    About this ebook

    The Veterans Administration (VA) Independent Study Course on hearing loss and impairment provides extensive, authoritative coverage of hearing problems and audiology in the veteran population. This independent study is designed to provide an introduction to issues regarding the long-term health consequences of hearing loss as a result of military experience: Enhance clinicians’ abilities to assess and manage hearing loss in veteran patients; Assist practitioners in making appropriate referrals to audiologists; Provide veterans with the evaluations, guidance, and treatment they need and deserve. After completing this independent study, participants should be able to: Describe primary care clinicians’ roles in the prevention, identification, evaluation, and treatment of hearing loss; Describe the basic anatomy and physiology of the auditory system; Describe the primary care clinician’s role in identifying, screening, and making appropriate referrals for hearing loss, tinnitus, and balance disorders; Monitor patients’ medication use; Counsel patients on ways to avoid noise exposure; Describe the primary care practitioner’s role in assisting veterans in establishing well-grounded claims for disability-related hearing loss and ear disease; Describe basic audiological assessment procedures and their role in the management of patients with hearing loss. The expected outcomes of this self study are: improved sensitivity to the effect of military experiences and exposures on veteran patients’ health and attitudes, improved patient satisfaction, increased awareness of the occupational risks in a patient’s history, and a data base for future research activities. * This is a privately authored news service and educational publication of Progressive Management.
