CaptionCall, a provider of captioned telephone service, announced the names of seven audiology graduate students who will each receive a $3,000 CaptionCall scholarship. Now in its fourth year, the scholarship aids students in pursuing their educational goals. This year, more than 80 students applied for the scholarship.

“The CaptionCall Scholarship is a way to support the field of audiology, the next generation of audiologists, and, in the long-term, overall hearing health,” says CaptionCall CEO Scott Wood. “Audiologists fulfill a crucial role in helping people with hearing loss make choices to stay connected and to continue to enjoy meaningful conversations.”

“I am so grateful for the opportunities the CaptionCall scholarship will give me in strengthening my abilities in evoked potential research, which measures how sound is processed in the nervous system from the ear to the brain,” notes Danielle Bubniak, a third-year, AuD/PhD dual-degree doctoral student at Syracuse University. “I am passionate about the pediatric population and this scholarship will help support my current projects pertaining to central auditory maturation during adolescence and future work studying the auditory outcomes of concussion.”

CaptionCall Vice President of Marketing Paul Kershisnik said CaptionCall strives to be a hearing health advocate to preserve social connectivity and independence for people experiencing hearing loss.
