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? You can still register for the on-demand content! \nRegister for On-Demand \nChair\nRené H. Gifford\, PhD\nFred H. Bess Chair in Audiology\, Professor\, and Director\, Hearing and Speech Sciences\, Implantables\, Hearing Enhancement\, and Amplification Research (I HEAR) Laboratory Vanderbilt University Medical Center \nProgram Committee\n\nCamille Dunn-Johnson\, PhD\nAssociate Professor and Director of the Cochlear Implant Program\, University of Iowa\nMichelle Hughes\, PhD\nProfessor and Director of the Cochlear Implant Research Lab\, University of Nebraska\, Lincoln\nJamie Bogle\, AuD\, PhD\nPrincipal Investigator\, ARC Grant\, Chair\, Division of Audiology and Assistant Professor\, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine Science\n\nConference Overview\nThere’s a 17- to 25-year gap between scientific discovery and clinical adoption of new and effective interventions. 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.

SUMMARY:Animal Audiology: Something New Is Brewing
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Peter M. Skip Scheifele\, PhD \nCEUs: 0.1 AAA \nDuration: 60 minutes \nInstructional Level: Intermediate \nProgram Focus: Knowledge \nDescription: \nConstant noise can have physiological and psychological effects in several nonhuman species. However\, few investigations have focused specifically on the deleterious effects of environmental noise on the auditory system in dogs. Whether constant noise can affect dogs\, particularly working dogs that are relied upon for their enhanced sensory capabilities (e.g. those used in military and law enforcement operations or search and rescue)\, is important to determine and the conditions or environments that can impair these sensory capabilities need to be well understood. \nAs a result of the number of cases of congenital deafness in dogs\, the veterinary and breeding communities have made an extensive effort to have puppies undergo auditory screening between the ages of five (5) to eight (8) weeks of age. The only acceptable audiological test for determining baseline hearing acuity is the brainstem auditory evoked response (BAER) test. BAER testing also can be used in diagnostic situations and as a baseline for establishing hearing acuity in dogs. \nMoreover\, although the BAER electrophysiological test is objective in its output (waveforms) the establishment of which peak on the resultant waveforms is subjective with the possible exception of Wave-V and the subsequent trough (VT) of Wave-V. This routine technique has been used with humans since 1967 and slowly introduced into the animal industry since the 1980s. \nOutside of congenital deafness\, noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is a big factor in kenneled dogs\, those transported in trucks and in helicopters and when exposed to gunfire and explosives. Most occupied kennels may have peak noise at 110 dB SPL and even require hearing protection of the handlers upon entering. The consequence of NIHL in any working dogs is a failure of the dog to properly behave to voice commands and to miss critical acoustic cues while working. \nLearning Outcomes:   \n1. Understand what animal audiology entails.\n2. Know what specific audiological tests are run on canines.\n3. Know what the OFA and AKC standards are for canine audiology. \nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:Understanding Metabolic Syndrome’s Relationship to Chronic Diseases Comorbid with Sensorineural Hearing Loss
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Victor Bray\, MSC\, PhD\, FNAP \nCEUs: 0.1 AAA \nDuration: 60 minutes \nInstructional Level: Intermediate \nProgram Focus: Knowledge \nDescription: \nIt is well established that several chronic diseases (a) are preceded by metabolic syndrome\, (b) are increasing in prevalence in the geriatric population\, and (c) associated with the increased odds ratio of sensorineural hearing loss. While much of our literature and communications have focused on the relationship between chronic diseases (e.g.\, cardiovascular disease\, chronic kidney disease\, and adult-onset diabetes) and hearing loss\, little attention has been given to the underlying cause of these chronic diseases: metabolic syndrome. It is essential that the audiologist understand\, for improved patient management\, the five contributors of metabolic syndrome and their relationship with hearing health. \nLearning Outcomes:   \n1. Recall the five contributors to metabolic syndrome.\n2. Understand the relationship of metabolic syndrome with chronic disease\, sensorineural hearing loss\, and sudden sensorineural hearing loss.\n3. Be able to apply knowledge of the relationship of metabolic syndrome with hearing loss to better communicate with medical professionals in the collaborative care of audiology patients with chronic diseases and counsel patients toward a healthy lifestyle. \nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:Case-Based Options for Coding Audiology Services
DESCRIPTION:Presenters:\nErin L. Miller\, AuD\nAnna M. Jilla\, AuD\, PhD\nAnnette A. Burton\, AuD \nCEUs: 0.15 AAA CEUs \nDuration: 90 minutes \nInstructional Level: Beginner \nProgram Focus: Knowledge \nDescription:\n \nCurrently\, many payers do not provide coverage to their beneficiaries for all services within audiology’s scope of practice. Some payers only cover medically necessary hearing and balance assessment services with no coverage provision for therapeutic services. Additionally\, most payers do not cover the assessment and management services performed by audiologists\, which are necessary for quality patient care. Audiologists must be knowledgeable of payer-specific policies for those with whom they contract and determine if their reimbursement covers the cost of providing the service. This session will discuss case-based coding/payment options for audiologists to consider when providing non-covered audiology services. \nLearning Outcomes: \n1. Describe alternatives for coding of audiology services that fall outside of those currently defined by the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT)™ code set.\n2. Identify ethical and legal options to code for non-covered audiology services.\n3. Summarize how coding for non-covered audiology services can elevate the value of audiology services to consumers. \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Using Malpractice Claim Data to Identify Risks in Audiology Practice
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Jennifer Flynn\, CPHRM \nCEUs: 0.1 AAA CEUs \nDuration: 60 minutes \nInstructional Level: Beginner \nProgram Focus: Knowledge \nThis session will address audiologists’ most common professional liability concerns\, including emerging risks and ways that audiologists can protect themselves from liability exposures. Utilizing HPSO/CNA’s database of audiology closed professional liability claims\, we can identify liability patterns and trends\, we can highlight adverse events that resulted in financial loss or expenses\, and we focus on the types of situations most likely to have serious adverse consequences for patients and create liability exposures for audiologists. Using this information\, audiologists can examine their own current practices in relation to the claims and losses experienced by their peers. \nLearning Outcomes:  \n1. Identify three top malpractice allegations made against audiologists in malpractice lawsuits.\n2. Define total incurred amounts to defend audiologists in malpractice lawsuits.\n3. Identify key risk management tools that audiologists can incorporate into their practices to help improve patient safety\, enhance quality of care\, and reduce risk and error. \nRegister Now
