First-year Gallaudet AuD students Jenna, Isa, and Sasha recently worked with audiologists from ASHA to administer free hearing screenings at the Senate Wellness Fair.

Sasha said "it was an amazing opportunity to network with other members in our field as well as very rewarding to be able to educate and advocate the importance of hearing health and ear protection."

These students were even featured in the ASHA Advocate! Way to go!

Gallaudet AuD students had a wonderful opportunity to attend a presentation from the University of Cincinnati's FETCHLAB, which is a leader in animal audiology! The FETCHLAB performs ABRs and other hearing tests on an extensive list of animals including dogs, dolphins, elephants, cheetahs, lions, seals, walruses, reptiles, reindeer, otters, and more. They are also in the process of developing noise protection for military dogs.

Some fun facts from this presentation include:
1.) Many marine animals and reptiles hear via bone conduction through their mandible
2.) Elephants get the same five ABR waves as humans, but the latency is delayed. Waves start to pop up around 350ms
3.) Seals have to be tested using bone conduction, because they close their ear canals when under sedation.

Thank you everyone who attended!

Some of our students made cards to go out to residents of Schweinhaut Senior Center. What a great way to spread some cheer and warmth during this season! ID: Boomerang of a hand in a gray sweatshirt putting a red envelope in a blue USPS mail drop-off and then the video reversing to the envelope taken out. The other hand holds a stack of green and white envelopes.

At the Signing Starbucks with GLIP today! Got to order in ASL. Video description: blonde woman in a gray sweatshirt at Starbucks counter signs, "Iced green tea L-E-M-O-N-A-D-E." Man with black shirt, green Starbucks apron and hat signs, "Lemonade? Yes, sure." The woman signs, "Yes, lemonade, thank you!"

Got to try out the video phones in the Student Academic Center today during GLIP (Graduate Languacultural Immersion Program). Visual description: a woman sits on the left side signing to a camera on the right. Below the camera is a screen mirroring the woman signing on the left and an interpreter to the right.
