#  Incorporating Humanitarian Audiology in Your Practice

**Presentation Date:** 18 October 2020

**Duration:** 1:09:30

**Return to:** [AuDacity Archive](https://www.audiologist.org/audacity-archive)

In an era of disruption, we can easily lose sight of why we became audiologists. Most of us got into this field because we want to help people hear, yet we find ourselves fighting third party payers, fretting over OTC, and worrying about big box stores. There are many opportunities to help people who otherwise wouldn’t have access to hearing healthcare. Humanitarian audiology can take place at home or abroad. Have you ever considered starting your own non-profit or joining an international audiology humanitarian trip? We will talk about the impact of “give-back” on you, your employees, your current patients and the new people whose lives you could change by giving the gift of hearing.

**Speakers:** Deborah Clark, Au.D.; Jane Baxter, Au.D.
