FAQ’s
Am I eligible to take this course?
This is a complicated question, but we will do our best to provide some clarity here. Depending on where you practice, cerumen management may fall within the scope of practice for physicians, nurses, audiologists, and hearing aid dispensers. Anybody can take this course, but we need to first answer the question of whether you are eligible to practice cerumen management in the first place. For most healthcare professionals, their state, provincial, or federal healthcare regulatory body will have guidelines on who can perform cerumen management, the training that is required, and in some cases the degree to which it can be performed. To answer this question accurately, you must check with both your regulatory body and professional association for the most up to date information.
Is this course accredited?
Currently, the course is approved for 4.5 CE Credits through the International Hearing Society. Your professional association or local regulatory body may require this or other accreditation, so we again recommend checking with them prior to beginning study in this area.
Does this course provide certification?
At the end of the course, you will be able to download a Certificate of Completion. Certification, if required, is provided by either your local regulator or professional association and this depends on where you practice.
What sort of equipment will I need to get started?
In the course, we review all common methods and equipment and you will ultimately choose your preferred equipment based on considerations for space, cost, efficacy, and again your professional regulatory body.
Does this course offer closed captioning?
Yes, English captions can be switched on or off throughout the course.
