Bone Conduction Audiometry - The Good, The Bad, and the Interesting

Audiology Online course, subscription required for CEU credit.
Learning Level: Introductory
Presenter: Sherman Lord, AuD

Bone conduction audiometry is a standard test performed in an audiologic evaluation. Bone scores help indicate the site of lesion and type of hearing loss that may be present; however, there are times when unexplainable air/bone gaps or bone thresholds poorer than air thresholds are obtained. This webinar will address some of the oddities of bone conduction audiometry and clear up some of the frustration felt by clinicians when strange results are obtained.

The Acoustic Reflex: New Perspectives on an Old Test 

Webinar recording only, no CEU credit available.
Learning Level: Advanced
Presenter: James Hall, PhD

The acoustic reflex is an objective test unaffected by listener variables like age, sleep, language, motivation, and cognitive status. Requiring little patient cooperation and only a few minutes to record, the acoustic reflex is a sensitive index of dysfunction involving the middle ear, cochlea, portions of the 8th and 7th cranial nerves, and pathways within the brainstem. Most audiologists have instrumentation for recording the acoustic reflex, yet few regularly apply this diagnostically powerful tool. This E-learning seminar provides a practical and evidence-based review of acoustic reflex measurements and clinical applications. Billing codes for acoustic reflex measurement are also discussed.
