John, Dean and Jenne cure their conference podcasting hangover with – more podcasting! All the latest news and a discussion about where audiologists are practicing….and whether they should be.

we wrap up our conference recordings talking about forensic audiology with Dr. Bob Traynor. We discuss what a forensic audiologist is, what it takes to be a forensic audiologist, what is expected when someone provides expert opinions, and even how to charge for services.

ATA Board Chair and audiologists extraodinaire, LaGuinn Sherlock, joins us to talk about dealing with tinnitus in a primary care audiology clinic. Also, Hubert Lim, researcher and Chief Scientific Officer of Neuromod stops by to share a sneak peek of their clinical trials with a bimodal stimulation device for tinnitus treatment.

Jennifer Gans joins us to talk about mindfulness-based strategies for tinnitus, Erin Miller provides a look at the conference ahead and the Student Trivia Challenge returns! with NOAC vs…….NOAC?

We kick off 2019 with two audiology mergers, new information about US diplomats in Cuba, and a new tool for screening children. Plus, discussion of a physician’s recent article admonishing audiologists for inaccurate statements on noise exposure.

We are joined by one of our favorite special guests (really our very favorite, but shhhh! don’t tell the others) Gail Whitelaw for an in-depth discussion about adhering to standards in audiology education. Are we letting our students down? Plus, some exciting epidemiological research and our professional organizations miss the boat (again).

In this episode, we reminisce about 100 episodes of AudiologyTalk as we discuss the current audiology news and issues of today.

Is hearing loss declining in older adults? A new BAHA is approved, Auditory neurons may be even more specilized than we thought, and is telemedicine ready to take off? We talk about all that, plus a defensive contractor who behaved very badly and may have endangered the health of countless military personnel.

What are the hearing aid delivery models we should accept as audiologists and how far should we be willing to allow companies to go in the delivery model without audiology participation?

We come back home to lots of new research about noise-induced hearing loss, aging, and a hot professional discussion about whether the oldest certification in audiology still has a place.
