Play On: Succeeding in Sports and Recreation with Hearing Loss
May 19th at 7:00 PM
Participating in sports and recreation can come with unique challenges for individuals with hearing loss, from communication barriers to navigating team environments and fast-paced settings. At the same time, with the right supports, strategies, and self-advocacy skills, individuals with hearing loss can thrive and succeed in these spaces.
This session will explore real-life experiences in both recreational and competitive settings, highlighting practical accommodations, communication strategies, and the importance of advocacy. Presenters will share personal journeys, challenges, and successes, along with insights for athletes, families, and recreation professionals on how to create more inclusive and supportive environments.
Beyond the Audiogram: Understanding Auditory Processing Disorder and Auditory Neuropathy
May 14th at 12:30 PM
A normal audiogram does not always mean normal auditory function. Many individuals with normal hearing levels struggle to hear in noisy environments. Others hear what is said, but can’t quite make sense of it, or have difficulty interpreting tone, intent, or meaning.
These challenges can significantly impact communication, academic success, job performance, and social connection. This session moves beyond the audiogram to explore Auditory Neuropathy and Auditory Processing Disorder, including how these conditions are diagnosed, the challenges individuals experience, and strategies for support and management.
