Hearing Evaluation Children CEU Courses

Parents of children with hearing loss may struggle to understand the implications of early hearing loss, the importance of intervention, and how to navigate complex healthcare systems after diagnosis. This course reviews audibility-based counseling using the unaided and aided speech intelligibility index scores, which can complement other audiology counseling strategies and facilitate parent understanding.

This course is designed to educate audiologists on the principles of Visual Reinforcement Audiometry (VRA) testing, including helpful clinical techniques, and optimal audiometric booth set up for VRA.

This text-based course covers the research, rationale, and protocol for hearing screening of preschool and young school-age children using a combination of two objective measures of auditory function, DPOAEs + tympanometry.

This Grand Rounds session features audiologists and speech pathologists who specialize in diagnosing and managing pediatric patients. During this course, a panel of speech and audiology professionals shares 5 clinically applicable cases that helped them grow and innovate their clinical practice. The importance of evidence-based care is highlighted to achieve the best outcomes for pediatric patients.

The course begins with a summary of the limitations of pure tone hearing screening followed by a review of the rationale for objective hearing screening of younger school age and preschool children. Most of the course is devoted to a description of critical steps in the development and implementation of an evidence-based efficient and effective hearing screening program for children of all ages.

This pediatric grand rounds presentation presents case studies of six patients with hearing concerns. Collaboration, evidence-based practice, and innovation are used to obtain the best outcomes.

Explore the new tools for Visual Reinforcement Audiometry. Activate and change the stimuli presented to your patients directly from your audiometer without the use of a remote control or computer, utilize a wireless and battery-free VROCA button for play audiometry, and operate your audiometer from inside the booth directly on your VRA screen.

This course focuses on referral, candidacy, and the evaluation process for cochlear implantation (CI) in children with single-sided deafness (SSD). Expected outcomes and factors that could influence performance in this population are discussed.

This two-part series covers considerations in the cochlear implant (CI) evaluation process, including outcomes, benefits, and quality of life for those with single-sided deafness (SSD). Both the adult and pediatric populations are discussed. A background on how CI utilization and perspectives for CI in SSD have changed and expanded in recent years are covered.

As Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) Coordinators, we witness many families struggling to obtain accurate information on supporting their Deaf child’s language development. Language development is not about what the Deaf child can or cannot hear. This course discusses how to help families and parents navigate and gain access to information for their Deaf children.
