role of hearing health care providers, best practices, hearing aids
and other auditory implantable devices), communication access options
(e.g., assistive listening devices, speech-to-text options, alerting
devices, telecommunications options), and resources (an extensive

auditory signals in our environments (e.g., phones ringing, door
