It’s Time for More NEW
Kelly Stahl, AuD
Sound scenes are dynamic, complex and unpredictable. It’s the role of the brain to handle this complexity and make sense of it all. Taking our revolutionary BrainHearing™ technologies to the next level, we created a hearing aid that works more like how the brain works. In this course we will explore the practical product details and patient benefits of our newest product family Oticon More™.
The Audiology of Oticon More™ NEW
Don Schum, PhD
Oticon has long distinguished itself in creating cutting edge solutions for the most difficult problems faced by persons with hearing impairment. With the release of Oticon More, we are again introducing new approaches to allow for the highest levels of performance for users. In this course, we will describe the design and performance of our new core features, MoreSound Intelligence™ and MoreSound Amplifier™.
Navigating Genie Software - Fitting and Fine Tuning NEW
Chalese Buttars, AuD
Being able to efficiently and effectively program instruments is an integral part of the fitting process. In this course, the step-by-step process with Genie fitting software will be reviewed. Additional fitting tools available in the software to assist with fine tuning and customizing the fitting will also be shown.
Measuring the Effect of a Hearing Aid
Don Schum, PhD
Our field has developed a variety of standardized approaches to measure the effect of a hearing aid fitting. But in many cases, these audiologically measured outcomes do not necessarily correlate with the patient’s overall assessment of the value of the fitting. This course is designed to take a patient‑oriented approach to defining the effects of fittings.
Personal Protection Equipment and Students with Hearing Loss
Dave Gordey, PhD
Children with hearing loss returning to school may encounter teachers and other school‑based professionals who will be using personal protective equipment (PPE). This webinar will share data on the effect of different PPE on audibility for students with hearing loss.
The Aging Perceptual System
Don Schum, PhD
The majority of hearing aid users are older adults and, thus, it is incumbent to understand the nature of their perceptual difficulties. In this seminar, the effects of aging in combination with hearing loss on spoken language understanding will be examined.
Our Evolving Understanding of the Reaction to Aging
Don Schum, PhD
As our main target audience for hearing care shifts into the Baby Boom generation, so should our understanding of how these individuals view the aging process. The well‑known attitudes and behaviors of this new generation of seniors will inevitably affect how they respond to developing communication difficulties.
