This webinar aims to demonstrate that maximum conductive hearing loss can feasibly exceed 105 dB. \nLearning Outcomes: \n1. Describe why maximum conductive hearing loss has been accepted as being at best 60 dB for decades. \n2. Explain how interaural attenuation and maximum conductive hearing loss are related. \n3. Describe how maximum conductive hearing loss can feasibly be upwards of 105 dB. \n4. Summarize the implications of maximum conductive hearing loss being transducer-dependent. \nRegister Now URL:https://www.audiology.org/event/maximum-conductive-hearing-loss-revisited/ LOCATION:Virtual ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.audiology.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/shutterstock_2259542283-header.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20241016T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20241016T140000 DTSTAMP:20241114T013747 CREATED:20240626T135655Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240626T140051Z UID:99262-1729083600-1729087200@www.audiology.org SUMMARY:Enhancing Communication with Diverse and Underserved Patients DESCRIPTION:Presenters: Laura Gaeta\, PhD \nCEUs: 0.1 AAA / Tier 1 \nDuration: 60 minutes \nInstructional Level: Intermediate \nProgram Focus: Knowledge \nDescription: \nThis webinar will introduce concepts related to cultural competence and cover cultural and linguistic variables identified in underrepresented populations.

Identify variables that may impact access to and utilization of audiology services. \n3. Give examples of how to increase readability and understanding when working with linguistically and culturally diverse populations. \nRegister Now URL:https://www.audiology.org/event/enhancing-communication-with-diverse-and-underserved-patients/ LOCATION:Virtual ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.audiology.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/shutterstock_2210720233-header.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20241024T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20241024T153000 DTSTAMP:20241114T013747 CREATED:20240618T202956Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241104T201844Z UID:98150-1729764000-1729783800@www.audiology.org SUMMARY:Academy Research Conference 2024: Advances in Implantable Devices DESCRIPTION:Now Available On-Demand!\nDid you miss the live event held on October 24\, 2024?

For children with congenital hearing loss\, a two-decade delay for data-driven advancements in diagnostic and habilitative audiological practices can have devastating effects on auditory\, speech\, language\, academic\, and social development. Adults with hearing loss also are at risk for impaired communication\, social isolation\, educational and vocational barriers\, dementia\, and poor quality of life. Since auditory implantable technology is rapidly advancing\, and candidacy indications are both expanding and overlapping\, attempting to stay up-to-date on the literature becomes a part-time job\, which is particularly difficult for full-time clinicians. \nThe 2024 Virtual Academy Research Conference (ARC) will bring together the latest discovery in auditory implantable technology from an esteemed group of clinician-scientists in audiology and otology. We will be covering topics including advances in auditory implant surgery\, asymmetrically driven neuroplasticity for bimodal and sequential bilateral cochlear implant (CI) recipients\, the role of genetics in clinical decision-making for candidacy determination and recommended intervention\, totally implantable technology\, single-sided deafness (SSD)\, highly asymmetric hearing losses\, and much more. \nProgram\n\nMorning Session 10:00 am–12:30 pm ET\nAfternoon Session 1:00–3:30 pm ET\nCEUs:\n.25 Tier 1 CEUs for morning or afternoon session\n.5 Tier 1 CEUs for full-day program\n\nView Full Schedule \nRegistration\nAvailable for half-day\, full-day\, or on-demand only. \n\n\n\n\nCategory\nARC 2024 Fee\n\n\nMember Half-Day\n$89\n\n\nMember Full-Day\n$135\n\n\nNon-Member Half-Day\n$150\n\n\nNon-Member Full-Day\n$240\n\n\nStudent Half-Day\n$25\n\n\nStudent Full-Day\n$45\n\n\n\n\nFunding for this conference was made possible [in part] by 1R13DC020893-01 from National Institute of Deafness and Other Communication Disorders.
