Electrophysiology CEU Courses

This 3-part course series covers introductory, intermediate and advanced topics in intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring for audiologists, from an overview of operating room considerations, to cranial nerve monitoring, to multi-modality monitoring for complex cases. It is designed for audiologists who are currently providing intraoperative monitoring services, as well as for audiologists and students who wish to learn more about this exciting area of practice.

This course provides an overview of multi-modal monitoring applications in the operating room, focusing on EMG, SSEP, and TcMEP. Techniques for recording, interpreting and optimizing multi-modal recordings in the operating room will be discussed. This is the third webinar in a 3-part series on Intraoperative Neurophysiologic Monitoring, that will be taking place on AudiologyOnline in June 2017.

This course provides an overview of the most common cranial nerve monitoring applications in the operating room. Techniques for recording, interpreting, and optimizing cranial nerve activity and function in the operating room will be addressed. This is the second webinar in a 3-part series on Intraoperative Neurophysiologic Monitoring, that will be taking place on AudiologyOnline in June 2017.

This is the first webinar in a 3-part series on Intraoperative Neurophysiologic Monitoring, that will be taking place on AudiologyOnline in June 2017. This course will provide an overview of the operating room (OR) workplace to the generally unfamiliar audiologist. OR personnel and commonly enountered protocols will be discussed, along with an overview of neurophysiologic testing conducted in the OR.

This 3 hour webinar reviews the cortical auditory evoked potential (CAEP) in adults, children and infants. It describes the use of the N1-P2 response complex as an objective predictor of hearing threshold in adults and older children. It discusses the relationship between audibility of speech sounds and the presence of CAEPs in infants and children with hearing loss using amplification. Additionally, it describes how CAEPs are being used in clinical practice to assist with fitting of hearing aids in young infants. Clinical case studies and examples are provided. This webinar is presented in partnership with Seminars in Hearing.

This course describes how cortical auditory evoked potentials (CAEPs) are being used in clinical practice to assist with the fitting of hearing aids in young infants. Content will include research behind the choice of test protocols, benefits and limitations, and clinical case examples, including results seen for infants with auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder, (ANSD).

In order to reduce lost to follow up and accurately monitor hearing in infants and older children who are unable to complete behavioral hearing evaluations, it is critical that the diagnostic ABR be completed efficiently and accurately. This can be confounded by difficult test environments and poor infant sleep state. This presentation will discuss difficult test environments/populations and options for ABR protocols, equipment characteristics, sedation/anesthesia options and strategies which can be utilized to optimize the ABR evaluation.

This course describes the relationship between audibility of speech sounds and presence of cortical auditory evoked potentials (CAEPs) in infants and children with hearing loss using conventional amplification or nonlinear frequency compression. Translation of the evidence to clinical applications will be discussed together with case studies. This course is presented in partnership with Seminars in Hearing.

Please note: You may earn ABA Tier 1 credits for this course if you complete it as part of the course 29288, "Current topics in CAEPs." Course 29288 contains recordings of all three events from our series on Cortical Auditory Evoked Potentials (CAEPs). ABA Tier 1 CEUs can be earned only when all modules are completed as part of course 29288.

This course explores differences in the cortical auditory evoked potential of children with and without a diagnosis of APD. Parallels are drawn between the observed differences and the maturational changes of the central auditory nervous system demonstrated by the cortical auditory evoked potential (CAEP). This webinar is presented in partnership with the journal Seminars in Hearing.

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