Phonak has been committed to providing hearing solutions for those 0-18 years of age for over 50 years. In this one-hour session, we will review the science behind Sky Lumity from the outside in, including research supporting specific solutions for babies, children, teens, and young adults.

This course provides an introduction to the current version of ReSound Smart Fit software. In addition to reviewing software basics, this course will make note of changes in ReSound Smart Fit 1.18.

This course explores the integration of social determinants of health (SDOH) into audiology practice, emphasizing the impact of socioeconomic, educational, environmental, and healthcare access factors on hearing health outcomes. Participants will gain insights into identifying, addressing, and advocating for SDOH-related disparities to promote equity and improve patient care.

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.

When a patient seeks hearing help, it is because they want to hear better, enjoy the best sound quality, with as little effort as possible. This course discusses adaptive and on-demand sound management features that use science-based algorithms to power high fidelity audio modeled after the human auditory system.

Exploring vestibular disorders in children, this webinar delves into the unique clinical pathways and diagnostic challenges of pediatric third window phenomena. It highlights the groundbreaking research and specialized assessment techniques at Alder Hey, Europe’s leading pediatric balance center. The session underscores the critical need for precise recognition and management of these disorders, which are often overlooked yet crucial for reducing morbidity in affected children.

The webinar delves into the crucial role of gaze stabilization in daily functioning, which allows individuals to track objects, orient in space, and perceive the world in three dimensions. It examines the complex interactions between the brain and peripheral sensors that manage signals sent to oculomotor and spinal muscles, highlighting the vestibular system's key contribution. The session discusses how eye movements reflect brain integration processes, and how abnormalities in these movements can indicate neurological issues, often before they are detectable through imaging. The presentation features a personal collection of over 80 abnormal eye movements to illustrate different neurological pathologies, utilizing advanced computerized tools to measure and diagnose these abnormalities.

Hearing healthcare is not a siloed profession and we depend on our network of practitioners to improve the outcomes of our patients. This Grand Rounds presents cases where referrals helped, or would have helped, patients in achieving their best outcomes.

Telehealth technology for hearing healthcare has continued to grow in popularity and offers both patient and professional the ease of connecting when convenient. Starkey’s TeleHear Remote programming technology makes remote programming even easier: offering both synchronous and asynchronous tools to truly meet your patient where they are.

A recent report suggests approximately 20% of hearing aid non-owners cite stigma as a barrier to pursuing hearing aids – even when lower cost, direct-to-consumer options are made available to them. This article outlines the underlying causes of stigma, how older adults with hearing loss manage stigma, and how both clinicians through better person-centered communication, and manufacturers through improved product design can more effectively address and overcome the deleterious effects of stigma.
