CAA News
Read the newly released issue of the CanadianAudiologist, the official publication of the Canadian Academy of Audiology (CAA). Among some of the articles we have:
- Connecting those with hearing loss to surgical centres when hearing aids are not enough
- The effects of shooting glasses on earmuff attenuation
- Pricing in Audiology
- Successful transition to Kindergarten for deaf and hard of hearing students
- How an eggshell membrane fed a German ENT family
- Optimizing Listening and Spoken Language Outcomes: What Audiologists (and Families) should expect from early interventionists
- Sounds disrupt balance in people with vestibular disorders
We also have well thought-out columns in areas where you may not normally tread. In short, this issue of CanadianAudiologist.ca has something for everyone.
I hope you are enjoying the snow and it’s not too early to begin planning for our annual conference of the Canadian Academy of Audiology Oct 15-18 in Collingwood, Ontario. (Actually there is a neat Pre-con of Wednesday Oct. 14)!
