 Hearing loss tends to be gradual and some may not immediately notice
it, according to Lori Faber, a certified clinical audiologist at
Memorial's Hearing Center.
"You may feel others are mumbling or you're having difficulty
understanding speech in noisy places. A hearing screening tells us
if there is an actual hearing loss and if further diagnostic testing
is needed," Faber said.
Screenings are available by appointment only at the Hearing
Center, 644 N. Second St. in Springfield. Appointments can be made
by calling 217-788-3767 between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. weekdays.
