Hearing And Hearing Loss CEU Courses

This course reviews the issues surrounding the understanding of speech in background noise and how hearing instruments and fitting procedures can be used to help solve this problem. New and innovative hearing aid processing is discussed.

This course analyzes current barriers hindering the consistent implementation of effective ototoxicity monitoring programs in the clinical setting. This course also highlights various ways these barriers were able to be addressed and successfully implemented by showcasing existing data.

The current state of follow-up care and its vital role in outcomes for adult hearing aid wearers is examined in this article. Ideas for making it more efficient are discussed.

Audiovestibular system assessment and management are crucial in head injuries to improve a person’s life. This lecture discusses the pathomechanism, epidemiology, clinical features, and management of audiovestibular injuries following head injuries and the legal perspective with the author’s own extensive case series.

This course focuses on cases that incorporate aspects of medical audiology and considerations for audiologists providing patient care in this population.

This Grand Rounds, in conjunction with the University of South Dakota, will present cases where an unfortunate event caused an impact on patient care or outcomes. Each case will highlight a different misstep, the implication on patient outcomes, and how the audiologist can improve patient outcomes despite an unfortunate event.

This article details the latest developments in the field of auditory biotechnologies that aim to medically treat hearing loss using a series of different approaches. The biotechnologies described in this interview include both restorative and protective treatments, and some of the molecular and cellular mechanisms behind these treatments are described along with the most likely patient populations for early clinical trials. Finally, the current state of offerings for auditory biotechnologies is also reviewed, and readers are pointed to appropriate information to connect their patients to upcoming clinical trials.

The congenital CMV (cCMV) series presents the latest research on diagnosis and treatment, raise awareness, delineate prevention efforts, provide information about early intervention options, and disseminate family support resources in an effort to reduce the number of babies infected with cCMV.

This presentation provides an overview of the definition of dual sensory loss and the characteristics of the most common visual deficit – cortical visual impairment (CVI). The impact of early intervention with children with dual sensory impairment are addressed and the value to the family. In addition, important aspects of what to expect from your PCP in dealing with State Agencies when seeking services for a child with CMV are discussed.

This four-course series highlights the next generation of audiology innovators and their pioneering approaches to meeting unmet audiologic needs in their communities and beyond. This peer-to-peer educational series highlights researchers, clinicians, and business owners and their pioneering ideas, care delivery models, and technologies which provide desperately needed niche services and audiologic care.
