Mindfulness: A Valuable Component of Audiological Rehabilitation (0.1 CEUs)

Recorded: April 5, 2017

Presenters: Romona Mukherhee; Laura Sinnott, BS, MM; Sum Yee Fong, BS

CEUs: 0.1

Duration: 1 hour

Instructional Level: Fundamental

Learner Outcomes: Upon completion, each participant in the eAudiology Web seminar will be able to:

1. Implement at least one patient mindfulness/patient centered counseling technique into practice.
2. Explain the rationale for incorporating rehabilitative audiology into current practice.
3. Utilize self-awareness practices to reflect on one’s own communication abilities.

Description: The advent of  personal sound amplification products (PSAPs) and hearables may be disrupting the audiology world, but technology cannot replace the magic of human relationships. This interactive session, led by a private practice psychotherapist, will teach participants how to incorporate mindfulness techniques into their counseling in order to cultivate stronger patient-provider relationships. Mindfulness, now mainstream in Silicon Valley, the business world, and the medical field are relevant not only to the practice of audiology but to our everyday lives.
