The auction items include electric guitars signed by Aerosmith, Lady Antebellum, the Dave Matthews Band, Buddy Guy, and O.A.R., all donated to the cause by Sensaphonics president and founder Dr. Michael Santucci. Additional autographed items include a framed gold record by Coldplay and concert poster from Umphrey's McGee.
"Promoting hearing health among musicians is our mission, and we're thrilled to once again work with the Foundation toward funding additional, much-needed research in this area," says Santucci. "We're pleased to make these donations to the cause, and encourage music fans everywhere to visit the auction site and bid on these unique autographed items."

The American Academy of Audiology Foundation is an independent non profit organisation. The Foundation's mission is to promote philanthropy in support of research, education and public awareness in audiology and hearing science. All donations are tax deductible.
