Monthly Review - Gus Mueller is Really a Speech Pathologist

You may have only opened this email to understand the meaning of the subject line. I assure you, it has no relation to any prank that Dr. Mueller may have played on me with my mobile phone a few months ago. For the record, Speech Pathologists are awesome! No, it's simply that we have some great content this month with Dr. Mueller in addition to other contributors and I wanted to get your attention - so read on!

A Comparison of Three Pre-Fitting Speech Tests

I might suggest to Dr. Mueller that quickly articulating the title of this article would be an interesting oral motor exam, and question if he really is a speech pathologist at heart. He would argue that the article that he and Drs. Earl Johnson and Jennifer Weber have written provides a useful discussion on the following question: "Do we have evidence to support the use of various pre-hearing aid fitting tests or do they all basically give us the same information?". Read more in their article Fitting Hearing Aids: A Comparison of Three Pre-Fitting Speech Tests.

Amplified Stethoscopes

A.U. Bankaitis, Vice President of Oaktree Products, gives a practical overview of the options for our patients with hearing loss who need to use a stethoscope in her article aptly titled Amplified Stethoscope Options for Professionals with Hearing Loss. She discusses various patients' needs from amount of amplification required, to taking into account the style and type of hearing aids they may be wearing. This straightforward piece includes some great photos of what's available.

Tinnitus Evaluation Software

Dr. Holmes details the development of a tinnitus evaluation software program that complies with the criteria set fort in CPT code 92625. Read more in his article Development of a Tinnitus Evaluation Software Program.
