Feedback in a hearing aid fitting can be problematic for a number of reasons. Potential consequences include not only annoyance and discomfort for the listener, but also a reduction in sound quality and speech understanding that can impact the overall benefit of amplification. This course will discuss what feedback is, when and why it occurs, and will provide the professional with an understanding of the signal processing strategies used to manage feedback in hearing aid technology today along with some practical clinical considerations.

Oticon Opn S built on the OpenSound paradigm delivering improved speech understanding while reducing listening effort. Now with Oticon Xceed, we extend the open sound experience to patients with severe to profound hearing impairment. For individuals struggling with single sided deafness, we bring the benefits of open sound experience with a new CROS solution.

Oticon’s pediatric ambition is clear; we want to create a better future for every child with hearing loss – not least of those being children with a severe-to-profound hearing loss. In most cases, these children need immediate support in order to open up to the world, connect with loved ones, grow, thrive, and learn. This session will introduce the latest solutions setting a new standard among pediatric power hearing aids.

The Audeo Marvel family has gone beyond expectations, delivering love at first sound to patients who wear it and universal connectivity for the audiologists who fit it. With Marvel 2.0, Phonak is introducing even more hearing performance, more connectivity and apps, and more choice. This course will review the new additions to the Marvel portfolio as well as new technology updates.

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.

This presentation will discuss ReSound’s Li-ion rechargeable solution. Hearing instrument and charging unit features will be reviewed as well as patient benefits.

Today, most all major hearing aid manufacturers have partnered with one or more probe-mic companies to facilitate autoREMfit. That is, the interaction between the fitting software and the real-ear measures allow for automatically fitting to prescriptive targets. The notion is that this approach is faster than traditional verification, speeding up the fitting process. But is the procedure valid? Is it reliable? Is it as good as "clinician fit"? That's what we'll talk about in this webinar.

Educational audiology is a related service stated in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (special education law), but service provision varies, depending on the area of the country. This course will describe how clinical audiologists can support their patients and advocate for educational audiology services.

The services of a dispensing practice are sought out by patients who range in age, socioeconomic status, health condition and many other factors that can directly impact their health and that of those around them. It is imperative that the dispensing practice ensure the safety of all involved, both patients and staff alike in the prevention of the potential transmission of disease. As new harmful microbes arise and diseases thought to be eradicated return, the dispensing practice must be diligent in practicing proper and consistent infection control. This course will focus on the risk of infection control in the dispensing workplace as well as the development and implementation of an office infection control protocol.
