Student perspective
“Screening my peers has been a learning experience. Hearing loss is an invisible disability. Seeing my peers and helping them understand why they can’t hear or are struggling feels more personal, and I can connect with them.”
– Autumn McNeill, B.S. SPAU, Audiology Track, Class of 2026
