This presentation will explore the current treatments for hearing loss, including speech mapping—a system that allows practitioners to see sound at the eardrum for fine-tuning treatment. Audiologists Eileen Augila and Barbara Parker will also discuss how the brain interprets sound and affects speech and the vital importance of the brain in filtering and interpreting sound. They are excited to share the many positive results of the patients they treat.
