This investigation examined noise characteristics across multiple campus settings and explored how cumulative exposure may relate to hearing conservation and noise-induced hearing loss awareness among young adults.

🍎💬 Celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week & National Speech-Language-Hearing Month!

Educational audiologists spend our days supporting student communication access, and we know none of this work would be possible without our teachers, speech-language pathologists, and other school-based team members. We offer a big thank you to all of these professionals who work with us every day to support students who are deaf and hard of hearing.
