BrainHearing and Bone Anchored Devices: Why More Output Matters to All Users
Course: #41592Level: Advanced 1 Hour 67 Reviews
This course will present the scientific basis for BrainHearing and how that relates to the Ponto family and bone anchored hearing devices in general. We strongly believe that a higher maximum output should be one of the most important decision factors for patients, and will discuss how different user groups will benefit from this.
Learning Outcomes
- After the course, participants will be able to explain why listening is more effortful for those with hearing loss.
- After the course, participants will be able to describe a few different ways of measuring the effort used to understand speech, and why this is relevant for real life situations.
- After the course, participants will be able to discuss the limitations of maximum output of bone anchored devices, and how this affects different users of these devices.
