CLA-6103 Workshop: Module on Rehabilitation and Professional Issues
Hearing Assessment and Identification in Infants and Young Children
This workshop will address the theoretical concepts of objective testing in infants and young children in audiology and provide training in the advanced assessment techniques to include theoretical and practical topics related to data acquisition and analysis of Auditory Brainstem Responses, Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE), discussion of the afferent and efferent pathways, frequency- specific Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR), tone-burst ABR, Auditory Steady State Response (ASSR), Middle Latency Responses (MLR), Late Potentials including N1-P2, P300, Mismatch Negativity (MMN), and Electrocochleography (EcochG). There will be particular emphasis on hands-on training and participants will be encouraged to bring case studies for review and class discussion.
Programming Cochlear Implants
This workshop will review theoretical and corresponding practical training in peripheral measurements including electrical ABR (EABR), electrical compound action potential (ECAP) and Neural Response Telemetry (NRT™), stapedial reflex threshold (ESRT), cortical auditory evoked responses. Practical tips on CI programming for complex cases will be discussed. Participants to the workshop are encouraged to bring complex cases for discussion as well. Bimodal and bilateral cochlear implants will be reviewed as well as an overview of surgical issues in cochlear implantation.
