Hearing loss is known to coincide with a host of health-related issues, including mental health. Audiologists need be able to identify when emotional and psychological well-being is at risk in both the patients we serve and their close family members, who also are affected by these diagnoses. This course reviews models for delivering difficult information, the signs of potential mental health crisis, and discuss how to handle conversations surrounding mental health. Didactic cases from across the lifespan will be presented to highlight themes and differences when working with different populations.

This session addresses audiologists’ most common professional liability concerns, including emerging risks and ways that audiologists can protect themselves from liability exposures. Utilizing HPSO/CNA’s database of audiology closed professional liability claims, we can identify liability patterns and trends, we can highlight adverse events that resulted in financial loss or expenses, and we focus on the types of situations most likely to have serious adverse consequences for patients and create liability exposures for audiologists. Using this information, audiologists can examine their own current practices in relation to the claims and losses experienced by their peers.
