Hello fellow AuDies,
A friend recommended this site and I thought I'd share this. It's called, "Ida Institute" and it is a non-profit educational organization based in Denmark. Their mission is unique in that they strive to provide a "holistic understanding of the complex journey of hearing loss" to hearing impaired individuals and hearing care professionals.
The organization provides some solid insight for hearing care professionals/audiologists about considering the person as a whole instead of simply attempting to treat the hearing impairment alone. The "Tool Room" on their website offers professionals some practical learning and teaching techniques, which are time friendly but involve a holistic approach. Just note that a user account is necessary to access the tools, but it's free and it only takes a minute. It's worth it since they provide multiple resources for each type of tool including videos of mock scenarios between clinician and patient and excellent examples.
You can also view full lecture presentations given by well-known members in the audiology field. The presentations are available for download. There is a forum as well for member discussions. It's definitely a must see website.
Enjoy!
