CEU Courses

This course explores the role of emotional responses and facial expressions in individuals with hearing loss, emphasizing their importance in audiology. The impact of hearing loss on emotional recognition, emotional responses, advancements in facial expression recognition technology, and applications for improving clinical and educational outcomes are discussed.

This course covers best practices for evaluating adult cochlear implant (CI) single-sided deafness (SSD) candidates, including the insurance elements that need to be considered with this population. Additionally, the outcomes and benefits of the technology with this population are discussed.

This course aims to highlight the importance of early fitting on softbands. The same presentation covers Softband vs. abutment and how Softband 5 has been designed to optimize sound transmission – a Softband is not “just” a softband.

The webinar provides a comprehensive analysis of Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), concentrating on its diagnosis, treatment, and the physiological basis behind it. The webinar aims to deepen the understanding of BPPV's clinical manifestations and treatment protocols through detailed discussions on positional testing and canal orientation.

Hearing healthcare practices are responsible for ensuring the safety of the professional staff as well as the patients and others who enter the practice. This course discusses the risk of infection in the hearing professionals’ workspace and risk prevention tools to develop an office infection control protocol.

In order to serve our patients properly we must have a solid understanding of how to fit our products to the highest level. This course will focus on some of the most common fitting challenges and how to diagnose and fix them. Occlusion, dome-vent selection, and elements of split-band directionality and mixing points are discussed.

The purpose of this course is to discuss recent research on hearing aids and how their benefits might be realized in real world situations. Several research articles will be discussed in depth, focusing on the study rationale, methodology, results, and clinical implications.

There is an association between hearing loss and cognitive decline, and hearing loss is also a risk factor for dementia. This course reviews the evidence that hearing loss causes dementia and treating hearing loss reduces the risk of dementia.

With the goal of helping hearing-aid users in difficult listening situations, Edge Mode+, an on-demand processing feature, was designed for Starkey hearing aids to provide additional signal processing to optimize listening experiences. This presentation will review the research studies that demonstrate the benefits of this app-based, on-demand processing feature on multiple measures of patient outcomes

This course examines the impact of hearing treatment in adults on aspects of overall health and well-being, with a particular focus on adults with hearing loss who are at risk for mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Through this course, we will illuminate the role of cognitive screening in audiology clinical practice and the ways in which cognitive screening can aid in clinical decision making and the treatment and rehabilitation process.
