Why is an educational audiologist a critical part of a DHH student's support team?
Educational audiologists are members of the school multidisciplinary team who facilitate listening, learning and communication access via specialized assessments; monitor personal hearing instruments; recommend, fit and manage hearing assistance technology; provide and recommend support services and resources; and advocate on behalf of the students.
Educational audiologists provide evidence for needed services and technology, emphasize access skills and supports, counsel children to promote personal responsibility and self-advocacy, maintain student performance levels, collaborate with clinical audiologists, help student transitions and team with other school professions to work most effectively to support student learning.

Aloha (Hello!)
My name is Ka'iulani "Kuki" Moku-Paiva
I am a licensed educational audiologist and I am passionate about supporting students with hearing differences as well as the family members and educators who support them. I am dedicated to ensuring that all students have the support they need to develop language and thrive in the communication method of their choice.
Better Together Audiology is based in Oakland. However, we strive to serve as many students in California as possible through in-person and remote consultation and direct services.
