As an Audiology major, I thought it would be fun to start a myspace page and blog where I can share information about hearing and related topics.
I've come across plenty of people who have never heard of an audiologist... No worries, here is a quick description. According to ASHA.org, audiologists are experts in the non-medical management of the auditory and balance systems. They specialize in the study of:
-Normal & impaired hearing
-Prevention of hearing loss
-Identification, evaluation and assessment of hearing and balance problems
-Rehabilitation of persons with hearing and balance disorders
-Dispensing hearing aids and other amplification systems
As boring as it may seem at first, the phenomena of hearing is actually fascinating! I hope to bring awareness to the younger generations as we are becoming more and more technologically savvy in our society and we should be careful about noise exposure. I personally love listening to music and use my iPod regularly, just at a safe volume level.
Communicating with family, friends and loved-ones is a huge part of our lives and we shouldn't take it for granted!
