DESCRIPTION:
This course examined factors impacting hearing aid success from technological and patient-centered perspectives. Participants reviewed research on how different technology levels affect outcomes in lab and real-world settings. The course also addressed patient-specific factors like auditory function and cost-benefit perceptions to enhance patient-provider communication and support informed decision-making in hearing aid selection.
Learning Objectives:
Understand Patient-Specific Variables: Attendees will learn about how individual differences, such as age, degree of hearing loss, cognitive function, and lifestyle, impact the effectiveness of hearing aids.
Evaluate Hearing Aid Features: Attendees will be able to evaluate how specific hearing aid features contribute to patient satisfaction and auditory outcomes.
Discuss Environmental Influences: Attendees will explore how external factors, like background noise levels, visual cues, and acoustic environments, affect the overall performance of hearing aids in real-world settings.
PRESENTER BIO
Dr. Clayton earned an Au.D. and a Ph.D. in speech and hearing science from Arizona State University. He was previously employed an assistant professor in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at Grand Valley State University where he taught graduate courses in amplification, vestibular science, and auditory and vestibular pathology. He also served as a clinical supervisor to Au.D. students at Grand Valley's audiology clinic. He will start at Mayo Clinic Florida as an academic audiologist in December 2024.
Dr. Clayton’s research background is in multisensory interaction—particularly within the realms of audio, visual, and vestibular processing—with a focus on how these interactions shape sensory perception and decision-making. One of his current areas of work focuses on enhancing clinical practices by integrating auditory-visual metrics to offer a more comprehensive assessment of hearing and balance disorders.
