CEU Courses

2-hour HIV course re-record with Topcat

This presentation will cover the importance of and scientific foundation behind clinical masking. The presenter will emphasize rules for when to mask, as well as common procedures used, with the provision of case scenarios throughout.

Run through with Drs. Jackson, Kubli and Ms Picon

This webinar will review the objective measurements of immittance audiometry for both new and experienced clinicians in order to support best practices.

This presentation will describe best practices in pure-tone audiometry to ensure that results are valid. Further, the audience will learn important interpretation principles including determination of type, magnitude, configuration and symmetry of hearing loss.This course is recommended for students or for professionals returning to clinical work after an absence who would like a review of best practices in pure tone audiometry.

This will be a slide presentation showing otoscopy photos of the ear, to review normal otoscopic ear anatomy, as well as several common and some uncommon pathologies of the ear as identified otoscopically. (NOTE: for the first 10 minutes there is poor sound quality although the presenter is intelligible, and the quality is corrected at the 10 minute mark).

Screening classrooms to determine if they are in need of more comprehensive evaluations requires equipment often unavailable to the audiologist. This presentation will demonstrate how one smartphone acoustic app might be used for screening and make basic measurement technology available to nearly anyone.

Margolis (2004) and Martin (1990) suggested that retention of audiological information that is presented orally only is limited at best (less than 50%). Of the information that is retained, up to half may be inaccurate. This session will discuss simple, efficient counseling techniques that audiologists can use to improve what patients remember and increase the likelihood that they will follow through with recommendations. The results of a university study assessing one clinical tool designed to improve patient retention will be presented.
