024 - Understanding the Relationship between Cognitive Decline and Hearing Loss: ADA Panel Session

The role of cognitive screenings in audiology practice has been and continues to be a topic of discussion. In this special edition of This Week in Hearing, HHTM is partnering with the Academy of Doctors of Audiology to bring our viewers a recording of the Panel Session entitled, “Understanding the Relationship between Cognitive Decline and Hearing Loss,” that occurred during the AuDacity Audiology Unleashed Conference held in Portland, Oregon on October 26th. In this session, three audiologists—Dr. Alicia Spoor, Dr. Heidi Hill, and Dr. Jill Davis—share how they incorporate and apply various cognitive screenings in their practices. The panel session is bookended by an introduction by Dr. Pam Souza on the scope and need for audiologists to consider cognitive screenings as part of everyday clinical practice, and concludes with a brief summary of varying state licensure guidelines provided by Dr. Amyn Amlani. This Week in Hearing would also like to recognize and thank Cognivue for sponsoring this event.
