SUMMARY:NSSLHA\, SAA\, SADA Presents: The OTC Hearing Aid Landscape and Implications for Students
DESCRIPTION:With the implementation of the regulations for over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids\, the practice landscape for audiologists has assumed a new dimension. Hearing loss has never been simple\, but the OTC market adds new layers of complexity. The business models in audiology practices may need to adapt\, and practice patterns will adjust to accommodate what likely will be an increased need for patient education and counseling. It will not only be patients with untreated hearing loss who present but potentially those with mistreated hearing loss due to misunderstandings and frustrations with the use of OTC devices on their own. Students in AuD programs can arm themselves with knowledge and experience to prepare for audiology practice. \nAt the completion of the sessions\, participants will be prepared to: \n\nExplain the distinctions of a prescription hearing aid versus an OTC hearing aid\nIdentify resources available to provide guidance to audiologists and consumers\nDescribe strategies for maximizing clinical education opportunities to prepare for the implications of OTC hearing aids in audiology practice\n\nRegister \nModerators\nGabby Howard\, University of Pittsburgh\, national NSSLHA\nAlexis Leiderman\, City University of New York Graduate Center (CUNY)\, national SAA\nJasmin Rodriguez\, California State University Northridge (CSUN)\, national SADA \nSpeakers\nCornetta Mosley\, AuD\, PhD \n \nCornetta Mosley\, AuD\, PhD\, is an ASHA-certified Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of Texas at Dallas.
