Audiology Department Offers Care to Special Needs Athletes

On Wednesday, Nov. 2, 2022, the Audiology Department continued its long history with Special Olympics of Florida by providing hearing care to athletes with special needs.

Students from the second-year class tested the athletes’ hearing. Those athletes who were found to have permanent hearing loss were evaluated for new hearing aids.

Hearing aids will be provided through the Starkey Cares program, which has partnered with Special Olympics International for the past year.  Eight athletes were evaluated with four of them needing new amplification.

Thank you to the students and faculty who participated in the event.
