearing assessment for infants and young children using ABR. An evidence-based protocol as well as chirp and brief-tone bone-conducted stimuli are discussed.

This webinar will discuss the history of brief-tone bone-conduction auditory brainstem (ABR) research and its clinical applications today as an essential component of early diagnosis of hearing loss in infants. Methodology and interpretation of bone-conduction ABRs to estimate bone-conduction hearing thresholds will be discussed in detail and cases will be provided to illustrate the principles explained. This webinar will be open captioned.

This webinar will review the objective measurements of immittance audiometry for both new and experienced clinicians in order to support best practices.
