The Academy is proud to help support Balance Awareness Week—September 13–19, 2020.

Balance Awareness Week, an observance designated by the Vestibular Disorders Association (VeDA), aims to increase awareness about vestibular disorders and support patients in their journey back to balance. While many balance disorders are incurable, faster and more accurate diagnosis, along with effective coping strategies can greatly improve quality of life.

Audiologists play a key role in helping to diagnose and manage vestibular and balance disorders in adults and children.

The Academy has collaborated with VeDA to develop resources on hearing loss and balance and to help educate other health-care providers, the media, and consumers about the audiologist’s role in balance care.
