Noise-Induced Hearing Disorders: Hidden and Not-So-Hidden Injuries, in partnership with American Auditory Society
AudiologyOnline CEU courses
Presented by Colleen Le Prell, PhD
Recorded Webinar
Course: #39210Level: Intermediate1 Hour
This course reviews patterns of noise-induced cell death, changes in sound evoked hair cell and neuron response, and functional deficits, including both threshold shift and deficits “beyond the audiogram.” As investigational inner ear medicines enter clinical testing for possible prevention of cochlear injury or cochlear regeneration indications, reliable diagnostic metrics for specific cell and nerve injuries are becoming increasingly important.

20Q: Occupational Audiometry
AudiologyOnline CEU courses
Presented by Deanna Meinke, PhD, CCC-A
Text/Transcript
Course: #38504Level: Intermediate1.5 Hours
Audiologists perform and review audiograms for many types of employers. This requires a fundamental understanding of the differences between regulatory agencies and best practices in the context of hearing threshold shifts, age corrections and baseline revisions. This course will advance your knowledge in occupational audiology and link you to many resources.

Beyond Audibility – Diverse Cochlear Pathophysiology Profiles in SNHL, presented in partnership with the University of Pittsburgh
AudiologyOnline CEU courses
Presented by Hari Bharadwaj, PhD, Samantha Hauser, AuD
Recorded Webinar
Course: #38626Level: Advanced1 Hour
This course discusses two recently recognized components of sensorineural hearing loss that can challenge speech understanding in noise despite normal or restored audibility, and contribute to divergent listening outcomes among patients with similar audiograms. The diversity of possible cochlear pathophysiology profiles that can occur under the common umbrella of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) highlights the need for precision diagnostic tools that can guide further individualization of hearing devices, and improve the specificity of candidacy evaluations for pharmacological interventions that are on the horizon.

New Approaches to Early Identification of Hearing Loss
Signia CEU courses
Presented by Brian Taylor, AuD, Lina Motlagh Zadeh, PhD
Audio
Course: #38142Level: Intermediate0.5 Hours
Recent reports suggest that 12 to 15% of adults have self-reported hearing difficulties and normal pure tone audiograms. This suggests that the traditional pure tone audiogram is a relatively poor indicator of functional communication difficulties. In this podcast, Lina Zadeh, PhD, discusses how extended-high frequency audiometry, distortion-product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) and the Digits-in-Noise (DIN) test can be used clinically to identify hidden hearing loss. She also explores effective management strategies for those identified with this condition.

20Q: Extended High Frequency Hearing Loss - Translating Science into Clinical Practice
AudiologyOnline CEU courses
Presented by Srikanta Mishra, PhD, CCC-A
Text/Transcript
Course: #37590Level: Intermediate1 Hour
Hearing impairment in the extended high frequencies (EHFs) can occur in the presence of a normal audiogram. This 20Q reviews the current knowledge on EHF hearing impairment and the usefulness of EHF audiometry in the clinic.

Auditory Wellness: What Clinicians Need to Know
Signia CEU courses
Presented by Brian Taylor, AuD, Barbara Weinstein, PhD
Audio
Course: #36608Level: Intermediate0.5 Hours
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.

Don’t Miss the Point! The Importance of Detecting Hidden Audiogram Notches
AudiologyOnline CEU courses
Presented by Kate Dunckley, PhD, Mark Partain, AuD
Recorded Webinar
Course: #35635Level: Introductory1 Hour
Despite ASHA best practices including 3 and 6 kHz, these frequencies are often skipped during routine pure-tone testing. This course reviews why inclusion of these frequencies is considered best practice and presents clinical cases where significant notches went undetected in both children and adults.**Please note the live webinar is 4pm ET / 1 pm PT**

20Q: Cochlear Synaptopathy - Interrupting Communication from Ear to Brain
AudiologyOnline CEU courses
Presented by Sharon G. Kujawa, PhD
Text/Transcript
Course: #29821Level: Advanced2 Hours
New insights from animal studies of noise-induced and age-related hearing loss suggest that the most vulnerable elements in the inner ear are the synaptic connections between the sensory inner hair cells (IHCs) and the afferent neurons that communicate the information they receive to higher centers. When less than total, IHC synapse loss does not elevate thresholds. This means that it can be widespread in ears with intact hair cell populations and normal audiograms, where it has been called “hidden hearing loss”. Cochlear synapse loss is a likely contributor to difficulties understanding speech in a noisy environment and may be an instigating factor in the generation of tinnitus and hyperacusis, even when thresholds are normal. Beyond noise and aging, cochlear synaptopathy may be widespread in acquired sensorineural hearing loss of other etiologies and degrees of hair cell damage and loss. Normal thresholds or not, this loss of IHC – neural communication is expected to have significant perceptual consequences.

Back to Basics: Pure Tone Testing and Audiogram Interpretation
AudiologyOnline CEU courses
Presented by L. Maureen Valente, PhD
Recorded Webinar
Course: #22838Level: Introductory1 Hour
No CEUs/Hours Offered
This presentation will describe best practices in pure-tone audiometry to ensure that results are valid. Further, the audience will learn important interpretation principles including determination of type, magnitude, configuration and symmetry of hearing loss.This course is recommended for students or for professionals returning to clinical work after an absence who would like a review of best practices in pure tone audiometry.
