If you’re an audiology student looking to make a meaningful contribution in your community while gaining hands-on experience, the national Student Academy of Audiology (SAA) invites you to participate in its annual “Ask Me About Audiology” (AMAA) Campaign. This is your chance to educate the public, promote hearing health, and raise awareness about the profession of audiology.
What Is the AMAA Campaign?
The AMAA Campaign is an initiative led by national SAA that empowers students to engage with their local communities. The goal? To spread awareness about:
- Hearing healthcare
- The impact of hearing loss and noise exposure
- The role of audiologists in improving quality of life
Whether you’re tabling at a local event or launching a social media challenge, the campaign is all about sparking conversations and educating the public.
Tools to Help You Get Started
National SAA provides a cache of resources to help you plan and execute your campaign:
- Printable Academy Fact Sheets on hearing health topics
- Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) infographics
- Myth vs. Fact posters and handouts
- “Ask an Audiologist” business cards
- Social media tools and animated GIFs
- Templates for flyers and your audiology “elevator pitch”
These materials make it easy to create a professional and informative presence at any event.
Ideas for Hosting Your Own AMAA Event
You don’t need a big budget or a huge team to make a difference. Here are some creative ways to participate:
- Join a health fair or community walk
- Pass out earplugs at a sporting or music event
- Give a presentation at a local school or senior center
- Launch a social media challenge to engage peers and allied health students
You can also collaborate with other student organizations in fields like medicine, dentistry, or optometry to broaden your reach.
