Diagnosing hearing loss in general practice is often difficult
The importance of hearing as part of a holistic health regimen cannot be overstated. Much research has been conducted into the additional impact poor hearing may have on a patient's wellbeing. Conditions such as anxiety and depression have been linked to hearing loss, time and time again.
The hearing loss & hearing aids CPD program has been created by AudioClinic, to assist GPs to better recognise and treat hearing loss in their own practice.
This workshop with case discussion will concentrate on the following areas:
- Types and degrees of hearing loss.
- How to correctly interpret the audiogram in medical practice.
- Identification of hearing loss in your practice.
- Better understanding about how hearing aids can improve hearing and communication of a person with hearing loss.
- Hearing services for adult patients in Australia.
- Tinnitus - symptoms and treatment.
- A brief look at today's advanced hearing aid technology including a simulation of hearing aids and hearing loss in various backgrounds.
I hope you find this program useful and of benefit to your practice.
