Congratulations on becoming a newborn hearing screener!

Your role as a newborn hearing screener is vital to the hearing and speech development of your newborns. You are responsible for performing newborn hearing screening on all infants prior to discharge and are the front line of communication with new parents. Newborn hearing screening, although easy to learn, requires specific steps and training to ensure quality screening.

14apr4:00 pm5:00 pmCombined vestibular and cerebellar disease and the utility of VVOR and VORJoin this eseminar with Professor David Szmulewicz

Event Details

Course introduction:
An increasing number of conditions that involve vestibular and cerebellar impairment are continuing to be recognized. Specific oculomotor signs which are readily demonstrated in the clinical setting play an important role in the identification of these conditions and may facilitate disease diagnosis.

Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this eseminar the participants will be able to:

Be familiar with the more commonly occurring causes of combined vestibular and cerebellar disorders.
Be able to perform and interpret the oculomotor abnormalities seen in these diseases.
Incorporate these oculomotor signs into the overall assessment of the patient.
Be aware of the potential diagnostic pathways that may aid the clinician in reaching a specific diagnosis.

Event Details

Course introduction:
Every child is wonderfully unique. Sometimes pediatric audiologists may have to adapt to each child’s needs in order to get successful outcomes from their critical time in clinical assessments.

This short course will explore the strategies that can be implemented to gain the most from your Paediatric behavioral hearing assessment.

Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this eseminar the participants will be able to:

Understand how to prepare for a Paediatric behavioral hearing assessment.
Understand how to safely adapt their practice to meet the needs of individual Paediatric audiology patient.
Look at examples of tailored behavioral testing.

02may11:00 am12:00 pmUsing speech recognition in the selection and fitting of hearing aidsJoin this eseminar with Dr. H. Gustav Mueller

Event Details

Course introduction:
As recent as the 1970s, speech recognition testing was the primary method used to select the most appropriate hearing aid for a given patient. For the past 40 years, however, prescriptive fitting methods have emerged, and probe-mic measures are then in turn used for the verification of the fitting. While this approach is clearly more valid and reliable, there remains a role for speech recognition testing in the overall fitting process—in particular, the measure of speech understanding in background noise. In this course, we will review how speech-in-noise testing can be used to help determine candidacy, select hearing aid style and features, and to demonstrate to the patient hearing aid benefit. Additionally, we will review how these test results can be used in establishing realistic expectations and during post-fitting patient counseling.

Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this eseminar the participants will be able to:

Describe general procedures for conducting speech-in-noise testing.
Describe how to interpret the results of speech-in-noise testing.
Discuss how speech-in-noise test results can assist in determining candidacy.
Discuss how speech-in-noise test results can be used to demonstrate hearing aid benefit.
Discuss how speech-in-noise test results can be used during post-fitting counseling.

My favorite point the presenter made was that multiple layers of screening are to be avoided. Intuitively, re-screenings seem worthwhile because we expect the false positive rate to decrease, but as she points out the false negative rate will also increase. It's better to proceed with diagnostic testing once the baby fails a screening to keep the false negative rate as close to zero as possible. She didn't specifically address re-screens while the baby is still at the hospital, but I'm assuming she would endorse those, and they seem to be standard practice.

I used to ask my patients, have you fallen in the last year. Now, I will ask "Have you fallen in the last 6 months" as part of my case history.
