Independent Audiologists Australia presents another Sunset Session webinar - an hour of targeted learning to help make the most of your clinical time!
Are you ready to enhance your cochlear implant programming protocols and improve patient outcomes, and ensure your billing of Medicare implant programming items is full and compliant? Join us for this practical, solutions-focused session where experienced cochlear implant specialists Lauren Iasenzaniro, Sam Madigan, and Erica Caiuby demystify Electrical Evoked Stapedial Reflex Thresholds (ESRT) and demonstrate in practical terms how this powerful objective measure can inform your clinical practice.
What You'll Learn
This clinic-based webinar cuts through the complexity to deliver actionable insights on:
- Why ESRT measurements are crucial for MAP verification in both paediatric and adult populations
- How to effectively implement ESRT testing into your clinical workflow
- Practical tips for achieving reliable measurements even in challenging cases
- Strategic approaches for integrating ESRT with behavioural loudness scaling
- Compliant and complete claiming of available Medicare rebates for these services
Who Should Attend
This session is essential for all audiologists working with cochlear implant recipients who want to enhance their objective measurement toolkit, particularly when working with patients unable to provide reliable behavioural feedback.
Don't miss this opportunity to add a valuable clinical tool to your practice while potentially creating a new revenue stream. Register today to secure your place!
