According to the conference organizers, the scientific program will combine “keynotes as well as featured and invited talks with scientific contributions to highlight the wide range of world-class research and hot topics in computational audiology.”
Veterans Day is an important opportunity to not only show our deep gratitude to those who have served our country, but to highlight the issues that impact them the most. Sara Burdak, AuD, explains why working with veterans with hearing loss and tinnitus is a privilege.
There is a need to improve awareness and to better understand the impact and struggles of people who have unilateral hearing loss (UHL), the professionals who treat them, and those who work, live, and socialize with them. With better awareness comes better understanding, so health professionals can refer them rather than dismiss them. Moreover, better understanding can fuel motivation and allow the person with UHL to be more proactive about managing the condition while reducing anxiety.
