"Audiovestibular complications and legalities following head injuries" 

We are honored to announce the second lecture of three, managed by a International Respected Expert: Prof. Soumit Dasgupta, Consultant Audiovestibular Physician/Neurotologist and Clinical Lead in Paediatric Audiology, Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation Trust, Liverpool.

Audiovestibular system assessment and management thereof is crucial in head injuries to improve a person’s life. This lecture discusses the pathomechanism, epidemiology, clinical features and management of audiovestibular injuries following head injuries and the legal perspective with the author’s own extensive case series.

"Setting up Paediatric Vestibular and Balance Services" 

This talk aims to unravel the fundamentals in vestibular assessments in children. It is specifically designed for the clinicians taking their first steps in incorporating paediatric vestibular assessments into their practice. 

Dr. Jeyasakthy Saniasiaya, Paediatric Otorhinolaryngology Surgeon in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, University of Malaya (Malaysia), will explain how to incorporate vestibular assessment in everyday clinical practice. She will also provide useful tips on how to start a paediatric vestibular service.

 Roll up your sleeves: (Hands-on) REM basics 

The verification of hearing aid fittings is conducted to ensure that their gain and output are correct. Each hearing instrument programming can only be verified employing Real-Ear Measurement (REM), adjusting the sound measurements just in front of the tympanic membrane via the REM probe measurement tube, using validated prescriptive targets displayed via a probe microphone system, matching the output to these targets using a calibrated input signal (e.g. ISTS) delivered at soft, medium and loud levels.

REM should not be viewed as being overly technically difficul: it’s not that hard!
To feel more comfortable, we need lean into our gear, get to know it, roll up our sleeves and try things out!

Last October 26th, Clayton Fisher, clinical audiologist and audiology consultant and owner of Treat Hearing Health Care, managed the webinar "Roll up your sleeves: (Hands-on) REM basics with CARL”. 

During the course, the speaker provided pragmatic tips-and-tricks for learning the basic, hands-on techniques and skills required to become competent and confident in performing and interpreting REM. Clayton demonstrates these essential REM procedures by performing a complete hearing aid fitting on audiology simulator CARL, using our Trumpet REM system.

Let yourself be guided in a hearing aid fitting session!
Watch the webinar “Roll up your sleeves: (Hands-on) REM basics with CARL” published on Inventis Partner Pages in Audiologyonline! 

After this course, participants will be able to:

• feel more comfortable with the Trumpet and Maestro software
• feel more comfortable with calibration and techniques needed to ensure accuracy
• feel comfortable interpreting REM results and fitting data and improving upon it

Start a friendship with your REM system. It will last a lifetime!

 IFOS: what an adventure! 

From January 17-21, we participated in IFOS, the ENT World Congress, in Dubai.

The congress brought together more than 6,000 experts from all over the world thanks also to a rich scientific program. It was definitely a great success, including for us, since we had the opportunity to show the new  Maestro Control Panel , give demos of our balance equipment and meet our partners of the area.

In addition, Dr. Armato, who was also a speaker at IFOS, was invited by our UAE partner, Al-Shomoukh Trading for Technical & Medical Supplies Co. to give a private training on SYNAPSYS VHIT focusing on more clinical aspects to 30 invited professionals from the UAE and Palestine.

The presentation lasted more than two hours with great active participation and many questions directed to the doctor, who concluded by giving everyone a copy of his book entitled "The Video Head Impulse Test."

"Success Factors: Efficient Integration of Real Ear Best Practices" 

During this course, Elizabeth Thompson, clinical audiologist, innovator, entrepreneur, owner and founder of Hickory Audiology in Bloomington Indiana, will discuss the setup of the real-ear equipment in a real office environment, how to structure patient appointments for measuring patient outcomes,  integrating real-ear measures with hearing aid adjustments and what to look for in hearing aid fitting.  

The goal of the course is to not only deliver efficient solutions that you can integrate into your office today but also expand your thinking about ways to use real-ear in your clinical practice.

"Aetiology, diagnosis and management of vestibular disorders in children" 

This presentation includes an overview of the developing paediatric vestibular system in children, aetiology of paediatric vestibular disorders, the diagnostic process with evidence based latest methods and their management. The differences in paediatric vestibular diagnosis and disease profiles are also highlighted from the authors’ personal series.

"Selective canal impairment on video-HIT in peripheral vestibular diseases" 

In collaboration with VIS - Vestibology Italian Society directed by Prof. Augusto Pietro Casani, we announce the webinar “Selective canal impairment on video-HIT in peripheral vestibular diseases”.

The introduction of modern tools assessing otolith and ampullary reflexes in the high-frequency domain (VEMPs and video-HIT, respectively) has enabled a fast functional analysis of all inner ear receptors, offering new interpretations for end-organs and afferents abnormalities detected in patients with cochleo-vestibular pathologies. 
The literature review highlights how vestibular disorders could result in specific lesion patterns, including selective dysfunctions involving a single receptor. 

A series of patients with isolated impairment of a semicircular canal at the video-HIT will be presented and discussed. Each selective canal dysfunction will be correlated to the remaining clinical-instrumental data and related inner ear pathology. The underlying hypothetical pathomechanism accounting for each single scenario will be provided, with the help of pertinent bibliographic support.
