DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The American Academy of Audiology's second annual Academy Research Conference (ARC) 2010, entitled "In with the Old: New Research on Aging and Hearing Health," will convene April 14, 2010, the first day of the Academy's prestigious Audiology NOW!(r) Annual convention, in San Diego, California. ARC 2010 is designed to engage audiologists who want a better understanding of the latest aging research and its implications for their practices. The conference is equally designed to engage scientists who want to hear about the latest research on aging of the auditory system from a select group of researchers in this field. Doctoral students in audiology and the hearing sciences will also have the opportunity to hear and participate in these thought-provoking discussions. The elderly represent the most rapidly growing segment in the U.S. population. Understanding age-related changes to auditory and cognitive function, from the periphery to the auditory portions of the cortex, has considerable clinical significance on the audiological diagnosis and treatment of hearing loss in the elderly, which can have far-reaching consequences on their communication and quality of life. The conference's keynote address will open the discussions with a look at the demographics and risk factors associated with age-related hearing loss. The address will be followed by discussions of six critical areas related to aging and hearing health: the auditory periphery, auditory perception and hearing aids, central auditory neurobiology, clinical electrophysiology, cognition and speech perception, and cognitive factors impacting aural rehabilitation. The conference will conclude with a panel discussion that will challenge participants to look at future directions and treatments for the audiological care of the elderly. ARC 2010 reflects the Academy's ongoing commitment to fostering the accessibility and transparency of research in audiology clinical practice in areas of critical need and impact. Over 100 scientists, clinicians, and doctoral students attended the Academy's inaugural ARC 2009 on Otoacoustic Emissions, "Improving Practice through Science," which was held in conjunction with the Academy's 2009 annual convention in Dallas, Texas. Over 200 are anticipated at ARC 2010 as this research conference series continues with critical discussions on aging and hearing health. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Understanding changes to auditory and cognitive function in the elderly, the most rapidly growing segment in the U.S. population, has considerable significance on diagnosis and treatment of hearing loss, which can have far-reaching consequences on communication and quality of life. This application seeks support for the Academy Research Conference 2010: In with the Old - New Research on Aging and Hearing Health which will engage audiologists and scientists in addressing this important public health area.

描述（由申请人提供）：美国听力学学会的第二届年度学术研究会议（ARC）2010年，题为“在与旧：新的研究老化和听力健康，”将于2010年4月14日召开，第一天，该学会的著名听力学现在！(r)年度大会，在圣地亚哥，加州。ARC 2010旨在让听力学家更好地了解最新的衰老研究及其对他们实践的影响。该会议同样旨在吸引那些希望从该领域的一组精选研究人员那里了解听觉系统衰老最新研究的科学家。听力学和听力科学的博士生也将有机会听到并参与这些发人深省的讨论。 老年人是美国人口中增长最快的群体。了解听觉和认知功能的年龄相关变化，从周边到皮层的听觉部分，对老年人听力损失的听力学诊断和治疗具有相当大的临床意义，这可能对他们的交流和生活质量产生深远的影响。会议的主题演讲将开始讨论与年龄相关的听力损失相关的人口统计学和风险因素。该地址之后将讨论与衰老和听力健康相关的六个关键领域：听觉周边，听觉感知和助听器，中枢听觉神经生物学，临床电生理学，认知和言语感知，以及影响听力康复的认知因素。会议将以小组讨论结束，该小组讨论将挑战与会者，探讨老年人听力保健的未来方向和治疗方法。 ARC 2010反映了该学院对促进听力学临床实践研究的可及性和透明度的持续承诺，这些研究领域具有关键需求和影响。100多名科学家、临床医生和博士生参加了该学院2009年关于耳声发射的首届ARC“通过科学改进实践”，该会议与该学院2009年在德克萨斯州达拉斯举行的年度大会同时举行。ARC 2010预计将有超过200人参加，该研究会议系列将继续就衰老和听力健康进行批判性讨论。 公共卫生相关性：了解老年人听觉和认知功能的变化，这是美国人口中增长最快的部分，对听力损失的诊断和治疗具有相当大的意义，这可能对沟通和生活质量产生深远的影响。此应用程序寻求支持学院研究会议2010年：在与老-新的研究老化和听力健康，这将从事听力学家和科学家在解决这一重要的公共卫生领域。
