SUMMARY:Audiology masterclass series 2021
DESCRIPTION:These events are free for AHH Members not seeking accreditation! \nTopic 1: Auditory Neuropathy Spectrum Disorder – putting the ‘spectrum’ into perspective. \nDate: Thursday 29 April\nTime: 12-1pm AEST.\n Presenter: Dr Kirsty Gardner-Berry\nIndividual Sessions: $50\nTo register: bit.ly/317ABdJ\n \nWhilst auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD) is known to result in a wide range of outcomes with both hearing aids and cochlear implants it’s not always easy to decipher from the literature which of the key elements are at play and how to best counsel clients and families about the most appropriate management pathway for their specific presentation. \nIn this webinar a combination of age-of-onset and diagnostic assessment tools will be presented to help clinicians categorize different ANSD sub-groups\, explain the variation in outcomes seen\, and guide the clinical management pathway moving forward. \n  \nTopic 2: Shifting the Goal Posts. Hearing loss & Cochlear implantation in the Australian Landscape.\nDate:Thursday May 20\nTime:12-1pm AEST.\n Presenter: Emma Ramsay\nIndividual Sessions: $50\nTo register: bit.ly/317ABdJ\n \nAustralian Professor Graeme Clark AC was inspired by his deaf father to help deaf people hear. The ground breaking research he led in Australia began in the late 1960s\, when almost all auditory neurophysiologists believed that providing useful hearing through electrical stimulation would be impossible. \nWhen cochlear implants were first commercialised most potential candidates and health care professionals hoped the device would be an aid to lip reading. Forty years later the goal posts have shifted considerably and expectations include the ability to swim wearing the device\, cell phone connectivity\, hearing in noise and much\, much more. Cochlear has continued with global clinical research and technology development programs\, integrating new findings into products with enhanced performance and usability to meet these growing and ever changing expectations. \nIn this session you will hear Cochlear Australia New Zealand’s Clinical Director Emma Ramsay \, discuss the improvements the Cochlear implant industry has seen over the last 20 years\,  how the Australian landscape has changed and improvements still needed and learn about ways  Cochlear’s technology can maximise hearing and lifestyle outcomes. \n  \nTopic 3: Introduction to the PLUM and HATS\nDate: Thursday 6 May\nTime: 12:00-1:00pm AEST\nPresenters: Meagan Ward\, Carmen Kung\, and Sam Harkus\nIndividual Sessions: $50\nTo register: bit.ly/317ABdJ \nYou may have come across new tools available from the National Acoustics Laboratories called PLUM and HATS. They are checklists designed to guide conversations with parents of Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander children aged 6 months to five years\, to explore their child’s listening and communication skills development. \nOriginally designed with the primary health workforce in mind to assist with triaging for referrals\, they can also guide decision making across the continuum of care. Come and learn what they are\, why they were developed\, and how they are being used\, and our hopes for how they may play a role in closing the gap around child development. \n  \nTopic 4: Introduction to the Oticon Medical Neuro Cochlear Implant System\nDate: 3 September 2021\nTime: 12:00-1:00pm AEST\nPresenter: Stacey Butler\nIndividual Sessions: $50\nTo register: bit.ly/317ABdJ \nThis presentation provides an opportunity for hearing care professionals to receive an overview of the Neuro cochlear implant system from Oticon Medical\, which includes the Neuro Zti implant\, Neuro 2 sound processor and Genie Medical Cochlear Implant Software. Learn about what makes the Neuro system unique. \n  \nTopic 5: Supporting Ponto Bone Anchored Hearing Solutions\nDate: 24 September 2021\nTime: 12:00-1:00pm AEST\nPresenter: Stephanie Carrick\nIndividual Sessions: $50\nTo register: bit.ly/317ABdJ \nPonto has brought superior speech understanding and comfortable listening into the lives of tens of thousands of adults and children around the world — giving them the hearing confidence they need to take part in school\, work and social situations. This presentation will provide hearing care professionals and educators an understanding of key components of the Ponto system: sound processing strategies\, connectivity and support resources. Learn what makes Ponto unique and how you can best support bone anchored hearing users. \n  \nTopic 6: Advanced Bionics\nDate: 11 November 2021\nTime: 12:00-1:00pm AEST\nIndividual Sessions: $50\nTo register: bit.ly/317ABdJ \nThis session will give a summary of some of the unique technologies developed by Advanced Bionics. Some areas covered will include the use of Current Steering to increase spectral resolution\, the first truly made for CI bimodal system eliciting better performance in everyday life situations\, and an introduction to AB’s new cochlear implant- setting a new benchmark for standard of care in CI and MRI. \n  \n  \nTopic 7 :MED-EL: 20 Innovations in 20 Minutes (and then some more)\nDate: 1 October 2021\nTime: 12:00-1:00pm AEST\nIndividual Sessions: $50\nTo register: bit.ly/317ABdJ \nThis presentation will discuss 20 recent innovations available in the latest MED-EL cochlear implant systems and how they improve clinical practice and user benefit. Design philosophy and future direction will also be explored. \n  \nTopic 8: Cochlear Technology and Research Update\nDate: 29 October 2021\nTime: 12:00-1:00pm AEST\nIndividual Sessions: $50\nTo register: bit.ly/317ABdJ \nSince 1981\, Cochlear has provided more than 600\,000 implantable devices\, helping recipients of all ages\, to hear and live full and active lives.

SUMMARY:Linguistics Research Showcase 2020
DESCRIPTION:  \nWhen: Friday 25 September     10:00am-4:00pm\nWhere: F2F and online via zoom\nHow to register: CLICK HERE \n  \nThe Linguistics Research Showcase aims to explore the diversity of Linguistics research\, celebrating the work of our recent graduates\, promoting recent publications\, crowdsourcing expert input for our works-in-progress and workshopping some of the skills specific to conducting research in the global age of communication. \nTalks are in various formats\, including Graduate Plenaries (HDR students who have completed or submitted since Jan 2019)\, Lightning Talks\, Research in Progress presentations\, and Strategic Research Topics. \n  \n\n\n\nMorning Sessions     10:00-12:00\nAinsworth Building: 1 Wally’s Walk Rm. 202 \nOnline Link\n\n\n10:00\nOpening Address & Welcome\nProf. Mark Connor\, A/D HDR\, Faculty of Medicine\, Health & Human Sciences\n\n\n10:20\nDr. Rebecca Holt          (in person)\n\n\nFacilitating language processing for children with hearing loss\n\n\nChildren with hearing loss may process language slowly and effortfully compared to those with normal hearing. This thesis examined the effects of input enriched via visual speech cues (bottom-up information) or informative semantic context (top-down information) on the processing speed and effort of children using hearing aids and/or cochlear implants. Children with hearing loss benefited from both sources of information and performed similarly to their peers with normal hearing overall. This contributes to theoretical accounts of bottom-up and top-down interactions in language processing and suggests practical steps to facilitate communication for children with hearing loss.\n\n\nSupervisors: Prof. Katherine Demuth and Dr. Laurence Bruggeman\n\n\n10:45   \nDr. Colum Ruane         (in person)\n\n\n \nFresh insights into the position and utility of English in the world: a Korean perspective.\n\n\n\nThis presentation is in response to current globalising trends in which broadened cultural influences allow for fresh insights to English’s ideological position in the world. It showcases views from a cohort of Koreans on their perceptions of Global English – specifically\, how they ideologically shaped English within the Korean and global context\, and how they perceived its usage with respect to a sense of internationalism and global integration. Findings suggest that greater global mobility\, online and offline is leading to enhanced global sensitivities. English users can construct a sense of global community through more individuated and culturally informed engagement with the world.\n\n\n\nSupervisor: Prof. Phil Benson\n\n\n11:10   \nDr. Wing Shan (Andrea) Chan              (online)\n\n\n \nAn investigation of subtitles as learning support in university education\n\n\n\nUsing a mixed-methods approach\, the current study aims to investigate the processing and resultant impact of subtitles on English- and Chinese-speaking participants in terms of their comprehension and cognitive load. Experiment 1 was conducted in an authentic university classroom and revealed that English-speaking participants had lower self-reported cognitive load in reading Chinese subtitles\, while neither English nor Chinese subtitles had any impact on the self-rated cognitive load of Chinese-speaking participants. Experiment 2 was a laboratory-based experiment with Chinese first-language participants watching video with no subtitles\, Chinese subtitles and English subtitles. First-language subtitles were found to result in improved comprehension.\n\n\n\nSupervisors: Prof. Jan-Louis Kruger and A/Prof Stephen Doherty (UNSW)\n\n\n11:35\nNu Anh Vo       (online)            \n\n\n \nCritical Thinking in English Language Teaching in the Vietnamese Tertiary Context\n\n\n\nThis study examines the importance and feasibility of critical thinking (CT) in English language teaching (ELT) in the Vietnamese tertiary context. Evidence was collected through two questionnaires\, two CT tasks and interviews in a qualitative case study. The findings emphasize the appropriateness of CT to Vietnamese students\, support the integration of CT instruction into ELT\, and suggest ideas for developing Vietnamese students’ CT. It is hoped that these findings will be useful beyond the particular case of Vietnam to benefit students and teachers in other ELT contexts since the need for good CT skills in a globalising world is universal.\n\n\n\nSupervisor: A/Prof. Stephen Moore\n\n\nLunch Break 12:00-1:00\n\n\nVirtual Poster Sessions     1:00-1:30\n\n\nThese posters will be hosted in individual “Zoom Rooms” from 1:00-1:30.

SUMMARY:Social Language Skills Group
DESCRIPTION:Event date and time: Monday 28th September\, Wednesday 30th September\, Thursday 1st October 12pm-1pm \nSummary: Setting a strong foundation for social language is essential. Our September group boosts children’s capacity to work in groups\, manage conversations and build relationships. This group is perfect for children in all years of Primary School to enable them to build crucial social language skills for school success. Children in School Years K-6 are welcome. \nCost: $112.50 \nYou don’t need to be an existing client to attend! \nRegister or request more information here https://mqedu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_br6LoUuz4qSMQoB \nSocial skills are essential for communication for people of all ages. These foundations are laid early\, with children learning and using social skills largely in play. Children learn to follow the ‘unspoken’ rules of conversation (like turn-taking\, eye contact\, and facial expressions) to build relationships. This helps them work in groups at school and communicate with peers. Topics will include: \n\nGreetings and conversation-starters\nTurn-taking and listening in conversation\nHaving and maintaining a conversation\nSharing and identifying feelings\nBeing a good friend\n\n  \n

SUMMARY:Audiology Masterclass Series 2020 - Piers Dawes
DESCRIPTION:  \nWe are only offering the Audiology Master Series seminar on 30 March\, titled\, Hearing and vision impairment and mental well-being in older age remotely\, live (through web-based conference) or digital access (recorded presentations). \nThis Masterclass series will take place through a Zoom webinar from 12-1pm EST on the posted date. Ten days after each live event\, a recording of the webinar will also be made available for you to watch via the Short Courses website. You will be notified via email for both the live event and when the recording is available to watch. \nTopic 1: Hearing and vision impairment and mental well-being in older age\nLocation: Zoom webinar\nDate: 30 March\, 2020\nPresenter: Piers Dawes \nAge-related hearing loss is a marker of risk of cognitive decline and dementia. I will outline possible links between hearing/vision impairment and cognition\, including hearing/vision loss as a biomarker for cognitive well-being\, the impact of cognitive declines on function and sensory impairment as a causal contributor to cognitive decline and poor quality of life in older age. Controlled hearing intervention studies on long term cognitive outlines are challenging\, so the evidence for the impact on hearing interventions is primarily from observational studies and will likely continue to be from studies other than randomised controlled trials. \nPiers will share recent research including our own work modelling i) relationships between age-related impairment of sensory function and cognition and ii) modelling the impact of sensory interventions on cognitive outcomes between intervention and control groups. He will identify key challenges in addressing hearing impairment to improve mental well-being in later life and argue that effective prevention\, identification and management of hearing and vision problems represents an important opportunity to optimise mental well-being and quality of life in older age. \n  \nVisit the following link to register now! https://bit.ly/2SgCH68\nAustralian Hearing Hub members staff not seeking accreditation can attend the seminars free of charge \nAccreditation: Completing this webinar will contribute 1 hour NESA Registered PD addressing 1.1\, 1.5\,.1.6\, 6.2\,.6.3\, 6.4\, 7.4 from the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers towards maintaining Proficient Teachers Accreditation in NSW. \n  \nAccreditation: This course has been approved by AG Bell Academy for Listening and Spoken Language to offer LSLS™ 1 CEUs per presentation. \n  \n\nAccreditation:\nHearing and Vision Impairment and Mental Well-Being in Older Adults – webinar CPD1920 059 Category 1.2 – 1 CPD point \n

Indigenous children experience otitis media earlier in life and for longer periods than their non-Indigenous counterparts. Recent literature has highlighted a link between otitis media in the early years of life to impacted auditory processing skills in later childhood. There is also growing interest in the association between auditory processing ability and children’s learning of pre-literacy skills known as phonological awareness that contributes to word reading skills. In the current study\, testing was conducted in remote Indigenous communities of Australia to determine associations between effects of pervasive otitis media on Indigenous children’s auditory processing and phonological awareness. \n  \nVisit the following link to register now! https://bit.ly/2SgCH68\nAustralian Hearing Hub members staff not seeking accreditation can attend the seminars free of charge \nAccreditation: Completing this webinar will contribute 1 hour NESA Registered PD addressing 1.1\, 1.5\,.1.6\, 6.2\,.6.3\, 6.4\, 7.4 from the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers towards maintaining Proficient Teachers Accreditation in NSW. \n  \nAccreditation: This course has been approved by AG Bell Academy for Listening and Spoken Language to offer LSLS™ 1 CEUs per presentation. \n  \nAccreditation: \nThe Relationship of Ear Health to Indigenous Children’s Phonological Awareness in Remote Communities in the NT –\nin-person event CPD1920 060 Category 1.1 – 1 CPD point\nThe Relationship of Ear Health to Indigenous Children’s Phonological Awareness in Remote Communities in the NT –\nwebinar CPD1920 061 Category 1.2 – 1 CPD point \n

SUMMARY:Audiology Masterclass Series 2020 - John Newall
DESCRIPTION:This Masterclass series will take place in person at the Australian Hearing Hub\, as well as be offered live through a Zoom webinar from 12-1pm EST on the posted date. Ten days after each live event\, a recording of the webinar will also be made available for you to watch via the Short Courses website. You will be notified via email for both the live event and when the recording is available to watch. \n  \nTopic 3: Musical based auditory training programs\nLocation: Zoom webinar\nDate: 30 April\, 2020\nPresenter: John Newall\nMusic has played a significant role in human culture throughout human development. Claims abound in both the scientific literature and popular culture about the positive effects of music on; concentration\, retention of information\, intelligence\, and even on the growth of crops and pot plants! Whilst these claims have varying scientific support\, research has certainly shown the significant effects that musical training has on the brain and how it responds to sound. With a fairly robust finding that professionally trained musicians perform better across a range of auditory tasks\, interest in investigating the potential for musical training to improve the listening abilities of those with hearing aids or cochlear implants has begun to grow. In this workshop we will discuss the evidence surrounding the benefits of involving music in the rehabilitation of the hearing impaired. \n  \nVisit the following link to register now! https://bit.ly/2SgCH68\nAustralian Hearing Hub members staff not seeking accreditation can attend the seminars free of charge \nAccreditation: Completing this webinar will contribute 1 hour NESA Registered PD addressing 1.1\, 1.5\,.1.6\, 6.2\,.6.3\, 6.4\, 7.4 from the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers towards maintaining Proficient Teachers Accreditation in NSW. \n  \nAccreditation: This course has been approved by AG Bell Academy for Listening and Spoken Language to offer LSLS™ 1 CEUs per presentation. \n  \nAccreditation: \nMusical Based Auditory Training Programs – in-person event CPD1920 062 Category 1.1 – 1 CPD point \nMusical Based Auditory Training Programs – webinar event CPD1920 063 Category 1.2 – 1 CPD point

SUMMARY:Audiology Masterclass Series 2020 - Valerie Green
DESCRIPTION:This Masterclass series will take place in person at the Australian Hearing Hub\, as well as be offered live through a Zoom webinar from 12-1pm EST on the posted date. Ten days after each live event\, a recording of the webinar will also be made available for you to watch via the Short Courses website. You will be notified via email for both the live event and when the recording is available to watch. \nTopic 4: Family Adjustment to Diagnosis of Infant Hearing Loss\nLocation: Remote Access only\nDate: 29 October\, 2020\nPresenter: Valerie Green \nWith most forms of childhood disability or developmental delay\, parents may have intuited themselves that something is not quite right\, and the diagnosis may come as a relief and confirmation that they know their baby well. However\, the diagnosis of hearing loss following newborn hearing screening is nearly always a surprise to the family\, with many parents experiencing feelings of distress and confusion. \nEarly intervention\, including fitting of hearing aids\, parent education and therapy support has been shown to lead to significantly better speech and language development for these children. For this reason\, health professionals have an important role in assisting parents to adjust to the diagnosis\, so they are able to move on to make decisions and plans for their child in a timely manner. This presentation will examine why this adjustment is so important\, and consider three different types of normal responses by parents. Some particular types of hearing loss\, which present their own issues with regard to adjustment\, will be discussed\, along with the factors which may influence parents along their journey to acceptance. \nVisit the following link to register now! https://bit.ly/2SgCH68\nAustralian Hearing Hub members staff not seeking accreditation can attend the seminars free of charge \nAccreditation: Completing this webinar will contribute 1 hour NESA Registered PD addressing 1.1\, 1.5\,.1.6\, 6.2\,.6.3\, 6.4\, 7.4 from the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers towards maintaining Proficient Teachers Accreditation in NSW. \n  \nAccreditation: This course has been approved by AG Bell Academy for Listening and Spoken Language to offer LSLS™ 1 CEUs per presentation. \n  \nAccreditation:

A Paediatric Audiologist may be one of the first professionals that parents meet in their diagnostic journey\, when a child is suspected of having a developmental delay/ ASD. Experienced Paediatric Audiologists can not only help to establish the status of the child’s hearing but also direct the parents to appropriate professionals who can further play a role in the diagnostic process. \nThis presentation will discuss the findings of a cohort study conducted at JPAC. A census was conducted of children who required Visual Reinforcement Orientation Audiometry (VROA) and Visually Reinforced Operant Conditioning Audiometry (VROCA)\, to analyse any referral trend and to establish the percentage of children with possible developmental delay. A checklist was used by the audiologists during the case history collection\, to identify any early indicators of developmental delay/ASD. Information was also collected about any modifications made to the test procedure\, to adapt to an individual child’s needs or behaviours. The presentation will outline some strategies that may help other audiologists to test a child with developmental delay and additional needs. \nVisit the following link to register now! https://bit.ly/2SgCH68\nAustralian Hearing Hub members staff not seeking accreditation can attend the seminars free of charge \nAccreditation: Completing this webinar will contribute 1 hour NESA Registered PD addressing 1.1\, 1.5\,.1.6\, 6.2\,.6.3\, 6.4\, 7.4 from the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers towards maintaining Proficient Teachers Accreditation in NSW. \n  \nAccreditation: This course has been approved by AG Bell Academy for Listening and Spoken Language to offer LSLS™ 1 CEUs per presentation. \n  \nAccreditation:

I will outline possible links between hearing/vision impairment and cognition\, including hearing/vision loss as a biomarker for cognitive well-being\, the impact of cognitive declines on function and sensory impairment as a causal contributor to cognitive decline and poor quality of life in older age. Controlled hearing intervention studies on long term cognitive outlines are challenging\, so the evidence for the impact on hearing interventions is primarily from observational studies and will likely continue to be from studies other than randomised controlled trials. \nPiers will share recent research including our own work modelling i) relationships between age-related impairment of sensory function and cognition and ii) modelling the impact of sensory interventions on cognitive outcomes between intervention and control groups. He will identify key challenges in addressing hearing impairment to improve mental well-being in later life and argue that effective prevention\, identification and management of hearing and vision problems represents an important opportunity to optimise mental well-being and quality of life in older age. \nTopic 2: The relationship of ear health to indigenous children’s phonological awareness in remote communities in the NT\nLocation: Australian Hearing Hub\, Lecture Threatre\nDate: 22 April\, 2020\nPresenter: Mridula Sharma \nTwo-thirds of Indigenous Australian children in the Northern Territory (NT) experience poor ear health and associated hearing loss. Indigenous children experience otitis media earlier in life and for longer periods than their non-Indigenous counterparts. Recent literature has highlighted a link between otitis media in the early years of life to impacted auditory processing skills in later childhood. There is also growing interest in the association between auditory processing ability and children’s learning of pre-literacy skills known as phonological awareness that contributes to word reading skills. In the current study\, testing was conducted in remote Indigenous communities of Australia to determine associations between effects of pervasive otitis media on Indigenous children’s auditory processing and phonological awareness. \nTopic 3: Musical based auditory training programs\nLocation: Australian Hearing Hub\, Lecture Theatre\nDate: 30 April\, 2020\nPresenter: John Newall\nMusic has played a significant role in human culture throughout human development. Claims abound in both the scientific literature and popular culture about the positive effects of music on; concentration\, retention of information\, intelligence\, and even on the growth of crops and pot plants! Whilst these claims have varying scientific support\, research has certainly shown the significant effects that musical training has on the brain and how it responds to sound. With a fairly robust finding that professionally trained musicians perform better across a range of auditory tasks\, interest in investigating the potential for musical training to improve the listening abilities of those with hearing aids or cochlear implants has begun to grow.

SUMMARY:Seminar: Spatio-temporal characteristics of auditory selective attention in multi-talker environments ...
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Professor Shuichi Sakamoto\nDate: 25 February  2020\nTime: 10.00am -11.00am\nLocation: Australian Hearing Hub\, Level 1\, Lecture Theatre \nAbstract:\nIn everyday listening situations\, we can extract specific acoustic information from a large number of surrounding sound sources. This phenomenon is often called the cocktail party effect. Auditory selective attention is an important mechanism underlying the cocktail party effect. By directing their attention to various acoustic properties of the target sound\, listeners can hear out a target sound from distractors. This study investigated how the spatial and temporal characteristics of auditory selective attention affect speech understanding in the presence of competing speech sounds. The results of an experimental listening test showed the spread of auditory spatial attention according to direction. Moreover\, the shape of spatial window of the auditory selective attention was almost same regardless of the direction in which listeners’ attention was directed. The results also indicated that the contribution of a spatial cue of auditory selective attention was greater than that of a temporal cue of auditory selective attention. \nBio:\nProfessor at Tohoku University (Sendai\, Japan)\nVisiting Professor\, School of Engineering\, Macquarie University \nRegistration:  Entry is free and open to the public. \nPlease contact: Jason Mikiel-Hunter if you have any further questions – jason.mikiel-hunter@mq.edu.au \n  \n  \n
