ATSU's Doctor of Audiology program holds 2024 E.A.R. Day

The Doctor of Audiology (AuD) program at A.T. Still University's Arizona School of Health Sciences (ATSU-ASHS) hosted its ninth annual Education And Recreation (E.A.R.) Day on Saturday, Oct. 19, 2024.

First organized in 2015 by ATSU-ASHS alumna Lisa Bell, AuD, '16, after Dr. Bell received a grant from the National Student Academy of Audiology (SAA), E.A.R. Day brings together Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing children, along with their parents and friends, to enjoy a fun-filled day of games, activities, and educational sessions. Parents were provided with opportunities to learn more about hearing protection, communication strategies, local resources, and more.

This year's event was organized by E.A.R. Day committee members Jenna Vekariya, '26; Lauren Hawkes, '26; and Alyssa Richards, '27. Approximately 60 ATSU students from different residential programs volunteered, along with 10 ATSU faculty members.
