CEU Courses

This course will provide information about social work as a profession and the potential collaboration between the social work and audiological disciplines. This course will use case vignettes to discuss the reciprocal nature that exists between behavioral difficulties, family dynamics, and concerns about hearing.

This course provides a discussion of common acoustics terms, principles and phenomena and their relationship to audiology clinical practice, in an engaging Q & A format.

This course will cover an introduction to pharmacology, including pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics basic principles. The course will also include information on the mechanisms of action behind known/suspected ototoxic agents.

This course will discuss the symptoms and pathophysiology of superior semicircular canal dehiscence. Emphasis will be placed on the audiometric profiles of patients with superior semicircular canal dehiscence.

This course discusses preschool hearing screening in an engaging Q & A format. Topics covered include: universal newborn screening, and why some children are not screened or lost to follow up; types of assessments for preschool hearing screenings; evidence-based protocols for preschool hearing screening and follow up.

Please note: You may earn ABA Tier 1 credits for this course if you complete it as part of the course 29608, "Audiological Test Battery Series." Course 29608 contains recordings of all three events from our 2017 series on Audiological Test Batteries. ABA Tier 1 CEUs can be earned only when all modules are completed as part of course 29608.

This 3 hour webinar reviews the cortical auditory evoked potential (CAEP) in adults, children and infants. It describes the use of the N1-P2 response complex as an objective predictor of hearing threshold in adults and older children. It discusses the relationship between audibility of speech sounds and the presence of CAEPs in infants and children with hearing loss using amplification. Additionally, it describes how CAEPs are being used in clinical practice to assist with fitting of hearing aids in young infants. Clinical case studies and examples are provided. This webinar is presented in partnership with Seminars in Hearing.

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).

This presentation will provide information about the 2016 interprofessional collaborative standards, literature of evidence of best practice strategies and case examples of IPE and IPP. It will review interprofessional competencies and various ways to assess them in the academic and/or clinical settings.

This engaging Q & A discussion looks at recreational firearm use and the risk of hearing loss. Topics covered include who may be at risk for hearing loss from leisure shooting activities, measures of noise from firearms, strategies to reduce risk of hearing loss in shooters, considerations for fitting hearing protection devices, and highlights of key research in this area.

In order to reduce lost to follow up and accurately monitor hearing in infants and older children who are unable to complete behavioral hearing evaluations, it is critical that the diagnostic ABR be completed efficiently and accurately. This can be confounded by difficult test environments and poor infant sleep state. This presentation will discuss difficult test environments/populations and options for ABR protocols, equipment characteristics, sedation/anesthesia options and strategies which can be utilized to optimize the ABR evaluation.
