CEUs: 0.1 AAA / Tier 1 CEUs
Duration: 60 minutes
Instructional Level: Intermediate
Program Focus: Knowledge
Description:
The idea that the conductive component of hearing loss cannot exceed 60 dB is the most intractable misconception in audiology among both audiologists and otolaryngologists. This webinar aims to demonstrate that maximum conductive hearing loss can feasibly exceed 105 dB.
Learning Outcomes:
1. Describe why maximum conductive hearing loss has been accepted as being at best 60 dB for decades.
2. Explain how interaural attenuation and maximum conductive hearing loss are related.
3. Describe how maximum conductive hearing loss can feasibly be upwards of 105 dB.
4. Summarize the implications of maximum conductive hearing loss being transducer-dependent.
