As most hearing care professionals know, the functional capabilities of individuals with hearing loss are defined by more than the audiogram. Many of these functional capabilities fall under the rubric, auditory wellness. This podcast will be a discussion between Brian Taylor of Signia and his guest, Barbara Weinstein, professor of audiology at City University of New York. They will outline the concept of auditory wellness, how it can be measured clinically and how properly fitted hearing aids have the potential to improve auditory wellness.

Patients deserve the best hearing possible and also the best care possible. Starkey’s Hearing Care Anywhere Live Sessions synchronous remote programming feature allows clinicians to easily and quickly provide hearing aid adjustments via video chat without the need for a face-to-face meeting. This course will focus on how to setup and use Hearing Care Anywhere Live Sessions to best serve patients in this unprecedented time and will also outline the many benefits remote programming provides to both patients and clinicians.

The Cochlear Case Studies series is designed to provide professionals with a deeper knowledge and insight about cochlear implants through the use of case studies. In this session, we will hear from Meghan Nemeth, AuD who will share a case and provide information about supporting bimodal and bilateral device use in young children.

In the second part of this two-part series, attendees will be introduced to the concept of health economics, and its importance in determining how to improve health outcomes and lifestyle patterns through interactions among individuals, providers, and clinical settings.

Recently, traditional hearing aids have converged with consumer audio devices to create a new category of products, commonly referred to as hybrid devices. These devices offer persons with hearing difficulties the opportunity to improve communication and health-related quality of life outcomes at a younger age when hearing loss is often of a milder degree. To fully realize the benefits of hybrid devices, however, it is essential for clinicians to understand the link between self-reported hearing difficulties, subclinical hearing loss and their impact on health-related quality of life. This course will review the relationship between self-reported hearing difficulties, contrast it with objective hearing loss of adult-onset, discuss its consequences on health-related quality of life and reviewed how hybrid devices can be employed clinically as an early intervention strategy.

Teleaudiology is no longer a future concept. It’s in practice today and can help motivate patients to seek hearing healthcare and pursue solutions for addressing communication challenges imposed by hearing loss. Hearing aid consultations, fittings, and fine-tuning/troubleshooting are all possible with remote interactions that do not require physical presence. TeleHear is a successful teleaudiology service which provides online consultations with patients and clinics across the United States to review treatment recommendations and follow-up care for those with hearing loss. This final segment of Starkey’s Telehealth Series will share valuable lessons learned by the TeleHear team on how to implement teleaudiology in your practice to benefit you and your patients.
