PROGRAM SESSIONS Friday, november 20, 2009 Academic and Educational Issues (Audiology) 0146 FR 11:00AM-12:00PM, Seminar 1 HR, CC/350-351 The Use of Data Review to Shape Statewide EDHI Programs Louis Sieminski, Self-Employed, Kingston, PA; Diane Sabo, Children’s Hosp, Pittsburgh, PA; Melita Joran, Pennsylvania Dept of Hlth, Harrisburg, PA This presentation will highlight the Pennsylvania hearing and intervention program (EDHI) and show how the use of collected data has helped shape and affect the statewide initiative. Newborn hearing screening data from 113 birthing hospitals will be presented to demonstrate datadriven program changes. This presentation will discuss the collaboration and development of initiatives to screen out of hospital births and reduce babies lost to the system. Adult Diagnostics 0150 FR 4:00PM-5:00PM, Seminar 1 HR, CC/346 The Words-in-Noise Test: English & Spanish Rachel McArdle, Bay Pines VA Healthcare System, Bay Pines, FL; Mitzarie Carlo, U of Puerto Rico, San Juan (PR); Richard Wilson, Mountain Home VA Med Ctr, Mountain Home, TN This session was developed by Special Interest Division 6: Hearing and Hearing Disorders: Research and Diagnostics. Words-in-Noise Test (WIN) presents five words at seven SNRs of multitalker babble in 4-dB decrements. Spanish-WIN uses the same descending paradigm with bisyllabic Spanish words presented in Spanish babble. The descending paradigm allows one to obtain a 50% recognition threshold as well as morphology of the psychometric function. WIN using other paradigms and parameters will also be discussed (interrupted noise, supporting context). FR 11:00AM-12:00PM, Seminar 1 HR, CC/346 Customizing Digital Signal Processing for Individuals With Hearing Losses Mario Svirsky, NYU Sch of Med, New York, NY; Chin-Tuan Tan, NYU Sch of Med, New York, NY; Matthew Fitzgerald, NYU Sch of Med, New York, NY This session was developed by the Convention Program Committee. Advances in hearing science provide important avenues for tailoring the linkage between technologies and hearing impaired persons. This session explores how scientists examine the customization of signal processing strategies underlying digital assistive aids such as cochlear implants and hearing aids to enhance peripheral-to-cortical auditory connections, thus customizing communication intervention for individuals. The steps involved in programming digital devices and how signal processing strategies are adapted for listening to conversational speech and to music will be described. FR 3:30PM-4:30PM, Seminar 1 HR, CC/350-351 Case-Based Approaches to Training Clinical Competencies in Auditory Rehabilitation Brenda Seal, James Madison U, Harrisonburg, VA; Claire Jacobson, James Madison University, Harrisonburg, VA Cases have long been used in preservice education to bridge the translation from knowledge to applied skill. This session focuses on the pedagogy of case-based learning and its application from undergraduates earning observation hours to SLP masters and AUD doctoral students assigned AR cases. The use of Blackboard and JMU-Tube technology and ASHA’s 2002 Working Group’s AR Competencies for SLPs and AUDs will also be described for replication or modification in other university programs. FR 1:00PM-2:00PM, Seminar 1 HR, CC/346 To Hear or Not to Hear: Barriers to Better Hearing Aaron Schroeder, Starkey Laboratories, Inc., Eden Prairie, MN According to Kochkin (2005), 10% of the U.S. population, approximately 31.5 million people, have hearing loss. It has been shown unequivocally that untreated hearing loss is linked to irritability, loneliness, withdrawal from social situations, and reduced job performance and earning potential. Yet more than 24 million Americans choose not to pursue a solution to their hearing deficit. This presentation will focus on barriers, past and present, that influence an individual's decision to seek hearing care. 0151 Poster Board 343 FR 8:00AM-9:30AM, Poster, CC/Hall G Influence of Stimulus Parameters on DPOAEs in Hearing Impaired Ears Kelli Murphy, U of Kansas, Lawrence, KS; Tiffany Johnson, U of Kansas, Lawrence, KS Friday, november 20, 2009 audioLogY 0152 Poster Board 344 FR 10:00AM-11:30AM, Poster, CC/Hall G Multi-Class Dichotic Listening in Alzheimer's Disease Ana Maria Alvarez, U of São Paulo, São Paulo (BR); Isabel Carvalho, U of São Paulo, São Paulo (BR); Cassio Bottino, U of São Paulo, São Paulo (BR); Koichi Sameshima, U of São Paulo, São Paulo (BR); Renata Avila, U of São Paulo, São Paulo (BR) FR 8:00AM-10:00AM, Seminar 2 HR, CC/347 Windows to the Mind: Brain Imaging & Cochlear Implants Emily Tobey, Callier Center UT Dallas, Dallas, TX; Kristi Buckley, U of Buffalo, Buffalo, NY; Michael Devous, UT Southwestern Med Ctr, Dallas, TX This session was developed by the Convention Program Committee. Individuals with cochlear implants demonstrate high variability in performance. This seminar will explore how functional brain imaging and electrophysiological techniques reveal neurophysiological factors influencing individual performance. The session will review the principles of measurement associated with functional measures of brain activity and applications to hearing-impaired populations using modern technology. Emphasis will be placed on new applications of combining techniques of assessment, exploring cross-modal influences, and affirming the plasticity of the adult brain. 0148 Poster Board 341 FR 8:00AM-9:30AM, Poster, CC/Hall G Teaching Audiology Practice Management: Using a University Audiology Clinic Jennifer Simpson, Purdue U, West Lafayette, IN 0153 Poster Board 345 FR 1:00PM-2:30PM, Poster, CC/Hall G Predicting Auditory Nerve Survival Using Evoked Potentials Brian Earl, U of Kansas Med Ctr, Kansas City, KS 149 Poster Board 342 FR 10:00AM-11:30AM, Poster, CC/Hall G Promoting Hearing Impaired Professional Preparation via a Web Site Stacey Lim, Kent St U, Kent, OH; Denise Wray, U of Akron, Akron, OH; Lynne E. Rowan, Kent St U, Kent, OH; Ronald K. Sommers, Family Child Learning Ctr, Tallmadge, OH 154 Poster Board 346 FR 3:00PM-4:30PM, Poster, CC/Hall G Computer Automated Dichotic Nonsense Syllable Test: Normative Data Conrad Lundeen, West Virginia University, Morgantown, WV Adult Treatment and Rehabilitation 0155 FR 9:30AM-10:30AM, Seminar 1 HR, CC/346 Psychology of the Vestibular & Balance Patient Kenneth Bouchard, Henry Ford Med Group, West Bloomfield, MI We have come a long way as audiologists in our understanding and treatment of the vestibular and balance systems. Are we as prepared in our understanding of the psychology of that same patient? This is more than knowing the possible role of the psychiatric aspects of dizziness. The goal is to help our patients better cope with what is happening to their world. ASHA 2009 x Exhibits & pro gr am sEssions guidE
