Current Topics in CAEPs, presented in partnership with Seminars in Hearing
Course: #29288Level: Advanced 3 Hours 74 Reviews
This 3 hour webinar reviews the cortical auditory evoked potential (CAEP) in adults, children and infants. It describes the use of the N1-P2 response complex as an objective predictor of hearing threshold in adults and older children. It discusses the relationship between audibility of speech sounds and the presence of CAEPs in infants and children with hearing loss using amplification. Additionally, it describes how CAEPs are being used in clinical practice to assist with fitting of hearing aids in young infants. Clinical case studies and examples are provided. This webinar is presented in partnership with Seminars in Hearing.

Learning Outcomes
- After this course, participants will be able to describe the clinical uses and limitations of the N1-P2 cortical auditory evoked potential including stimulus and recording parameters and the effects of hearing aid gain on the CAEP amplitude.
- After this course, learners will be able to describe how CAEPs and audibility relate to each other and describe clinical applications of CAEPs for hearing aid evaluations and hearing aid adjustments.
- After this course, learners will be able to describe the benefits, limitations and complementary nature of CAEP testing when used to help manage infants with hearing loss.
