Sharing Research Opportunity:

Health Equity & ASL Communicators

We will engage in research to understand—with the aim of addressing—health disparities among individuals who communicate using American Sign Language (ASL). To explore health equity for this population, we will use a science- and justice-based model for understanding multiple spheres of influence on health outcomes, the Health Equity Framework (Peterson et al., 2021).

For questions or to sign up to participate:

A big hello from little Raven 👋

In the early stages of her hearing dog training, she's been doing a super job working on her 'Sit' and 'Wait', perfecting those perfect puppy dog eyes, and having lots of fun posing for the camera.

Keep it up Raven 🐾🥰

October is National Protect Your Hearing Month — a great reminder that your hearing health is worth protecting!

Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) remains one of the leading causes of hearing loss, alongside age-related changes. Consistent exposure to loud environments — whether at work, during recreation, or from everyday noise — can damage the delicate structures of the inner ear over time.

The good news is that NIHL is largely preventable.

➡️ Use hearing protection in loud settings.
➡️ Take listening breaks.
➡️ Keep volume levels at a safe range.

Protecting your hearing today helps preserve it for years to come!
