I’m your host, Dr. Lilach Saperstein. It is January, 5th 2023, when I’m recording this in not the most ideal audio conditions to be honest, I’m in a very reverberant room. And that is because I got rid of a bunch of furniture in this office space /guest room that I record out of. And so it does sound, not the best, but I felt that it’s very important for me to model the fact that “perfection is the enemy of the good” and I miss you guys and I want to talk to you.  And I want to get a podcast episode out for you to tell you about the incredible, amazing community that we are coming together for this year in a project: All About You 52. All About You 52 is something I have really been percolating on for a long time. Well, let me explain it like this: a year and a half or so. We had our Connect And Advocate group with just a very small and intimate group of moms who all have Deaf or HoH children. And we came together three times a month, not exactly weekly, but very close and intense bond working together on how to advocate for your chi...

    All About Finding The Resources That Best Fit Your Family – Episode 91 with Dr. Karen Muñoz

    Read the full transcript here In this episode, Dr. Saperstain speaks with Dr. Karen Muñoz. Dr. Muñoz is an audiologist of many years and department head and professor of communicative disorders and deaf education at Utah state university. Dr. Karen Muñoz specialized in the administrative, educational, and research fields of audiology after spending many years as a clinical practitioner. She also started the Hear to Learn  (Oir para aprender) program which is a website with many resources for parents of children who are deaf or hard of hearing. This week on the All About Audiology podcast: * 9:15 – Parents are the key to how intervention is going to go for their child. And what I would like parents to really embrace is how essential they are. * 12:35 – Oftentimes audiologists want to focus on the technical stuff. We got a lot we do have to care about and we have to care about what’s happening with the parent and their thoughts and feelings that can interfere with what goes on every single day that they’re with a child * 15:50 – The resources that bridge the hearing care team and the parents. * 20:00 –  Even when parents get a “hearing aid care kit”  too often, they don’t use it, or don’t know what to do with it. * 23:05 –  How parents can make informed decisions.  * 27:10 – And I think as ethical professionals It’s about having those conversations about what are their underlying thoughts, feelings, and questions. That’s where we focus our efforts to be, that support for the families and helping them get what they need * 29:30 – We are in a really key position to make sure they have the information that they need, we are not in the position to tell them what they have to do, but we’re there to help them have confidence!

    All About A Hearing Aid Lending Program – Episode 89 

    Read the full transcript here On episode 89 of the All About Audiology podcast, Dr. Lilach Saperstein speaks with audiologist Batya Jacob. Batya is an audiologist by profession and also is the founder of a free hearing aid lending program. When Batya shares the origin story behind the program, when her son needed to get hearing aids, she realized that medical insurance in general doesn’t cover hearing aids and that they are quite expensive.

Contact batyaj@ou.org for more information.  This week on the All About Audiology podcast:    * 7:00 –  Since hearing aids are expensive, parents may want to put money aside in a special place for the future’s sake. * 8:00 – Most medical insurance companies do not cover the cost of hearing aids * 10:40 -If a hard of hearing child is prescribed the use of hearing aids, it’s important that they have access to properly fit hearing aids as soon as possible * 21:00 – The earlier young individuals learn about inclusion, the more likely they will be attuned to equitable access as an adult, employer, etc. * 25:00 – It is so powerful when a community promotes a sense of collective sharing in order to take care of each other! * 29:00 – Give your child the proper time and attention that they deserve in order for them to reach their full potential.
