It may be common knowledge among hearing health professionals in Canada that the month of May is Speech and Hearing month. However, I am quite certain that this is not top of mind for the general public. So, I challenge each of you to take time this month to reflect and ask yourself ‘What am…
Message from the President
Oh my goodness, it’s already March. In less than three weeks from now it will officially be spring. How is that possible? I have to admit my heart sinks slightly as I reflect on the challenges of the last twelve months. Fortunately, that sinking feeling is brief as the spring season always seems to bring…

Message from the President
As I typed my first “President’s Message,” never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined that the scene would look like this; me sitting at my computer wearing a surgical mask, trying not to fiddle with the nose piece as my glasses fog up, a monstrous bottle of hand sanitizer next to my keyboard,…
Message from the President
Dear CAA Members, As dedicated members of our Canadian healthcare system, Audiologists have had to suddenly expand their focus from how we service our patients yesterday and today to how we plan to provide our services in the months and years ahead.

Message from the President
Like all beautiful cities across Canada, Halifax is known for its unique personality. That is why I, admittedly, had some trepidation about the weather forecast for our 22nd CAA conference in October.

Even the brief downtown-wide power outtake did not dampen the enthusiasm. As Brent…

The Big Picture
It has been an honour and a privilege to serve as President of the Canadian Academy of Audiology this past year, 2017-2018. As an Academy, we have done some amazing work and we should pat ourselves on the back for all that we have accomplished. Through leadership, advocacy, education, research and increasing public awareness on…
Message from the President
I have been involved with many discussions with audiologist colleagues and friends about the issues surrounding stigma with hearing loss and hearing aids, lately. In my opinion, while we are slowly increasing awareness of audiology and audiologists in the world, we still have much more to do before the topic of hearing health care becomes…
