2nd Trends in Pediatrics
Across four consecutive days, the 2nd Trends in Pediatrics virtual course will cover the latest advancements, evidence and perspective on a range of topics including new-born hearing screening, auditory neuropathy, spectrum disorder, behavioural testing and pediatric vestibular assessments.
This is a course organised and run by the Interacoustics Academy. Registration to this is free of charge. Each course has been assigned 0.2 CEU´s from the American Academy of Audiology. You can attend as many courses as you like but each course requires a separate registration so CEU points can be properly awarded.
Global perspectives on new-born hearing screening
Learning Objectives:
- To understand the different approaches to new-born hearing screening adopted across the globe
- To explore the effects of the screening strategy and time points on the outcome of new-born hearing screening
- To explore development in the OAE measurement method
The diagnosis and management of auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD)
Learning Objectives:
- To understand the risk factors and prevalence of ANSD
- To understand how to diagnose ANSD and the role of screening
- To review the current evidence on management of ANSD
Advances in behavioural testing
Learning Objectives:
- To understand how to perform visual reinforcement audiometry
- To understand the advantages and pitfalls of the different types of stimuli and rewards available for visual reinforcement audiometry
- To understand how to create your own visual rewards in order to customise a visual reinforcement audiometry session for individual patients
The role of diagnostic tests of hearing and balance in the paediatric CI patient journey
Learning Objectives:
- To explore the prevalence of balance problems, risk factors, and associated syndromes in infants and children
- To review the global perspective of hearing and balance assessment in CI pathwayfor pediatric recipients
- The role of diagnostic tools in the testing of the vestibular end organ (cVEMP and vHIT, rotiational chairs)
- To understand the consequences of not performing pre and post vestibular assessment in the paediatric CI patient

St. Joseph’s/Candler 41st Annual Neuro-Audiology VIRTUAL Seminar
Kamran Barin, Ph.D
Milap Patel, PT
This year’s seminar is designed for audiologists, physicians, physician assistants, nurse practioners, physical therapist with a goal to improve skills in Vestibular Diagnostics and Management
Course Objectives:
- Recognize common symptoms and characteristics of different vestibular disorders
- Identify the role of vHIT, VEMPs, and eccentric rotation in assessment of dizzy patients
- Discuss vestibular rehabilitation protocols for atypical and multicanal BPPV and PPPD
Vestibular Rehabilitation: An Advanced Course and Update - virtually
Dr. Joseph Furman
Dr. Susan Whitney
Vestibular Rehabilitation: An Advanced Course and Update is designed to provide an update regarding the treatment of persons with balance/vestibular disorders and the underlying science. Some of the topics include central causes of dizziness (e.g. anxiety and migraine related dizziness), BPPV, concussion management, vestibular function testing, alternative therapies, pharmacotherapy, cervical dizziness, back to work and driving decisions, and innovative therapies for person with vestibular disorders. Each of the speakers is an expert from one of several disciplines including physical therapy, neurology, neuro-optometry, audiology, and psychiatry. There are scheduled question and answer periods following each session during which participants can ask the faculty questions. This activity is approved for the following credit: AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™.
