The American Academy of Audiology recently published a clinical consensus statement on pediatric vestibular assessment to serve as a guide for assessing vestibular function in the pediatric population. The purpose of this presentation is to review content provided within the guide. Test considerations and interpretation of appropriate bedside assessment techniques, vestibular evoked myogenic potential, video head impulse, videonystagmography, rotary chair and various pediatric questionnaires will be reviewed.

Audiology often involves ethical dilemmas that challenge clinicians to navigate between competing values and principles.

Single-sided deafness (SSD) poses unique challenges to both the patient and the managing audiologist as SSD negatively impacts the ability to localize sound as well as speech understanding, especially in the presence of background noise. Clinical recommendations may be inconsistent as there is not a definitive best practice for the audiologic management of SSD so this presentation will review patients across the lifespan who pursued each treatment option and experienced varying outcomes.

This presentation focuses on the audiologic, genetic, radiologic, vestibular, and surgical results of a 10-year-old girl with previously unidentified SSCD. Interprofessional collaboration and how to best assist these children in and out of the classroom with their hearing, technology, and symptoms of the dehiscence will be emphasized.

This webinar provides audiologists with information about considerations when working with Spanish-speaking adult patients with hearing loss. It will discuss assessment procedures, health literacy concerns, and the inclusion of interpreters in the clinical setting. Recommendations for culturally and linguistically appropriate communication and service provisions with this population will also be given. The focus will be on audiologists who experience a language barrier or mismatch with their Spanish-speaking patients.

In a four-part discussion series, the Academy will address the range of incivilities and microaggressions that audiologists and students may experience in their various practice and education settings. The series will give voice to real experiences while offering practical tools and strategies within each discussion to help move the profession holistically toward committing to cultural humility in practice. Part one of the series will provide an overview of microaggressions and the framework of cultural humility, as well as begin to introduce strategies within the context of individual stories.

This course is presented by members and a former member of the Academy’s Ethical Practices Committee (EPC). They review current ethical topics related to the audiology profession.
