How One Educational Audiologist Connects School and Clinic

During Educational Audiology Awareness Week (October 19–23, 2026), EAA celebrated this year's theme, Connect, Collaborate, Cultivate: Driving Student Outcomes. Educational audiologists are in a unique spot: they work on interdisciplinary teams within schools and partner with the outside clinical providers who manage the healthcare of children who are Deaf or hard of hearing.

We asked members to share first-hand experiences with that kind of collaboration. Dr. Hilary Davis, educational audiologist with Metro Nashville Public Schools and a past president of EAA, shared her experiences with us.
