Send us Fan MailHAPPY BETTER HEARING AND SPEECH MONTH!!!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 2023, ASHA'S theme is “Building a Strong Foundation”Our team urges anyone concerned about their hearing (or that of a loved one) to seek a hearing evaluation from a certified audiologist. Private insurance, Medicaid, and Medicare generally cover evaluations. People can take this step even if they think they can’t afford hearing aids or other hearing services. Audiologists can advise people on ways to make hearing aids more affordable, and various organizations offer financial assistance.Aside from hearing aids, audiologists can also identify other ways to improve a person’s listening and communication skills. They can also help families support loved ones with hearing loss.Signs of hearing loss in adults include the following:Difficulty following conversationsDifficulty hearing in noisy environmentsHearing ringing, roaring, or beeping in one or both earsFailure to respond to spoken wordsMuffled hearingConstant frustration hearing speech and other soundsAvoidance of conversationOmega AI hearing aids don’t just keep up. They redefine what it means to be modern and discreet yet durable and comfortable for all-day wear.They’re waterproof, everyday-proof, and designed to go the distance of your day and then some.
