Day 3 at the Vestibular Diagnostics and Rehabilitation Workshop 🎓

Today marked the final day of our incredible learning journey in Eden Prairie, MN! Our team, Tina, Giana, and Casey, wrapped up the workshop with insightful sessions on tests and techniques that can aid vestibular physical therapists in providing comprehensive care.

We deepened our understanding of various diagnostic tools and how they integrate with vestibular therapy to enhance patient outcomes. This knowledge will undoubtedly elevate the quality of care we offer at Audiology Associates.

We are immensely grateful for this opportunity to learn and grow. Thank you to the organizers and instructors for an unforgettable experience. We can't wait to implement these new skills and continue delivering top-notch audiology services to our Santa Rosa community.

Stay tuned for more updates and advancements from our dedicated team!

Day 2 at the Vestibular Diagnostics and Rehabilitation Workshop 🌟

Our team at Audiology Associates is having an amazing time at the workshop in Eden Prairie, MN! Today, Tina, Giana, and Casey delved into the fascinating world of the Video Head Impulse Test (vHIT) and practiced Calorics.

📚 We started the day with an introduction to the background, process, and interpretation of vHIT. This course covered the underlying physiology and theory behind this vital assessment tool and provided a step-by-step demonstration of how to perform the measurement. We also explored various case studies to understand the normal and abnormal results, discussing the conclusions and limitations of vHIT.

🎓 It's been an incredible learning experience, and we're excited to bring this knowledge back to Santa Rosa to continue providing exceptional care to our patients.

Stay tuned as we wrap up this educational journey tomorrow!

Who said learning can't be FUN!? 🔄🤸🏼‍♀️

From July 17th – 19th, our dedicated team members Tina, Giana, and Casey are attending the Vestibular Diagnostics and Rehabilitation Workshop in Eden Prairie, MN. At Audiology Associates, we believe that ongoing education is essential to providing the best care, and this event was a fantastic opportunity to deepen our expertise.

A special shoutout to Giana, who took a hands-on approach on Day 1, mastering BPPV maneuvers for vertigo using the incredible TRV Chair. This unique tool allows examiners to rotate patients 360 degrees along the plane of each semicircular canal and lock them in any position for a detailed examination. Giana's dedication to learning and applying these advanced techniques ensures that we remain at the forefront of audiology care.

We're excited to bring this knowledge back to Santa Rosa and continue providing top-notch care to our community. Stay tuned for more updates on our team's educational adventures!

🌟 We had a fantastic time at the Santa Rosa Senior Expo 2024! 🌟

This year, our team had the pleasure of attending the event at the Finley Center Senior Wing. It was wonderful to connect with so many members of our community and share our passion for better hearing health.

Our dedicated employees, Tina, Hailey, and Xochil, enjoyed discussing our comprehensive audiology services and answering your questions. We're committed to helping you achieve the best hearing possible.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth and made this event a memorable one! If you missed us at the expo or want to learn more about our services, don’t hesitate to reach out or visit our website.

Stay tuned for more community events and updates from Audiology Associates!

Happy 4th of July from Audiology Associates! 🇺🇸🎆

As we celebrate Independence Day with family, friends, and fireworks, let's remember to take care of our hearing health too! 🎇

Fireworks can be thrilling, but they're also loud enough to potentially cause hearing damage. Remember to keep a safe distance and consider wearing earplugs or earmuffs to protect your ears.

And don't forget about our furry friends! Fireworks can be frightening for pets, especially dogs with sensitive hearing. Keep them indoors and create a calming environment to help them feel safe.

Wishing you a safe and enjoyable holiday from all of us at Audiology Associates! 🎉

With aging’s growing influence on vision and hearing, it is estimated that by 2030, as many as 14 million older U.S. adults will develop Dual Sensory Loss (DSL). Think about it, when two of the body's five senses are not functioning optimally, activities of daily living can be challenging. For too many, DSL reduces quality of life by limiting physical, emotional, and social capacities.
