WHO estimates that 466 million people globally are affected by disabling hearing loss (34 million children of which 60% is preventable), indicating an urgent need for intervention. US Audiologists can play a pivotal role in aiding these individuals by participating in humanitarian work. Audiologists not only help provide life-changing care to underserved communities but also experience personal and professional growth, exposure to diverse cultures and ways to enhance their own practice at home. This session will explore the “whys” and “hows” to becoming more active globally and in their own communities returning to their practices reinvigorated and inspired.

Participants:

  • Will be able to explain the worldwide need for hearing healthcare as described by the World Health Organization
  • Will be able to describe how providing hearing healthcare access on a humanitarian trip has an impact on their business at home
  • Will be able to discuss the successes and challenges of creating hearing healthcare sustainability in low income countries
