DESCRIPTION:
The Mayo Clinic Audiology externs each present on work they have done this year. Two presentations focus on audiology diagnostic testing and one presentation focuses on cochlear implants.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Upon conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:
- Analyze the importance and usage of audiologic test procedures to best assess ototoxicity.
- Describe outcomes and objective measurements of same/next day activation compared to later activation dates.
- Recognize the signs of a sudden hearing loss and the importance of a quick referral to the proper physician when a sudden hearing loss is found.
- Describe the advantages and disadvantages of different treatment options for sudden sensorineural hearing loss.
