Diagnosis and Treatment

This presentation aims to assist healthcare providers in avoiding misdiagnosis of hearing loss and ear pain. Participants will develop improved skills and knowledge in problem identification and physical assessment of the ear and surrounding structures. At the end of this training participants will be proficient in using a tuning fork to identify the presence of fluid. Furthermore participants will not only enhance their ability to accurately identify normal exam findings but will also be equipped to engage in discussions about alternative diagnosis of ear pain and alterations in hearing.

By the end of this training participants should be able to explain the possible etiologies of SSNHL and the principles for managing this problem. Participants will be able to demonstrate their knowledge by successfully completing a simulated patient case including diagnosing, recommending appropriate treatments, and counseling the patient.

Speaker bio: Jaime Turner has been practicing as a PA in otolaryngology and allergy since graduating in 2014 from Harding University.

When not working she loves running trails with her golden retriever, mountain biking and spending time with her husband and daughter.
