Audiology Today
Audiology Today is a bimonthly magazine that provides comprehensive reporting on topics relevant to audiology.
Mental Health First Aid Across the Life Span
Hearing and balance conditions are known to coincide with a host of health-related issues, including mental health. Audiologists need to be able to identify when emotional and psychological well-being is at risk in patients we serve. Several models exist for delivering difficult information, and we as audiologists must understand the signs of potential mental health crisis and feel comfortable discussing how to handle conversations surrounding mental health.
Implementing a Protocol for Patients with Acquired Brain Injury in an Audiology Practice
Patients with acquired brain injury are not routinely referred to audiologists, and audiologists are rarely a part of the interprofessional practice team. Working with this population provides an opportunity for our profession to demonstrate our significance in the medical arena and to facilitate the opportunity to enhance communication for those who have had strokes and other types of acquired brain injuries.

Tele-audiology is growing at a rapid pace, providing new ways for audiologists to practice and offering convenient care to nontraditional patients. From researching new patient populations and new technologies, to creating new platform capabilities and ways to educate audiologists, tele-audiology companies continue to fill an important role in the future of audiology.
