Re: [HOHAudiologists] Re:AAA accommodations update - Clarity Withdrew

 
 How about:
 
National Association of Audiologists with Hearing Loss?
etc?
 
Love to see what other ideas others have!

Stacey,
That is a good idea.  It’s been tossed around before in the past.  Maybe we didn’t have enough members before to support the idea… maybe now we do.  I would like to see this happen as well.  Any ideas on a name for the group?  As you mentioned a name might give us a little boost.
Suzanne

 Hi,
 
I have a few minutes, and I thought I'd jot a quick note in reply. I have felt that the staff is not very well versed in accommodations (there has been a time when I had to really stick to my guns to sit right up front at the general assembly so I could better see the speakers!)
 
I am wondering if it would not be a bad idea to formally form an actual organization and membership (like NAFDA is a specific organization, or like AMPHL), and perhaps we can get more leverage that way, instead of being "that bunch of audiologists who are HoH/deaf". If we are able to become an actual organization, it could maybe get more attention to this growing population of audiologists who have hearing loss. Just a thought. 
 
-Stacey Lim, Au.D.
