This professional resource is designed to decrease language barriers, improve patient–clinician interactions, and create more culturally competent hearing services.

Written by a clinician for clinicians who are working daily with minority communities experiencing existing systemic barriers, the book begins with an overview of cultural competence and the barriers that exist in audiology services. The text continues with an evidence-based, cross-cultural approach to addressing some of those barriers and a discussion of what professionals can do in their own clinical settings. The final section is a language tool presented in both English and Spanish to aid clinicians as they communicate and work with Spanish-speaking patients.
