May Is Better Hearing Month!
But Did You Know….?

  • ABA News

In 1927, the Federation of Organizations for the Hard of Hearing first established National Hearing Week. Later, in 1958, May became Better Hearing Month, a month-long opportunity to raise awareness about communication disorders and the role that speech pathologists and audiologists play in providing assessment and treatment. As the spring flowers bloom, let’s take this time to celebrate our history and to make our communities aware of the critical services we provide.
