More than 21 million infants, children and adults in America suffer from some degree of hearing loss in one or both ears. Such hearing impairments can go unsuspected until the sounds of daily life become faded or unrecognizable. Rather than accepting an impairment as an inevitable part of aging, or shying away from social interaction to avoid embarrassment, seek proper treatment from an audiologist. There is so much in life to hear. May is Better Hearing and Speech Month. Contact the WSU Speech-Language-Hearing Clinic at 978-3289 with questions about available services.
