LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Upon conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:
Describe how the timeline for older adults (≥ 80 years old) to reach their peak CNC word score performance within the first year following activation differs from younger adults.
Describe the average time from referral to cochlear implantation based on data from Mayo Clinic Florida.
Summarize treatment options for stapedial myoclonus.
Examine the role of various patient demographic factors including age and vestibular diagnosis on DHI and CDP outcome measures.
Describe characteristics of congenital nystagmus and vision loss that can affect data acquisition during vestibular evaluation.
