Better Speech and Hearing Month - May, 2011

Join the Professional Hearing Services team in the Walk4Hearing. The event is held on Sunday May, 15, 2011 at Veteran's Park.

More than twenty-one 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.

If you have questions regarding hearing or hearing loss, please contact us at audiology@professionalhearingservices.com.
