Assessment, Amplification, and Audiologic Rehabilitation Hearing Aid Outcomes in Older Adults Larry Humes, PhD, CCC-A REPRINT FROM: Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research (JSLHR) Amplification and Dead Regions in the Cochlea Brian C. J. Moore, MA, PhD, F. Med. Sci, FRS Regions of the cochlea where there are no functioning inner hair cells and/or neurons, known as dead regions, have important implications for the fitting of hearing aids. Basilar membrane vibration in such regions is not transduced and does not lead to action potentials in the auditory nerve. This audio self-study describes the audiogram configurations that may be associated with dead regions and describes the application of the TEN test, which can be used to detect dead regions and to define their extent. Clinical applications of the results, including applications in fitting hearing aids, are discussed. You will be able to— • identify audiograms that may indicate the presence of dead regions • select appropriate levels and frequencies to use in the TEN test • apply the TEN test • assess the outcome of the TEN test to choose appropriate amplification for the client • examine the outcome of the TEN test to counsel the client Amplification and Dead Regions in the Cochlea Brian C. J. Moore, MA, PhD, F. Med. Sci, FRS Hearing Aid Outcomes in Older Adults Larry Humes, PhD, CCC-A, Editor These articles present the results of a longitudinal study of hearing aid outcomes in a group of elderly individuals. The focus is on self-perceived benefits of hearing aid use and how they can best be measured clinically. The study applied 20 different outcome measures and followed 134 participants for 1 year, 42 participants for 2 years, and 9 participants for 3 years. You will be able to— • identify and describe the seven independent factors of hearing aid outcomes identified in the Indiana University study, as presented in the first of these three articles • define the term “acclimatization” as presented in these articles and explain its relation to outcome measures for hearing aid wearers • summarize the results of this research regarding recommendations of what outcome measures are appropriate and when in the process they should be assessed • describe the evidence presented from the study and how the evidence supports these recommendations Advanced level Articles from ASHA’s professional journals 0.2 ASHA CEUs (2004–7/1/2010) Item #0112711, WEB7380 $45 ASHA member $60 nonmember Intermediate level 2-hour audio CD and manual 0.2 ASHA CEUs (2004–6/19/2010) Item #0112708 $74 ASHA member $99 nonmember Bone Anchored Hearing Aids: Candidacy to Verification Cpt. Gretchen Haywood, MS, CCC-A The bone anchored hearing aid (BAHA) is an alternative to traditional hearing aids for individuals with single-sided deafness, conductive, and mixed hearing losses. This presentation provides an overview of the BAHA, surgical considerations associated with this type of hearing aid, and candidacy issues. Subjective evaluation of the performance of BAHA versus traditional hearing aids, objective data of BAHA benefit, ease of use, and reasons for use of BAHA are also discussed. You will be able to— • identify candidates for bone anchored hearing aids • discuss performance of BAHA versus traditional amplification • describe potential benefits and limitations of the BAHA WEB/ TELEPHONE SEMINAR Intermediate level 0.2 ASHA CEUs REPLAY Available through March 4, 2009 Item #TR0815-IND $99 ASHA member $119 nonmember Item #TR0815-GRP $259 group of any size, on one connection 48 http://www.asha.org/eWeb/OLSDynamicPage.aspx?Webcode=olsdetails&title=Amplification%20and%20Dead%20Regions%20in%20the%20Cochlea&utm_source=asha&utm_medium=catalog&utm_campaign=MSDigCat09 http://www.asha.org/eWeb/OLSDynamicPage.aspx?Webcode=olsdetails&title=Hearing%20Aid%20Outcomes%20in%20Older%20Adults&utm_source=asha&utm_medium=catalog&utm_campaign=MSDigCat09 http://www.asha.org/eWeb/OLSDynamicPage.aspx?Webcode=olsdetails&title=Amplification%20and%20Dead%20Regions%20in%20the%20Cochlea&utm_source=asha&utm_medium=catalog&utm_campaign=MSDigCat09 http://www.asha.org/eWeb/OLSDynamicPage.aspx?Webcode=olsdetails&title=Hearing%20Aid%20Outcomes%20in%20Older%20Adults&utm_source=asha&utm_medium=catalog&utm_campaign=MSDigCat09 http://www.asha.org/eWeb/OLSDynamicPage.aspx?Webcode=olsdetails&title=Amplification%20and%20Dead%20Regions%20in%20the%20Cochlea&utm_source=asha&utm_medium=catalog&utm_campaign=MSDigCat09 http://www.asha.org/eWeb/OLSDynamicPage.aspx?Webcode=olsdetails&title=Bone%20Anchored%20Hearing%20Aids%3a%20Candidacy%20to%20Verification%20(Web%2fTelephone%20Replay)&utm_source=asha&utm_medium=catalog&utm_campaign=MSDigCat09 http://www.asha.org/eWeb/OLSDynamicPage.aspx?Webcode=olsdetails&title=Bone%20Anchored%20Hearing%20Aids%3a%20Candidacy%20to%20Verification%20(Web%2fTelephone%20Replay)&utm_source=asha&utm_medium=catalog&utm_campaign=MSDigCat09 http://www.asha.org/eWeb/OLSDynamicPage.aspx?Webcode=olsdetails&title=Hearing%20Aid%20Outcomes%20in%20Older%20Adults&utm_source=asha&utm_medium=catalog&utm_campaign=MSDigCat09
