CEU Courses

This course will begin with a discussion on the fundamental purpose and importance of real ear measurement and investigate techniques to encourage efficient clinical utility. Then we will review device selection and fitting based upon output specifics, acoustic coupling, occlusion and feedback management as all of these factors have a significant impact on real ear measurement. Next, troubleshooting techniques will be organized and presented by low, mid and high frequency regions that can be applied when targets are not met in each region. Finally, the course will conclude with strategies for clinical decision making and the development of counseling narratives based upon real ear results.

This course covers the history and implementation of telehealth and teleaudiology, particularly focusing on synchronous teleaudiology in the VA system, including its use in Clinical Video Telehealth (CVT) for evaluations and fittings. It delves into VA's adoption of Teleaudiology technologies like VA Video Connect (VVC), remote programming, Automated Method for Testing Auditory Sensitivity (AMTAS), and Accessing Telehealth through Local Area Stations (ATLAS), alongside strategies for effectively managing a virtual workforce and clinical flow.

This course dives into the transformative journey of teleaudiology over the past decade, exploring its rapid growth, the impact of mobile health technologies, and lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants will gain insights into the current state of teleaudiology, including patient and audiologist perspectives, the challenges and opportunities ahead, and the potential for future innovations in hearing healthcare delivery.

In this podcast, tinnitus expert Dr. James Henry provides an overview of tinnitus generally and in the veteran population, closing with a discussion of current tinnitus research.

Artificial Intelligence is emerging from every corner, from ChatGPT to the healthcare sector. AI-driven hearing aid technology can enhance speech, reduce noise, employ beamforming strategies, and even track health metrics. The course defines Artificial Intelligence, reviews AI’s role in healthcare including hearing aids, and covers Phonak’s application of AI throughout the past two decades.

This Grand Rounds session focuses on adult cases that incorporate a broad range of considerations in medical aspects of audiology and areas of health literacy and the interactions between hearing loss and speech impairment.

28.8 million adults with hearing loss could benefit from hearing aids, but only 30% use them! Buying hearing aids is a logical decision; just have the data and facts on your side. Wear a white coat for authority, make your factual case confidently to demonstrate your expertise, and the patient will naturally arrive at your recommendation. Right? Not really.
Neurological research shows that decision-making is mostly an emotion-driven activity. Overlooking this scientific fact can lead your patients to see you as an adversary to protect themselves against, instead of an ally. By being able to better understand and connect with your patients and address their resistance emotionally and empathetically, more of your patients will feel comfortable moving forward with hearing aids, and you will feel more confident during a hearing aid consultation appointment.
We invite you to join us for an introduction to a conversational framework to address common reasons for resistance in moving forward with treatment!

This course will explore the VA’s implementation of TeleAudiology technologies such as VA Video Connect, remote programming, AMTAS, and ATLAS. Case studies will be utilized to highlight examples of how to utilize these emerging technologies.

When patients love the experience, they want to wear their hearing instruments as much as possible. Join us to learn how the latest technology can inspire maximum daily use.
