Pediatrics CEU Courses

This course is presented by faculty and AuD students at The Ohio State University. Five challenging pediatric cases that incorporate current evidence and perspectives of patient care will be discussed. Each case provides “take-home” messages to incorporate into clinical practice.

An in-depth discussion of how cortical neuroplasticity can be used clinically to investigate and diagnose hearing loss.

Presenters from the Audiology program at the University of South Dakota provide specific, real-world cases exemplifying considerations, benefits and limitations of various means of service-provision aimed to support the population of a rural/frontier state.

This course will provide information on clinical considerations for Bone Conduction Hearing Devices (BCHDs) in the pediatric population. Both non-surgical and surgical options will be discussed with a focus on transitioning patients from a softband to surgical BCHD.

The Cochlear Case Studies series is designed to provide professionals with a deeper knowledge and insight about cochlear implants through the use of case studies. In this session, we will hear from Meghan Nemeth, AuD who will share a case and provide information about supporting bimodal and bilateral device use in young children.

Over the last several years, amplification options for children with single-sided deafness have expanded. From remote microphone technology to CROS systems and implant options, it is important to consider the individual needs of the children and design a system that is right for them. This course discusses the various options available and gives practical advice on what to consider when working with these children.

In this session, we will hear from Kristin Gravel, AuD who will share a case and provide information about candidacy for our youngest recipients.

The Cochlear Case Studies series is designed to provide professionals with a deeper knowledge and insight about cochlear implants through the use of case studies. In this session, we will hear from Elizabeth Preston, AuD who will share a case and provide tips for encouraging consistent device use.

Parents and caregivers rely on their audiologist to help develop their understanding of their child’s hearing loss. According to recent research, parents' needs go well beyond the use and care of their child’s hearing technology. Within the framework of Self-Determination Theory, this presentation will discuss the topics and resources families value as being most important.

Having a child with a disability causes significant family stress. The course will help clinicians learn how to assist families in managing stress related to their journey in managing stress for children with hearing loss.
