Better Hearing and Speech Month ? Free Hearing and Speech Screenings May 1, 2006

May is Better Hearing and Speech Month, the perfect time to communicate important information about hearing and speech. One in six Americans has a hearing, speech, or language problem--a condition that makes it difficult to communicate with others. Untreated, these problems can limit you at home, school, and work. Anyone, of any age, can have or develop an impairment of the ability to hear, speak, or understand effectively.

Treatment to eliminate or minimize communication problems is available. If you suspect you, or someone you know, has a hearing, speech, or language problem, call The Hearing and Speech Agency to schedule a free screening in May:
