Title: Things Interpreters Need to Know about Audiology from the Deaf Lens
Presenter: Gloria Nathanson AuD, RID CDI
(See bio below.)
Description: You may have seen/heard about audiograms, been told diagnosis for the student's hearing loss, or observed different kinds of amplifications or assistive devices used in classrooms. So, what does all that mean? How does that understanding about them help you prepare for your work? Have the doubly-beneficial opportunity to be able to learn all about this and get your questions answered while watching how these concepts are presented through ASL.
Educational Outcomes: At the conclusion of this workshop, participants will be able to…
Interpret information from an audiogram related to degree, configuration, laterality, symmetry, and type.
List at least three different etiologies for hearing loss likely found in school aged children.
Explain the difference between hearing aids, cochlear implants, and bone conduction hearing aids and assistive devices.
