Clinically available outcome measures

Assessment methods for tinntus
Dr Hashir Aazh, Head of Tinnitus & Hyperacusis Therapy Specialist Clinic, The Royal Surrey County Hospital NHS Foundation Trust

Are binaural fittings always better than monoaural?
Dr Jay Jindal, Consultant audiologist and professional development specialist
If you are reading this, it is no news to you that nature has helped us to develop an acute hearing sense by maximally utilising the binaural processing of sounds. Two ears are generally better than one. Therefore, the conventional audiology wisdom is that if the hearing is affected on both sides, binaural hearing instruments should be offered. However, in this talk, Jay referred to several situations, and discusses one in particular, where monaural fitting might be a better option for your client.

Hearing aids for music: Using new research outcomes to optimise hearing aid fittings for music
Dr Harriet Crook, Ph.D., Lead healthcare scientist, Sheffield Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust
Dr Crook discussed the findings of the three-year AHRC research project on hearing aids for music and how these can be applied in the clinic to improve hearing aid fittings. This included discussion of the main difficulties reported, positive outcomes with music, understanding knowledge gaps between audiologists and musicians and resources available to develop skills, terminology and understanding of music for audiologists.

Work behind the scenes: Actin(g) on Impulse
Dr Sylvia Kewish, Ph.D.
This short presentation covered subcellular aspects of organisation, formation, self-renewal of stereocilia of cochlear hair cells and the importance of actin and actin-related proteins in this process.

Otitis Externa: an audiological perspective
Michaela Cameron, ENT Registrar, Royal National Nose, Throat and Ears Hospital, London
Otitis externa is an infective condition which affects the outer ear canal. It typically presents as otalgia with canal oedema. Differentiating between this condition and other differentials for otalgia is important, and modifying the predisposing risk factors may involve both ENT input and audiological support.

Clinical red flags in the adult population
David Golding-Wood, ENT Consultant, Princess Royal NHS Hospitals
Audiology is an essential support to the modern otologist. We have shared responsibilities and will approach common problems with different perspectives. David examined common symptoms and signs, with recommendations for suitable referral, urgency and treatment options.

Psychological tools for facilitating client adherence to a hearing healthcare plan
Dr Michael A Harvey, Ph.D, ABPP, clinical psychologist (Massachusetts) and trainer on hearing-related mental health issues
People with hearing loss often request hearing aids but don’t want them. This presentation looked at psychological tools for audiologists to facilitate a successful hearing healthcare plan, including motivational interviewing.
