Recorded WebinarLive WebinarMon, Dec 23, 2024 at 12:00 pm EST
Course: #39028Level: Introductory1 Hour
Cognition as it relates to hearing loss has been an important topic of discussion for the last decade. In this course, hearing care providers will learn about the foundations of cognition and hearing loss, and how to proactively address hearing loss and promote healthy living as a way to possibly mitigate cognitive decline and positively impact the overall well-being of their clients.

Cognition and Hearing Health: A Call to Action, and How We Can Help Our Patients
ReSound CEU courses
Presented by Tammy Stender, AuD
Live WebinarFri, Feb 7, 2025 at 3:00 pm EST
Course: #40194Level: Intermediate0.5 Hours
A recent article published in the Lancet journal in 2024 identified hearing loss, tied with high LDL cholesterol, as the largest modifiable risk factors for dementia. This TED-style course will provide participants with actionable ways to talk about these findings in the clinic, along with evidence-based hearing aid fitting tips for individuals with cognitive decline.

Breaking Barriers: Empowering Social Connections in Older Adults with Hearing Loss
Signia CEU courses
Presented by Brian Taylor, AuD
Live WebinarTue, Feb 11, 2025 at 12:00 pm EST
Course: #40197Level: Intermediate1 Hour
Hearing loss of gradual onset in older adults affects social connections. Breaking away from the impairment-driven model of hearing healthcare and focusing on a wellness-driven model, this course describes how hearing loss contributes to social disconnection, and how various empowerment strategies can be used clinically to improve the social and emotional well-being of these individuals.

20Q: Hearing Loss, Hearing Aids and Dementia - Don’t Let the Science be Hijacked by Hype
AudiologyOnline CEU courses
Presented by Kevin J. Munro, PhD, MSc, Piers Dawes, PhD
Text/Transcript
Course: #39571Level: Intermediate1 Hour
There is an association between hearing loss and cognitive decline, and hearing loss is also a risk factor for dementia. This course reviews the evidence that hearing loss causes dementia and treating hearing loss reduces the risk of dementia.

Variability in Hearing Aid Outcomes and the Role of Mild Cognitive Impairment
AudiologyOnline CEU courses
Presented by Hannah Glick, AuD, PhD, CCC-A
Recorded Webinar
Course: #39581Level: Advanced1 Hour
This course examines the impact of hearing treatment in adults on aspects of overall health and well-being, with a particular focus on adults with hearing loss who are at risk for mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Through this course, we will illuminate the role of cognitive screening in audiology clinical practice and the ways in which cognitive screening can aid in clinical decision making and the treatment and rehabilitation process.

Artificial Intelligence in the Balance: Edge AI Innovations in Balance Assessment and Fall Detection
Starkey CEU courses
Presented by Michele Hurley, AuD, FAAA
Live WebinarFri, Feb 14, 2025 at 12:00 pm EST
Course: #40224Level: Intermediate0.5 Hours
A big part of the Edge AI ecosystem is the role of artificial intelligence in fall detection and now balance assessment, helping Edge AI wearers gain awareness of their balance, a key indicator in fall prevention. This course will review the hearing industry’s only fall alert and balance assessment tool, available in Starkey’s Edge AI technology.

Alzheimer's and Other Dementias: Overview for Healthcare Professionals
AudiologyOnline CEU courses
Presented by Megan L. Malone, MA, CCC-SLP
Recorded Webinar
Course: #42942Level: Introductory1 Hour
An overview for healthcare professionals about Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders is provided in this course. Characteristics of the dementias, such as symptoms, progression, and how they are diagnosed, are described. Care planning strategies for improving communication with patients and families, understanding and managing behavioral challenges, and promoting independence are also discussed.

20Q: Changes to Auditory Processing and Cognition During Normal Aging – Should it Affect Hearing Aid Programming? Part 2 – Programming Hearing Aids for Older Adults
AudiologyOnline CEU courses
Presented by Richard Windle, PhD, MSc, CS
Text/Transcript
Course: #39168Level: Advanced2.5 Hours
Part 1 discussed how a decline in some elements of cognition and auditory processing alters speech perception during normal aging. This course considers how hearing aids may help or hinder speech perception for older adults. The author discusses how different hearing aid settings can affect the speech signal and consider practical ways we can use this in the clinic to offer the optimum fitting for an individual, in particular how we should set up hearing aid compression.

What’s New About Getting Old? The Implications of Normal Aging for Hearing Healthcare Providers and Hearing Aid Manufacturers
Signia CEU courses
Presented by Brian Taylor, AuD
Recorded Webinar
Course: #39253Level: Advanced1 Hour
As tens of millions of Americans are living longer lives, longevity is creating challenges for everyone, including hearing healthcare providers and their manufacturing partners. Centered on the human need to connect with others, this course addresses three components of hearing care: 1.) the specific communication challenges of the normal-aging population, 2.) how hearing healthcare providers can more effectively address the communication and quality of life needs of this group by using three clinical tools that meet the A-B-C criteria, and 3.) how manufacturers can engineer devices that leverage recent findings on the dynamics of group conversations.

20Q: Changes to Auditory Processing and Cognition During Normal Aging – Should it Affect Hearing Aid Programming? Part 1 – Changes Associated with Normal Aging
AudiologyOnline CEU courses
Presented by Richard Windle, PhD, MSc, CS
Text/Transcript
Course: #39167Level: Advanced2.5 Hours
Many aspects of cognition and auditory processing decline with normal aging, and this makes it difficult to hear in challenging situations, even without the additional problems caused by peripheral hearing loss. There is a huge amount of literature about hearing and aging. This course summarizes relevant findings and discusses the processes of normal aging that particularly affect speech perception.
