What’s New About Getting Older?: The Fountain of Youth: Building Trust with Truth and Stopping Misinformation in Audiology

with Kathy Pichora-Fuller, PhD, Aud(C), RAUD, FCAHS

Health care providers and patients alike can be lured by the false claims of fake authorities about health issues and cures that are too good to be true. Hope springs eternal but too often we may succumb to empty or false hopes. Meanwhile, authentic scientific sources and evidence-based analyses of the benefits (or lack thereof) of treatments have become more difficult to identify. As reality and truth become elusive, trust is eroded. As trusted healthcare professionals, audiologists must preserve and promote truth to safeguard against misinformation.

Quick Answers: With All the Modern Hearing Aid Technology and Processing, Is It Still Necessary to Conduct LDLs for My Patients?

with Gustav Mueller

While this Quick Answers is a bit longer than others, the answer may be quick, but getting there may require some background. The Quick Answer regarding whether we should measure patient-specific LDLs is “Yes”, but I think that reading Gus Mueller’s Quick Answer column will be much more fulfilling.

Clinic Corner: Misophonia and Hyperacusis: When Everyday Sounds Become Too Much

with Salima Jiwani, PhD, MSc, Reg. CASLPO

Imagine sitting in a quiet office and suddenly finding yourself overwhelmed with rage because the person next to you is chewing gum. Or picture walking into a coffee shop only to feel a wave of panic when the milk steamer hisses. For most people, these sounds are minor annoyances. But for individuals with misophonia or hyperacusis, everyday noises can feel unbearable—sometimes even life-altering.

The Way I Hear It: The Space between Us

with Gael Hannan

I haven’t yet watched Code of Silence, in which a deaf worker with exceptional speechreading abilities uses her skills to aid criminal investigations. I want to avoid the usual cringing at the myths of hearing loss and deafness perpetuated in popular media. But I have been assured that Code of Silence avoids these myths, some of them anyway, so I’ll give it a go.

Sound Business Sense: Strategic Business Planning – Part I

with Robert Traynor, Ed.D., MBA, FNAP

No matter where it is, independent audiology practice is a rapidly expanding sector of the profession. The audiologists choosing this path are truly fostering the successful transition of audiology into an entrepreneurial business-oriented clinical profession. While quite different from other allied professions, audiology has become a stand-alone professional business enterprise poised to treat the growing hearing-impaired population. Both successful and unsuccessful organizations share a fundamental element: Strategy.

From the Labs to the Clinics: Distinguishing Scientific Facts from Fiction? It is important, but most people can’t tell.

with Robert V. Harrison, PhD, DSc

One of the fundamental pillars of any scientific or healthcare field is that it be based on facts and real evidence. Methods of disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment should be based on what is known to work or at least to have a high probability of effectiveness. I think that we would all agree on that. Or would we?
