This pediatric grand rounds presentation presents the unique characteristics of six pediatric patients with hearing loss. Out of the box thinking and collaboration are tools used to achieve best outcomes.

This course delves into the challenges of identifying hearing loss in young children and introduces an artificial intelligence (AI)-based method for distinguishing speech characteristics in children with and without hearing loss, potentially enhancing screening effectiveness. Additionally, it explores the validation of AI methods to enhance speech intelligibility assessment in children. Furthermore, NALguide, a user-friendly tool from the National Acoustic Laboratories, simplifies the understanding of hearing aid features, making it accessible to both clinicians and patients and promoting informed discussions about hearing aid technologies.

Signia’s IX platform is uniquely designed to improve performance in conversations. In this interview, the key findings of recent conversational dynamics research, which informed the design of the IX platform, are discussed with one of the researchers.

Sheila Thelen, President of Vestibular Training Services and Master Rated Figure Skating Coach, applied these world-class vestibular training tools (USA Patent) in an innovation presentation on how spinning affects the vestibular system and can improve the brain’s ability to balance and cognitive processes.

Educating patients on their tinnitus and how to manage it is a critical component of a comprehensive tinnitus treatment plan. This webinar reviews key components of an effective tinnitus education protocol, from the basics to advanced care and everything in between.

Although many clinical audiologists have never worked in an educational environment, they are an essential component to the classroom success of many children who are d/Deaf or hard of hearing. This course works to dispel misconceptions regarding special education law and classroom-specific listening needs for these children, as well as highlight opportunities for communication and collaboration between the audiologic clinic and schools.

The objective of the current study was to evaluate the efficacy of the Widex Sound Assist remote microphone when used with varying distances between the talker and remote microphone device. Understanding this distance effect could help Hearing Care Professionals instruct their patients adequately so the patients receive the most benefit from using remote microphone technology.

This course reviews ReSound Smart Fit software basics. First fit navigation, advanced features, and fine-tuning options are described.

This course describes recent research investigating how visual speech cues help children with typical hearing and children who are hard of hearing to compensate for degraded speech acoustics, such as noisy backgrounds and hearing loss. Information will include a description of the mechanisms that underlie the benefit from visual speech, as well as recent findings regarding how the benefit changes with age and how the benefit differs between children with typical hearing and children who are hard of hearing.

Starkey’s Genesis AI technology is engineered with more power, intuitive controls, and signal-processing features that are grounded in research. This course reviews the evidence supporting this new platform and demonstrates how this innovative technology is backed by science.
