Hearing Loss 101: Student to Student

a Spark Webinar designed to enhance your learning and spark new ideas

 

Spark is excited to host a webinar presented by audiology students, Becca Civil, Ellen Jones, and Sarah Wright. As members of the Student Academy of Audiology (SAA), these JMU students were motivated to engage in education and advocacy, thus sparking this interprofessional webinar. The presentation will include an overview of how to identify, refer and treat clients with hearing loss. There will also be discussion of hearing aids, including a hearing aid demonstration. While the presentation is designed for SLPs, Audiology students are also welcome and encouraged to attend! Don’t miss out on this opportunity to explore the subject of hearing loss and engage in interaction between the Audiology and Speech Language Pathology disciplines within JMU’s CSD department.
