SPRINGFIELD -- May is Better Speech and
Hearing Month, and Springfield Clinic is offering a free seminar
Monday evening to
educate patients on understanding and overcoming hearing loss, as
well as the latest in hearing devices.
|
"Rediscover Sounds: Understanding Hearing Loss" will be presented by
the Springfield Clinic audiologists at 6 p.m. Monday in the lobby
of the Ambulatory Surgery & Endoscopy Center, located on the second
floor of the Main Campus East Building, 1025 S. Sixth St.
Since 1927, the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association has
celebrated May as Better Hearing and Speech Month. The audiologists
at Springfield Clinic remind you to use this month to analyze your
own hearing and determine if you are one of the estimated 28 million
Americans who have a treatable hearing loss. You may have a hearing
loss if you:
-
Lose your place in
group conversations.
-
Keep the volume on
your radio or TV at a level that others say is too loud.
-
Have pain or ringing in your ears.
"People who see themselves in these statements should see an
audiologist for a hearing test," said Stephanie Born, audiologist
with Springfield Clinic. "Even a very slight hearing loss can have
an impact on your daily life. Hearing loss is treatable, and there
is no reason for anyone to miss all the important sounds of life."
Light refreshments will be served at the seminar. Seating is
limited, so it is requested that attendees register by calling
217-391-0811 or online at
