On-Demand Webinar – “The Future of Audiology is in Auditory Processing Services”

Presented by Dr. Angela Loucks Alexander, AuD, CCC-A, MNZAS

We want anyone who walks through our doors with a hearing problem to walk out with a hearing solution. While most audiologists are familiar with diagnosing and treating hearing loss, far fewer know what steps to take for a person with a normal audiogram and complaints of hearing problems. During this lecture, Angela will take you through a step-by-step process on identifying potential red flags for auditory processing problems in people with and without hearing loss to give you ideas on potential solutions for clients with hearing problems beyond the audiogram and across the lifespan.

This previously recorded lecture includes free tools, case study videos, and demonstrations of auditory training to improve auditory processing abilities in clients with and without hearing loss. If the ears are the hardware, the brain is the software. We need both to work well to have a great user experience. And it’s time to level up our game.

Dr. Angela Loucks Alexander, Audiologist, specializes in diagnosing and treating Auditory Processing Disorder (APD). Angela’s TEDx talk “Escaping the Hidden Prison of Auditory Processing Disorder” was the most-watched TEDx worldwide in September 2021. She hosts the Between Two Ears podcast and directs the Auditory Processing Institute, where she trains audiologists and speech-language pathologists to provide APD services. She has also created an online, searchable map to help clients find the help they need at APDsupport.com.
