May is Hearing Awareness & Speech Month

Not sure if you have hearing loss?

If you’ve recently found that communication is difficult it’s time to talk to a professional!

Contact Sound Hearing Care at 864-881-1663 to schedule your hearing exam.

We love May at Sound Hearing Care because that means we get to talk about hearing awareness!

What is ‘Better Hearing & Speech Month’ about?

According to the American Speech, Language, Hearing Association:

“Each May, Better Hearing & Speech Month (BHSM) provides an opportunity to raise awareness about communication disorders and the role of ASHA members in providing life-altering treatment.  For 2019, the theme is "Communication Across the Lifespan."

There are some great resources on the ASHA site that we think you should check out:
