The PEI Podcast

The Pennsylvania Ear Institute (PEI) launched a new podcast led by Rebecca Blaha, AuD, Osborne College of Audiology (OCA) assistant professor and Aaron Roman, AuD, CCC-A, FAAA, OCA clinical educator. The podcast covers a variety of topics, both student and patient-focused, ranging from factors affecting the cost of hearing aids to auditory processing disorders. Its main purpose is education, but Drs. Blaha and Roman also hope to give listeners an inside look at the dynamic of the Audiology program at Salus. Transcriptions of each podcast are posted online, but future goals include incorporating video, with closed captioning for hearing-impaired viewers, as well as listener feedback.
