From the Editor: Putting You Virtually There

Well hello there! I am a pretty excitable guy, but I am really psyched about what we have going on over the next 30 days. I am not sure that there has ever been a time when we have so much to offer, here is a run down.

The Virtual Summit at Jackson

The Theme: What is Old is New Again! Take this opportunity to participate in a week's worth of LIVE presentations Monday, November 30th through Friday December 4th. You can sign up for some or all of the 13 hours of continuing education over 5 days! Topics include - Have Digital Hearing Aids Lived Up to Expectations? by Harry Levitt, Ph.D.;Combined Electric and Acoustic Stimulation by Michael Dorman, Ph.D.;Open Fitting Then and Now, by Jennifer Groth, M.A.;Non-linear Amplification for Severe Hearing Loss by Donald Schum, Ph.D.;Probe Microphone Measures, Then and Now, by Laurel Christensen, Ph.D. & Steve Hallenbeck, AuD;What is Old is New Again, by Michael Nilsson, Ph.D. These are just some of the presentations available. Click here to view the presentation schedule and to register for free. All CEUs available through the AudiologyOnline CEU Total Access program.

I would encourage you "non-early, hit the snooze bar 5 times, where is my %#$@ coffee?" type birds to register for your courses now as this is looking to be a very popular series of live events.

Special Fitting Approaches and Trainable Hearing Aids

This month, we have two feature articles, Standard Versus Special Fitting Approaches, by Donald Schum, Ph.D. and Listener Preferences and Trainable Hearing Aids: Historical Perspectives, Current Trends and Practical Considerations by Brian Taylor, Au.D. Both are CEU eligible, so take a look.

Take An Audiology "Vacation" to Ontario

As I mentioned last month, during November we have guest speakers from The National Centre for Audiology at the University of Western Ontario. Be sure to take a look at: Modified Verification Approaches for Frequency Lowering Devices by Danielle Glista, M.Sc., on November 11th - Register for the event at 12 Eastern or 12 Pacific. Clinician Fit-to-DSL Targets: Preliminary Results From a Network Study by Sheila T.F. Moodie, Research Audiologist, on November 18th - Register for the event at 12 Eastern or 12 Pacific.

Thanks!

As always, thank you so much for reading and participation. Please be sure to view our latest Interviews, Ask The Experts and News items to our right produced by our Managing Editor, Carolyn Smaka, Au.D. Also, our Associate Editor, Kristi Albers, takes us "Around the Web" for some interesting tidbits on how the rest of the world looks at audiology, hearing aids and hearing loss. This includes: audiology researchers feeling the love from stimulus dollars, ghosts love hearing aids, art for your ears and many more!
