He also holds an appointment as Extraordinary Professor in the Department of Communication Pathology at the University of Pretoria in South Africa.
Dr. Hall's major clinical and research interests are clinical electrophysiology, auditory processing disorders, and tinnitus/hyperacusis. He regularly lectures internationally on these and other audiology and hearing-related topics. Dr. Hall is the author of over 125 peer-reviewed journal articles, monographs, or book chapters, as well as seven textbooks including the Handbook of Otoacoustic Emissions, the New Handbook of Auditory Evoked Responses, Audiologists' Desk Reference (Volumes I and II), and the recently published Objective Assessment of Hearing.
$59.00 Add to cartEarly and effective intervention for infant hearing loss depends on prompt and accurate diagnostic information. Diagnosis of hearing loss includes, for each ear, a description of the degree (severity) of impairment across the frequency region important for speech perception, and information on the site of auditory dysfunction (e.g., middle ear, inner ear, and/or neural pathways). Diagnostic auditory assessment should be completed within the first months following birth, permitting initial medical and non-medical management by 6 months (the definition of early intervention for hearing loss).

This course provides a concise and practical review of current techniques used by audiologists for hearing assessment of older children and adults. The lecture begins with a brief historical overview of the profession of audiology, with an emphasis on assessment and management of hearing loss in adults. Commonly encountered etiologies for adult hearing loss, such as noise-induced and age-related auditory dysfunction, are reviewed. Then, the clinical procedures employed in the diagnostic hearing assessment of adults are explained. Typical patterns of auditory findings for a test battery of auditory procedures are associated with etiologies underlying common causes of adult hearing loss. The lecture concludes with information on how to screen for hearing loss in a physician's office, including codes used to bill for the procedures. [more details]

$29.00 Add to cartThe goal of diagnostic audiometry is to define the extent of hearing impairment, and the likely anatomic site(s) of dysfunction within the auditory system. Diagnostic hearing assessment is an essential first step in the medical and non-medical management of patients. With clinical techniques available in audiology today, it is possible to describe peripheral and central auditory function rather precisely across the age span, and even in young children.

The Physiologic Basis of Audiologic Practice
Presenter: Charles I. Berlin, Ph.D. [bio]Charles I. Berlin, Ph.D.
Charles I. Berlin, Ph.D., is Professor Emeritus of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, and Physiology and former Director of the world-renowned Kresge Hearing Research Laboratory at LSU Medical School in New Orleans.
He was also a practicing audiologist who saw patients weekly in the audiology clinic he directed which was selected by Family Circle magazine in 1987 as the “Best Place in the United States for Hearing Problems.” He has been called the 'Teacher's Teacher' and succeeds in making complicated auditory concepts accessible to parents, teachers, and hearing aid specialists, as well as his audiology and physician students.
His clinical activities specialize in fitting hearing aids with real ear measurement to difficult-to-manage patients, both children and adults.
Dr. Berlin and his colleagues have published germinal work on the auditory abilities of brain-injured Vietnam War veterans and hemispherectomee patients operated on by Joseph Bogen, M.D. and colleagues, and studied by Nobelist Roger Sperry, Ph.D. and his colleagues. He has been an author on close to 100 peer-reviewed scientific articles and has edited 10 books on hearing science.
He was a founding member of the Advisory Board to the National Institute of Deafness and Other Communication Disorders.His current research with Drs. Linda Hood and Thierry Morlet is on otoacoustic emissions and efferent suppression, and he is collaborating on teams isolating and identifying genes for deafness in humans and rodents with Dr. Bronya Keats. He is also currently engaged in studies of Auditory Neuropathy/ Dyssynchrony, a condition which precludes the use of hearing aids, and Auditory Verbal Therapy, despite mild audiometric hearing loss, unless cochlear implantation is used.
Some of Dr. Berlin's many accomplishments include the following awards:
-- American Academy of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery's highest award, the Presidential Citation and the recipient of
