About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today I'm thrilled to be speaking with Dr. Jane Smith, an expert in audiology and the lead instructor for the new course, "Certified Professional in Elderly Hearing Aid Technology Evaluation." Dr. Smith, can you tell us more about this exciting new certification? GUEST: Absolutely, the CPEHATE course is designed to equip audiologists, hearing aid specialists, and healthcare professionals with the skills to address the unique needs of elderly patients when it comes to hearing aid technology evaluation, fitting, and maintenance. HOST: That sounds fascinating. What inspired you to create this course, and how do you see it impacting the industry? GUEST: I've worked with elderly patients for years and noticed a gap in specialized training for professionals. This course will help bridge that gap, providing crucial insights into age-related hearing loss and cognitive considerations. The impact will be improved patient outcomes and enhanced career prospects for those who complete the course. HOST: I can see how that would be incredibly valuable. Are there any current trends or challenges in the field that this course addresses? GUEST: Yes, the course tackles the growing need for teleaudiology and remote services, which have become even more relevant due to the pandemic. Additionally, it addresses the challenge of cognitive decline in elderly patients and how to tailor assessment techniques and communication strategies accordingly. HOST: That's really important. Now, let's look to the future. How do you see the field of geriatric audiology evolving, and how does this course prepare professionals for these changes? GUEST: The elderly population is rapidly growing, and so is the demand for hearing care. This course equips professionals with the knowledge and skills to meet this demand, adapt to new technologies, and provide exceptional care for our aging population. HOST: Dr. Smith, thank you so much for sharing your insights and for all the work you're doing to advance geriatric audiology. We're excited to see the positive impact this course will have on both professionals and elderly patients. GUEST: Thank you for having me. It's been a pleasure discussing the CPEHATE course and its potential to improve elderly hearing care.
