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.

Graduate Student Spotlight- Noelle [SPRING2021]

  Once again we have a Graduate Student Spotlight for Audiology!!! Noelle is a first year AuD student. Hi everyone! My name is Noelle Steele and I am from Pottsville, Pennsylvania. I am a first-year graduate student in JMU’s Doctor of Audiology program. I graduated from Marywood University in May of 2020 with my B.S. in Communication Sciences and Disorders. My journey to graduate school is a bit unique because I finished my undergraduate degree in just three years. I started in a 5-year speech pathology program (3 + 2 program) and decided to opt out of my master’s in speech pathology to pursue audiology instead. During my undergraduate career, I spent my time assisting and teaching in daycares both on campus and at home. This allowed me to work very closely with children and thus, I learned how to quickly build rapport with them. I worked as an early learner instructor for preschool age children at Kumon Math and Reading Center in Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania, which is an after-scho...

             With new students, new faculty, and a new Health and Behavioral Studies building, the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders is excited to kick off a new school year! The undergraduate peer advisors would like to introduce one of our newest faculty members, Dr. Geralyn Timler.

Johnny Depp: Actor, Musician, and....Hearing aid fitter?

At a music festival in Rio de Janeiro, Johnny Depp and his Hollywood Vampire band mates, Alice Cooper and Joe Perry, delivered more than just the gift of music; they also gave the gift of sound. The artists along with the Starkey Hearing Foundation helped fit customized hearing devices for over two hundred people while on tour. The people who received the devices varied in age, and their hearing losses varied from developmental to acquired. The musicians described the experience as moving, and the clients they served were delighted with their new devices. The Starkey Hearing Foundation holds events all over the world in order to give hearing aids to those in need. They've donated 1.6 million hearing aids to people in over 100 countries. There are many humanitarian foundations that deliver hearing devices to individuals in third world countries. One of our very own professors, Dr. Ryals, worked towards a cause similar to this in Kenya with HEARt of the Village, a non-profit grou...
