CEU Courses

Before 2020, most of us didn’t often encounter people wearing masks in places like stores, restaurants or public transit, but these days, masks are everywhere – making communication more challenging. Masks not only cover the mouth, making lip reading impossible, but they also make it difficult to see facial expressions, and even filter sounds making it harder to hear. Join us for this training as we review in-clinic recommendations to help mediate the communication challenges masks can cause.

OTC Hearing Aids will require the user to select their own gain profiles. This course will discuss several approaches to evaluating the efficacy of those profiles.

How clinical simulations are used in audiology training programs, including a discussion of current and future clinical simulation tools and technology.

Patients implanted with the Nucleus® 22 cochlear implant can now benefit from all the innovation available in the Cochlear™ Nucleus® 7 Sound Processor! This course will refresh your legacy programming skills to support Cochlear’s earliest implant recipients when they upgrade to improved sound quality and the ability to stream directly from compatible iPhone and Android devices.

Having a child with a disability causes significant family stress. The course will help clinicians learn how to assist families in managing stress related to their journey in managing stress for children with hearing loss.

What does it mean to adopt a holistic approach to hearing care? And how do we communicate with our patients in a person-centered manner? In this course, we will introduce the Four Habits model and describe the key communication tasks in applying person-centered care in hearing care appointments.

This edition of the Vanderbilt Audiology Journal Club will cover recent articles and publications on vestibular topics presented by Gary Jacobson PhD, Richard A Roberts PhD and Kelsey Hatton AuD.

Due to the recent increased focus on providing patient-centered healthcare, use of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) have become an essential component of assessing whether the services provided improved patients’ health and sense of well-being. This course will discuss the role of PROMs in healthcare and how using these measures in clinical practice can enhance treatment efficacy, improve patient-clinician communication, and assist clinicians in providing better person-centered care.

This course discusses how to use the Audioscan Speechmap screen (available in the Verifit, Verifit2, Axiom and RM500SL) as a compelling counseling and fitting tool.

Recent updates to ANSI standards for real-ear measurements have introduced a standard definition of the RECD. Current implementations that use the ANSI standard RECD will be described, along with new protocols that help us to increase the accuracy with which we personalize a hearing aid fitting for a child or an adult.
