This course demonstrates the importance of simulation in clinical training and outlines specific lessons in which CARL can be incorporated in. From basic lessons introducing the components of a hearing aid to advanced fitting of a high-gain hearing aid, this patient simulator provides several validated benefits to existing audiology curriculums.

Key components of a tinnitus management protocol for audiologists including resources and references, written in an engaging Q & A format.

This course will review the benefits and use of Widex Remote Care, a tele-health approach to virtual hearing aid follow-up services. After taking this course, clinicians will understand how to implement Widex Remote Care and describe the benefits of this value added service for their practice and for their patients.

The educational journey an AuD student walks through is more than the didactic or clinical rotation exercise. If approached with creative forethought, the educational experience can encompass multiple opportunities for the student to exercise and grow positive personality traits leading to future leadership in audiology.

Hearing care professionals can gain valuable insights to what their patients’ initial listening experiences might be like simply by listening to the hearing aids. In a novel experiment designed to put Hearing Care Professionals in the shoes of their patients and to illustrate how sound quality can positively color the initial experience trying hearing aids, ReSound field representatives were trained to demo ReSound LiNX Quattro hearing aids on HCPs in a similar way that HCPs might do with their patients.

Hearing healthcare is evolving at a rapid rate. Origins of this evolution stem, in part, from the recent proliferation of disruptive innovations (e.g., OTCs/PSAPs, pharmaceuticals), along with changes in population dynamics. This course provides participants with evidence and hands-on tools that promote opportunities for increased audiology awareness, and increased adoption of services and technologies in this changing market landscape.

A discussion of current and future applications of otoacoustic emission measures in audiology clinical practice, written in an engaging Q & A format.

This foundational-level course is designed for audiologists who are new to working with Baha systems. After attending this course, participants will be able to determine if someone is a candidate for Baha systems, including the Baha Connect and Baha Attract Systems. Topics will include testing for candidacy, counseling potential candidates and demonstrating Baha systems. This course is designed as part of the overall “Foundations of Baha Implants” series.

We will introduce the first bone anchored sound processor on the Velox S platform. It is the world’s smallest BAHS sound processor and comes with new exciting connectivity options. We will take a look at OpenSound Navigator™ and how it is a paradigm shift in sound processing. Open Sound Navigator true 360˚ sound for your patients, as well as innovative design changes and the future of wireless connectivity today and in the future are now all available.

A discussion of hearing loss in the broader context of health care, the many areas that may be impacted by hearing loss, and some initiatives underway to look at addressing hearing loss on a larger scale. This article is written in an engaging Q & A format.
