“Ask Me About Audiology” Campaign
“Ask Me About Audiology” (AMAA) is a campaign run annually by the Student Academy of Audiology (SAA) and is celebrating its eighth year in 2022. AMAA has become a staple of students in the Fall semester, celebrated on campuses all over. SAA chapters across the nation hold local AMAA events, such as passing out earplugs at sporting events, setting up a booth in a farmer’s market, and conducting interviews of SAA members for a social media series!
The campaign seeks to empower students to educate members of the local community about hearing healthcare, the impact of hearing loss/noise exposure, and the profession of audiology.
Follow the SAA on Instagram or Facebook to see student-themed content for National Audiology Awareness Month.
