Despite major advances in all steps of the hearing aid fitting process, fine-tuning to arrive at the correct settings is still, and likely will remain, a key part of the wearer’s initial experience. This article demonstrates how an AI-driven, self-guided fine-tuning app--one that improves over time as more wearer data is entered into the system--drives better outcomes.

Advances in various hearing technologies have blurred the lines of rehabilitative candidacy for patients with different degrees of measurable hearing. Thus, the purpose of this course provides an overview of auditory outcomes and evidence-based practices for programming, verifying, and validating various hearing technologies including hearing aids and auditory implants.

This course is designed to provide insight into Oticon Medical’s minimally invasive surgical options while also providing the clinician with the tools necessary to counsel patients through the decision-making process.

Accessories can enhance the hearing aid patient experience, providing wireless connectivity and convenience wherever the patient needs it. This session will provide an overview of the Starkey wireless accessories that meet any patient's needs.

Well-fitted Phonak hearing instruments paired with Roger technology offers students access to speech and multimedia content in the classroom and beyond. This course will review solutions beyond the hearing aid fitting including Roger applications for school and home.

Dr. Dave Fabry talks to Dr. Sara Burdak, Chief Audiology Officer and Executive Vice President of Product Strategy, to discuss how treating hearing loss is key to successfully aging at home. The discussion covers the latest release of Evolv AI hearing aid technology and how updates to sound quality, TeleHear, Fall Detection, and Alerts deliver performance and features that can support the wearer’s goal of better hearing and better living.

This presentation educates audiologists about remote care capabilities and discusses the possibilities of telehealth for your tinnitus patients. This course is part of a four-course series, Destroying the Box: Innovative Audiologic Care Delivery which highlights the next generation of audiology innovators and their pioneering approaches to meeting unmet audiologic needs in their communities and beyond.

Adults with severe-to-profound hearing loss utilizing hearing aids are typically not benefitting sufficiently from traditional amplification and often would benefit from hearing implants. This course will review ways hearing care professionals can support adult patients who may benefit from implants (either now or in the future) by presenting information on the cochlear implant (CI) option early in an individual’s hearing journey. A CI is not a last resort, but rather a means for those who fall within the guidelines to experience hearing improvement, rather than continued decline.

Noise is a frequent hazard of today's work and entertainment environments. Hearing loss from noise is fully preventable when the right precautions are taken. This course discusses the impact of noise exposure, elements of a hearing conservation program, and the rationale for providing conservation services and products. Hearing Protection Devices (HPD's) are also reviewed.

Vestibular disorders in children are a significant cause of childhood morbidity with various manifestations that are often unrecognized or undiagnosed. The etiological profile, phenotype, and management for peripheral and central disorders are markedly different from that in adults. The diagnostic algorithm with the latest technology is also different as children are far more difficult to obtain anamnesis from and to test as compared to adults. Examining a child is really an art that can come from years of experience and knowledge about the pediatric vestibular system and its development. It is also important to recognize the close overlap with pediatric neurology and indeed, a robust knowledge in neurology is essential to practice pediatric neurotology. This presentation includes an overview of the developing pediatric vestibular system in children, the etiology of pediatric vestibular disorders, the diagnostic process with evidence-based latest methods, and their management. The differences in pediatric vestibular diagnosis and disease profiles are also highlighted from the authors’ personal series.
