Hey there,
Dr. Ashley B. Thom, back again with another edition of the Selective Hearing newsletter.
October is an exciting month in the audiological world. While many people are out dreaming of pumpkins and scary costumes (which is also great fun!), we are all celebrating National Audiology Awareness Month (NAAM)!
Since it was started in 2009 by the American Academy of Audiology, October has been the month dedicated to increasing awareness about hearing health and the importance of hearing protection.
In honor of this great month, we have some exciting resources for you to read through. If you head over to our social media pages, you can help us out by sharing the great content we have coming up. Join in and spread awareness for better hearing health far and wide! We would really appreciate your help in making this happen.
For now, we have some interesting resources, some fun facts, and health tips to keep you going.

Most of us have felt the detrimental effects of stress on our bodies at some point in our lives, but stress can also harm our hearing. Too much stress can bring on temporary hearing loss and even bouts of tinnitus.
If you’re having a hard time at work or life seems a bit full-on, make some time for yourself and unwind. Some meditation, a hot bubble bath, or a good book are all great ways to relax and will have a positive effect on not just your hearing but also your whole body!

Deep in the forests of Brazil, there lives a tiny frog called a Pumpkin Toadlet. They are so small that they are roughly the size of the tip of an adult’s finger!
These small amphibians don’t have ears in the traditional sense but instead have a special disk behind their eyes that picks up various vibrations. Because of this and because their call is so soft, pumpkin toadlets are entirely deaf to the sound of their own calls!
