CEU Courses

This course will provide an overview of cortical auditory evoked potentials, current research, benefits and limitations to using CAEPs in a busy clinic, and several case studies.

This course includes presentations on unique and complex hearing aid cases by audiologists at Henry Ford Health System. The cases will include a wide range of audiological and medical diagnoses.

Highly prevalent, age related hearing loss (ARHL) for which treatments are available, has recently been identified by the Lancet Commission as a potentially modifiable risk factor. In isolation or when presenting concurrently, ARHL and dementia are costly conditions because of their marked impact on social functioning, health outcomes and well-being. The goal of this seminar will be to provide an overview of dementia and the connections to hearing loss and hearing health care interventions.

This webinar is designed to meet the requirements of biennial licensure renewal for healthcare licensees in Pennsylvania. Content includes the nature of the child welfare system in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the aspects of child abuse in Pennsylvania law, potential indicators of child abuse, the provisions and responsibilities for reporting suspected child abuse, and how to make appropriate referrals to the child welfare system.

Recent work has explored the complex relationships between hearing loss and cognitive decline. This presentation will discuss the theoretical (i.e., recent research) and practical (i.e., tools and techniques) implications of age-related changes in hearing and cognition, and how that information can be applied to clinical practice.

This course will review frequency discrimination (Δƒ) in children, at the Δƒ threshold and at suprathreshold levels. It will show that the presence or absence of APD and/or SLI influences outcome measures differently. Implications on clinical practice will be discussed.

This article discusses autoREMfit hearing aid fitting, how it compares to best practices in hearing aid verification, and provides considerations and recommendations for professionals using autoREMfit to help optimize accuracy.

This course features selected webinars from the 11th annual AudiologyOnline noise induced hearing loss (NIHL) series, organized by guest editor Brian Fligor, ScD, PASC. This course highlights the latest research on NIHL, specifically NIHL and other auditory system effects of blast trauma, military service, and recreational activities. Applications for audiology practice and improved clinical outcomes are discussed.

This course will focus on the critical partnership between educational/school audiology and community audiology services. Issues that maximize educational and communication outcomes for school-aged children will be highlighted.

While unlikely, immediate, permanent damage to the auditory system can occur from recreational sound exposures. The most obvious recreational exposures is shooting firearms, but certain music exposures and motor sports can result in immediate noise-induced permanent threshold shift, tinnitus, or hyperacusis.
