In this special episode of the EmpowEAR Audiology Podcast, host Dr. Carrie Spangler honors Educational Audiology Awareness Week 2025 with notable guests in the educational audiology field: Dr. Cheryl DeConde Johnson and Dr. Kristin Samuelson.

Cheryl and Kristin share their professional journeys and the collective advocacy behind the Certificate Holder in Educational Audiology (CH-EdAud) program, developed through the collaboration of the American Board of Audiology and the Educational Audiology Association. This program strengthens professional identity, raises awareness of the vital role educational audiologists play in schools, and ensures better outcomes for students who are deaf or hard of hearing.

From program development and system change to direct school-based support, our guests highlight the power of educational audiology to make a difference. Whether you’re a seasoned audiologist, a new educational audiologist, or thinking about making a switch, this episode is for you!
