Audio-Digest Foundation Announces the Release of Family Practice Volume 61, Issue 41: Topics in Otolaryngology.

The goal of this program is to improve diagnosis and management of gastroesophageal reflux symptoms and sensorineural hearing loss. After hearing and assimilating this program, the clinician will be better able to:

1. Identify patients with reflux symptoms who are candidates for upper endoscopy. 2. Counsel patients with reflux symptoms about lifestyle modifications. 3. Select appropriate dosing of proton pump inhibitors and/or H2-blockers for treatment of reflux. 4. Use strategies to effectively communicate with patients with hearing loss. 5. Discuss consequences of hearing loss and recommend treatment options.

The original programs were presented by William D. Chey, MD, Professor of Medicine, H. Marvin Pollard Institute Scholar, Director, Gastrointestinal Physiology Laboratory, and Co-Director, Michigan Bowel Control Program, University of Michigan Health System, Ann Arbor, and Sarah Sydlowski, AuD, PhD, Audiology Director, Hearing Implant Program, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH.
