SUMMARY:AHH seminar: Evidence-based interventions for adult aural rehabilitation: : that ...
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr Melanie Ferguson\nDate: Monday 13 May\nTime: 1.00pm – 2.30pm\nLocation: Australian Hearing Hub\, Level 1\, Lecture Theatre  \nAgenda:\n1.00pm – 1.05pm – Welcome\n1.05pm – 1.45pm – Presentation\n1.45pm – 2.00pm – Q & A\n2.00pm – 2.30pm – Networking & Refreshments \nAbstract:\nIn 2007\, Arthur Boothroyd published the often-cited “Adult Aural Rehabilitation: what is it and does it work?”.  More than a decade on\, this presentation will examine developments in adult aural rehabilitation (AR) to improve auditory function\, activity\, participation and quality of life through research relating to the four cornerstones of AR intervention: hearing aids and other listening devices (sensory management)\, knowledge and skill (instruction)\, auditory and cognitive training (perceptual training)\, and motivational engagement (counselling). \nSelf-management and behavior change are at the core of many of these interventions. There is a focus on the need for high-quality research as this is needed to provide rigorous evidence to inform clinical practice and national guidelines. Much of this new research has a theoretical underpinning (e.g. behavior change theory) to better guide the development and evaluation of interventions\, increasing likelihood of implementation of research into clinical practice. The role of new and emerging technologies that support e- and m-health delivery of interventions to increase access\, personalisation and engagement of patients with hearing healthcare will be discussed. Looking to the future\, the requirement for a set of relevant and appropriate outcome measures to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions trialed in clinical studies will be highlighted. \nBio:\nMel Ferguson has recently become the Head of Audiology at NAL\, and has responsibility for the Adult Hearing Loss research area. Prior to that she was an Associate Professor in Hearing Sciences and Consultant Clinical Scientist (audiology) at the NIHR Nottingham Biomedical Research Centre\, UK.  Her translational research programme on Mild to Moderate Hearing Loss aimed to promote healthy hearing by reducing activity limitations and participation restrictions. This research focussed on (i) e-health and self-management\, (ii) listening and cognition\, and (iii) listening devices. These primary themes were underpinned by health behaviour\, patient-centred approaches and outcome measures. Previously\, Mel worked at the MRC Institute of Hearing Research\, and was the head of the Clinical Section. There she worked on early screening for hearing loss\, modernising hearing aid services\, and APD in children. \nMel has a long track record in audiology professional affairs\, with leadership roles in the British Society of Audiology and British Academy of Audiology. For example\, she was Chair of the BSA Adult Rehabilitation Interest Group\, Chair of the BAA Higher Training committee\, and until recently was the Vice-chair for BSA. She contributed to developing national clinical guidelines on hearing Loss as a member of the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guideline development committee. \nRegistration:  Entry is free and open to the public. \nPlease register by Wednesday 8 May 2019 to louise.dodd@mq.edu.au

SUMMARY:AHH seminar: Hearing Loss\, Aging\, and Public Health
DESCRIPTION:  \nSpeaker: Professor Frank Lin \nDate: Friday 10 May\nTime: 1.00pm – 2.30pm\nLocation: Australian Hearing Hub\, Level 1\, Lecture Theatre \nAgenda:\n1.00pm – 1.05pm – Welcome\n1.05pm – 1.45pm – Presentation\n1.45pm – 2.00pm – Q & A\n2.00pm – 2.30pm – Networking & Refreshments \nAbstract:\nMedicine and public health have evolved through three eras over the past century. Beginning in the first half of the 20th century\, infectious diseases were controlled for the first time in human history through vaccinations\, hygiene\, and other strategies. Subsequently\, throughout the 20th century\, chronic diseases of middle and later life (e.g.\, cardiovascular disease\, cancers) became the leading causes of mortality but have also increasingly been better controlled. These successes of public health have led to a rapidly increasing population of older adults living longer than ever before. In this third era of public health\, we are now confronting the challenge of aging and how to best optimize the health and functioning of a growing population of older adults. In this era\, hearing and our ability to engage effectively with the environment around us are critically important but not yet priorities in the spheres of public health and public policy. \nI will discuss research over the past several years that has demonstrated the broad implications of hearing loss for the health and functioning of older adults\, particularly with respect to cognitive functioning\, brain aging\, and dementia. I will then discuss how this epidemiologic research has directly informed and led to current national initiatives focused on hearing loss and public health. These initiatives include the Aging and Cognitive Health Evaluation in Elders (ACHIEVE) randomized controlled trial\, the Over-the-Counter Hearing Aid Act of 2017\, and the development of novel accessible and affordable approaches to hearing care delivery. \nBio:\nFrank R. Lin\, M.D.\, Ph.D. is the director of the Cochlear Center for Hearing and Public Health and a Professor of Otolaryngology\, Medicine\, Mental Health\, and Epidemiology at Johns Hopkins. Dr. Lin completed his medical education\, residency in Otolaryngology\, and Ph.D. in Clinical Investigation\, all at Johns Hopkins. He completed further otologic fellowship training in Lucerne\, Switzerland. Dr. Lin’s clinical practice is dedicated to otology and the medical and surgical management of hearing loss. His public health research focuses on understanding how hearing loss affects the health and functioning of older adults and the strategies and policies needed to mitigate these effects. From 2014-2016\, Lin led initiatives with the National Academies of Science\, Engineering\, and Medicine (workshop\, consensus study)\, the White House President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST)\, and Congress that resulted in passage of the Over-the-Counter Hearing Aid Act of 2017 which overturned 40 years of established regulatory precedent in the U.S. This federal law reflects the direct result of his prior research and broader policy work around hearing loss and public health. He currently serves as a member of the Board on Health Sciences Policy at the National Academies.  As the director of the Cochlear Center\, he oversees over $30 million in committed NIH and philanthropic funding dedicated to advancing the mission areas of the Center. \nRegistration:  Entry is free and open to the public. \nPlease register by Tuesday 7 May 2019 to louise.dodd@mq.edu.au
