This month's resource highlight is: The Art of Thinking Clearly is an international bestseller written by Swiss author Rolf Dobelli that maps out 99 common cognitive biases and logical fallacies that cloud human judgment. It acts as a practical guide to help readers spot systematic deviations from rational thought, allowing them to avoid repetitive mistakes in their personal, financial, and professional lives.

Why audiologists should read it:
This book can help audiologists recognize cognitive biases that may influence clinical judgment, communication, and decision-making. It encourages more deliberate, evidence-based thinking—an essential skill when evaluating patients and making recommendations.

For Paolo Cordero, AuD, a first-time attendee in 2025, the CAA Annual Conference offered more than education—it provided an opportunity to connect with the audiology community, gain new perspectives, and return to his work with renewed inspiration.

That’s what the CAA Annual Conference is all about: meaningful connections, valuable education, and inspiration you can bring back to your patients and practice.

👏 Congratulations to the Illinois Academy of Audiology on their advocacy efforts that helped move Senate Bill 2838 into law. The passage of SB2838 makes Illinois the first state in the nation to enact legislation specifically designed to strengthen consumer protections and improve transparency for hearing care plans.

CAA was proud to support this landmark legislation alongside audiology organizations from across the country. This achievement represents an important step forward in protecting patients, promoting transparency, and advancing access to informed hearing healthcare decisions.

Hearing care doesn't stop at the ears.

• The role of aural rehabilitation in improving patient outcomes
• Practical strategies for integrating brain-focused care into contemporary hearing practice
• How a more comprehensive approach can enhance communication and quality of life

Discover how treating the brain as well as the ears can transform the patient experience at the CAA 2026 Annual Conference.
