LLL stands for LifeLong Learner, and it's defined as the "lifelong, voluntary, and self-motivated pursuit of knowledge for either personal or professional reasons." In addition to enhancing personal and professional development, lifelong learning enhances social inclusion, competitiveness and employability (Wikipedia).
Are you a lifelong learner? Take our simple quiz.
- Have you ever registered for an online course, just because it sounded interesting?
- If you could cash in your CEUs for dollars, would you have earned enough last year to buy a small country?
- While colleagues stand around the water cooler discussing that new cutie on America's Got Talent, do you pipe in, "Talk about talent - how about Guy Lightfoot, Ph.D., author of that great article on AudiologyOnline about the N1-P2 Cortical Auditory Evoked Potential for threshold estimation? Now that's talent!"
- Do you wish there were a World Series of CEUs, because you're quite sure you would win the series, or at least the pennant?
- Has anyone ever said to you, "Taking another course? Don't you have enough degrees?"
With hundreds of CEU courses available 24/7 on AudiologyOnline, we are excited to have you. Here are a few of our latest CEU articles:
Earmolds and More: Maximizing Patient Satisfaction by Micheal West of Westone Laboratories. Michael does a great job of outlining the latest on earmold styles and materials, including new custom options for slim tube and and receiver-in-canal devices. He covers selection, fitting, modification and more and provides excellent photos to enhance understanding.
N1-P2 Cortical Auditory Evoked Potential in Threshold Estimation by Guy Lightfoot, Ph.D. reviews the advantages and disadvantages of using the N1-P2 complex to estimate hearing sensitivity. This comprehensive article focuses on clinical utility and gives case study examples.
In addition to our articles, there is plenty of new information in our interviews, including a new soundfield system from Phonak, and the latest on Mercury Free batteries from none other than the experts at Rayovac. As its name implies, our Ask the Expert column features info on a variety of pertinent topics from leading experts. See the links to the right of this enewsletter for the latest.
As we're now planning next year's continuing education curriculum, we'd love to hear from you. Please let us know the topics, presenters and authors you'd like to have on AudiologyOnline, and how we can best meet your lifelong learning needs.
Thanks for reading!
