Lifespan is partnering with the Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA) Rochester Chapter to host a Day of Hearing in recognition of Better Speech and Hearing Month! Join us at any time throughout the day for an educational workshop or to view and try out a selection of assistive-listening devices before actually buying them!
Students from Nazareth’s Audiology program as well as HLAA members will be offering free hearing screenings - no appointments necessary!
