Audiology Events

On May 17^th the USF Au.D. program teamed with the Greater Tampa Sertoma Club for a SafeEars presentation at Turner Elementary in Tampa. A total of 150 5^th grade students participated in the event. The students entered the auditorium to the song “Turn It to the Left” playing in the background. Four Au.D. students, assisted by Dr. Lisa Hansel, presented a Hearing Conservation slideshow and conducted a rousing question-and-answer session. The 5^th graders were then divided into smaller groups and provided with goodie bags containing ear plugs, a hearing terminology word-search puzzle, and basic instructions for protecting their hearing. They practiced proper ear plug insertion and were rewarded with stickers. (left to right) Lisa Hansel, Au.D.; Brooke Worthington; Nada Hanna; Katie Austin; Darby Blake
