This webinar will discuss the history of brief-tone bone-conduction auditory brainstem (ABR) research and its clinical applications today as an essential component of early diagnosis of hearing loss in infants. Methodology and interpretation of bone-conduction ABRs to estimate bone-conduction hearing thresholds will be discussed in detail and cases will be provided to illustrate the principles explained. This webinar will be open captioned.

Please note: You may earn ABA Tier 1 credits for this course if you complete it as part of the course 27885, "Auditory Evoked Responses for Infant Hearing Assessment Series". Course 27885 contains recordings of all three events from our 2016 series on Auditory Evoked Responses for Infant Hearing Assessment. ABA Tier 1 CEUs can be earned only when all modules are completed as part of course 27885.

Susan Small
PhD

Update 2022: Dr. Small passed away on January 11, 2022. AudiologyOnline is grateful for her contributions to our course library and extends its deepest condolences to her colleagues and family.

Susan Small is the Hamber Professor of Clinical Audiology and the Director of the Pediatric Audiology Laboratory at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada. Dr. Small is also a clinical audiologist with experience working with patients of all ages. Research in the Pediatric Audiology Laboratory focuses on furthering our understanding of the maturation of hearing through investigations of peripheral and central auditory processing in infancy and early childhood. One of her research areas is the early diagnosis of hearing loss using brainstem auditory evoked potentials and behavioural measures to air- and bone-conducted stimuli. She is also interested in the clinical application of objective measures such as cortical auditory-evoked potentials (e.g., onset P2-N2 and acoustic change complex) to investigate speech detectability and discrimination in infants with sensory and neural hearing losses, By addressing gaps in our knowledge in these areas, Dr. Small hopes to improve early diagnosis and management of hearing loss.

Presenter Disclosure: Financial: Susan Small is employed by the University of British Columbia, where she conducts research. She received an honorarium for presenting this course. Non-financial: Susan Small has no non-financial relationships to disclose.
