In this episode of Science Meets the Sound Booth, host Emily Venskytis is joined by special guest co-host Dr. Erin Piker, editor-in-chief of the Journal of the American Academy of Audiology (JAAA), and Dr. Chizuko Tamaki to discuss the recent JAAA article, Activities-Specific Balance Confidence (ABC) Scale in American Sign Language(opens in new tab). Together, they explore the importance of language access, the connection between hearing and vestibular function, and how culturally and linguistically appropriate clinical tools can help improve patient care.
