Abigail Weyerman collaborated with local community resources to conduct hearing screenings. Individuals who did not pass the screening were then given a survey to assess stigma related to hearing loss. Individuals were provided referrals for further assessment and resources for reduced cost treatment.
Project Results
- more than 40 individuals living with untreated hearing loss were identified.
- A clinical placement for Doctor of Audiology students was established to serve individuals in rural Alabama.
- Hearing aids were collected and refurbished and will continue to be provided to individuals in need at a reduced cost.
