When was the last time you had someone deaf or hard of hearing in your chair at the dentist? And do you know how to make this person's appointment accessible?

Tune in to episode 25 of the Talk Dental to Me podcast with my special guest Amanda Zubricki (@that.deaf.girl) who is a registered dental hygienist navigating the dental world.

Amanda's journey is inspiring and she opens up about her dental hygiene journey, what it was it like growing up profoundly deaf and her experience of people discouraging her to apply for dental hygiene. Amanda bet all the odds and is now a speaker, hearing loss advocate and entrepreneur.

HIGHLIGHTS:

- What can dental schools or programs do to make learning easier for people who are hard of hearing?

-How can CE providers or dental professionals who provide continuing education make their webinars accessible?

-As a provider, what questions should we ask a deaf patient to accommodate them during an appointment?

- Unpacking hearing loss myths
