Hearing Aids Children CEU Courses

Phonak has been committed to providing hearing solutions for those 0-18 years of age for over 50 years. In this one-hour session, we will review the science behind Sky Lumity from the outside in, including research supporting specific solutions for babies, children, teens, and young adults.

This pediatric grand rounds presentation presents case studies of six patients with hearing concerns. Collaboration, evidence-based practice, and innovation are used to obtain the best outcomes.

This Grand Rounds session features audiologists and speech pathologists who specialize in diagnosing and managing pediatric patients. During this course, a panel of speech and audiology professionals shares 5 clinically applicable cases that helped them grow and innovate their clinical practice. The importance of evidence-based care is highlighted to achieve the best outcomes for pediatric patients.

This two-part online series will emphasize the key role of parents in fostering language in children who are deaf and hearing. With the implementation of newborn hearing screening and accepted practice that state early intervention agencies complete diagnosis and initiate services (including fitting amplification) for children with congenital hearing loss by six months of age, we now recognize the “power of parents.” The role of professionals has shifted from professionals working with the child to supporting the entire family unit in utilizing the language of the home and heart—whether that language is English, Spanish, ASL or another. These two sessions will explore how to fully support parents in language learning for their children with hearing loss.

In this session, Dr. Dana Suskind discusses how artificial intelligence, machine learning, and other emerging technologies can be used to better understand and, thus, optimize the role that parents play in promoting early language and cognitive development in children with hearing loss and children with typical hearing. Dr. Suskind covers the existing literature on foundational brain development and language skill acquisition, with an emphasis on the crucial role that parents and caregivers play in this process. She also identifies gaps in our collective knowledge on this topic and explains how technology can help fill those gaps. Finally, she shares several examples of tools being developed at the University of Chicago's TMW Center for Early Learning + Public Health that will help individual parents boost their children’s foundational development—and also allow society to better support all parents in this essential task.

This webinar is for audiologists, pediatric healthcare practitioners, and those interested in pediatric audiology. Dr. Alida Naudé will discuss optimizing hearing aid fittings for children using Real Ear Measures (REM), covering the importance and impact of REMs on fittings. Challenges in pediatric audiology will also be addressed, along with effective resolution strategies.

Learn about the different types of connectivity and how to integrate hearing devices with video game systems, educational tools, and a variety of accessories. This course discusses how to counsel/instruct patients to pair and use their devices with more than a phone.

Conversations shine with Lumity technology, designed with SmartSpeech Technology to all patients of all ages and degrees of hearing loss to live a life without limitations. Join this session as we review our portfolio of solutions for children from birth through young adulthood.

This pediatric grand rounds presentation presents the unique characteristics of six pediatric patients with hearing loss. Out of the box thinking and collaboration are tools used to achieve best outcomes.

This course delves into the challenges of identifying hearing loss in young children and introduces an artificial intelligence (AI)-based method for distinguishing speech characteristics in children with and without hearing loss, potentially enhancing screening effectiveness. Additionally, it explores the validation of AI methods to enhance speech intelligibility assessment in children. Furthermore, NALguide, a user-friendly tool from the National Acoustic Laboratories, simplifies the understanding of hearing aid features, making it accessible to both clinicians and patients and promoting informed discussions about hearing aid technologies.
