SLHS Surfer Outreach at Ocean Beach

Student Academy of Audiology (SAA) President Jeremiah Dauphinais and crew held an event at Linda Mar Beach in Pacifica on November 2 and another event on November 8 at Ocean Beach in San Francisco. Their mission was to educate surfers about a condition called exostosis, bony growths that develop in the ear canal due to continual exposure to cold water. They ultimately inspected 160 ears and spoke with more than 30 groups of surfers. After ear inspections, the crew was able to provide some cautionary information on the use of earplugs and neoprene caps to help prevent this condition. Great work, SLHS students!
