Out of Hospital Audiology Clinic

Audiology clinical faculty and graduate students from the Doctor of Audiology Program offer out of hospital (OOH) audiology clinics for members of the Wisconsin Plain communities. Children in these communities are born at home with the assistance of a midwife, many do not receive newborn hearing screenings and very few receive any follow up care. Members of these communities typically have limited access to hearing healthcare. These clinics are hosted at various locations in rural Wisconsin, including the Center for Special Children in La Farge and the Augusta Senior Center.
