The Use of Cortical Auditory Evoked Potentials to Assist in the Management of Infants with Sensorineural Hearing Loss and ANSD, presented in partnership with Seminars in Hearing
Course: #29092Level: Advanced 1 Hour 176 Reviews
This course describes how cortical auditory evoked potentials (CAEPs) are being used in clinical practice to assist with the fitting of hearing aids in young infants. Content will include research behind the choice of test protocols, benefits and limitations, and clinical case examples, including results seen for infants with auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder, (ANSD).
Please note: You may earn ABA Tier 1 credits for this course if you complete it as part of the course 29288, "Current topics in CAEPs." Course 29288 contains recordings of all three events from our series on Cortical Auditory Evoked Potentials (CAEPs). ABA Tier 1 CEUs can be earned only when all modules are completed as part of course 29288.
