UW Audiology Joins UW Volleyball at the Silent Set Match!

UW Audiology was honored to join UW Volleyball for their first-ever Silent Set Match on Wednesday night! This incredible event shone a spotlight on the d/Deaf and hard of hearing community while promoting education, resources, and funding for hearing health.

Doctor of Audiology graduate students had the privilege of connecting with fans, sharing knowledge about hearing and hearing loss, and handing out earplugs to support safe listening. And of course, the group cheered for the Badgers in sign language, and with their voices after the Silent Set!
