“Ask Me About Audiology” Campaign

“Ask Me About Audiology” (AMAA) is a week-long campaign run annually by the Student Academy of Audiology (SAA) and will be entering its seventh year starting October 18–23, 2021. AMAA has easily become a Fall semester staple for many local SAA chapters. SAA chapters across the nation have held 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.

During National Audiology Awareness Month, encourage your family and friends to practice healthy hearing habits such as wearing hearing protection.
