Join us on Wednesday, May 15, 2024 at 1PM ET as Larry E. Humes, Ph.D., Distinguished Professor Emeritus, Department of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences, Indiana University presents Auditory Wellness: What is it? Why is it important? How can it be self-managed? What is the role of audiologists?
Learning Objectives:
After attending this seminar, the participant should be able to:
- “Auditory wellness” is critical to achieving a thriving well-being and overall satisfaction with life, yet millions of adults have reduced auditory wellness.
- “Auditory wellness” is not the same as “hearing wellness”, the latter tied exclusively to the pure-tone audiogram and only capturing the bodily-impairment component of healthy function.
- Over-the-Counter (OTC) hearing aids represent only one component of the process of improving auditory wellness. Training in communication strategies, in addition to or instead of the acquisition of devices, is as critical as the selection and fitting of the devices, yet few self-driven, easily accessible tools have been developed to meet the individual’s needs to date.
