/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- HearingLife, a leader in delivering
life-changing, personalized hearing care across 42 states, today
announced the recipients of the "HearingLife Scholarship for
Audiology Students." Skylar
Vandekerkhove (Wayne State
University), Morgan Brenk
(Towson University) and Audie Gilchrist (University
of Louisville) will receive $5,000 towards their Spring 2024 semester.
"At HearingLife, we're all about helping
people hear better!" says Interim President Matt Reilly. "Making sure students can afford to
receive their audiology degrees is crucial to the future of hearing
care, regardless of where they end up working. We're proud to
help."
The scholarship program, which launched last December, was
created to help ensure the future of the audiology profession, and
was open to students in their first three years of the
doctoral-level audiology programs at the University of Louisville, Towson University, or Wayne
State University.

"At HearingLife, it's the level of care we provide that sets us
apart," said HearingLife Chief Audiologist
Leslie Soiles. "I'm proud to support the careers of future
audiologists and demonstrate the importance of life-changing
hearing care."
Approximately 48 million Americans have hearing loss and the
number of adults with hearing loss in the U.S. is expected to
double by 2060*. The need for qualified, compassionate hearing care
professionals is clear.
"The Doctor of Audiology degree is a valuable program that
requires intensive clinical and academic training and this training
comes with a significant tuition cost," explains Mary Kassa, Au.D., Audiology Program Coordinator
at Wayne State University. "By offering
this generous award, HearingLife is alleviating some of the
financial concerns students encounter. What a wonderful way to
invest in future audiologists!"
HearingLife operates more than 600 locations nationwide and
employs hearing care professionals with a variety of credentials,
including a Doctorate of Audiology, Hearing Instrument Specialists,
and more. Ensuring that as many people as possible pursue this
career is key to the quality of life for millions of Americans with
hearing loss.
