Here are a few of the newest text courses available:

20Q: The Right-Ear Effect - Going Strong After Fifty Years!
Doreen Kimura, Ph.D. published research regarding the right-ear effect and dichotic testing fifty years ago that had a lasting effect on our knowledge of auditory processing and brain function. In this 20Q she talks about her early work and much of the research that followed. 20Q editor Gus Mueller, Ph.D. also invited three audiology legends - James Jerger, Jack Katz & Frank Musiek - in on the discussion. Read their commentary and insights into Dr. Kimura's fascinating work.
The Red Flag Matrix Hearing Aid Counseling Tool
Brian Taylor, Au.D. & Jill Bernstein, Au.D. put together a practical tool that integrates QuickSIN and ANL results and can be used in the hearing aid selection and counseling process to identify patients who might be at-risk for non-use or poor benefit with hearing aids.
The Auditory Brain: Conversations for Pediatric Audiologists Carol Flexer, Ph.D. passionately reminds us that pediatric hearing loss is not simply about ears and hearing - it's about brain development and brain functioning. She helps us examine how we counsel and educate so that we can have even more impact on outcomes for the children we serve and their families.
