GR202 - Grand Rounds: Adult Diagnostics

Abstract:
This interactive session seeks to provide interesting and in-depth case studies that builds on conventional audiologic diagnostic assessment and application of those tests with complex adult patients. Case studies will be presented along with relevant information to further the attendee’s knowledge and understanding of clinical presentations of unique audiologic conditions.

Summary:
The instructional level chosen for the Adult Grand Rounds session is intermediate. This grand round session will feature complex adult patient clinical presentations that will require attendees to have a fundamental knowledge of audiologic assessment and the ability to interpret those test results. Case studies and the results will be presented and explained. However, the focus will be how to apply those fundamental abilities to more complex cases that may be encountered in a clinical setting. Additionally, the presenters will provide foundational knowledge explaining complex audiologic conditions such as Cogan Syndrome, otosclerosis, superior canal dehiscence, and Meniere’s disease. The cases will seek to apply clinically relevant assessment techniques, result interpretations, and knowledge of complex patients that will present to audiologic that can be applied to daily practice by attendees. Presenters will attempt to engage the attendees throughout the presentations with interactive components/questions. Takeaways from this session will be knowledge of how to apply or enhance current audiologic assessment to complex adult patient’s in their practice and how to those results may manifest for the conditions presented. This will session will have high clinical applicability and with basic fundamental knowledge of the case conditions also included.

Brief Summary of Clinical Takeaways:
The clinical takeaway for this session if to provide attendees with fundamental knowledge, including symptomology and audiologic result manifestation, for the adult cases studies presented. Presentations will include clinical applicable material that attendees can implement into their daily practice.
