Lucid Hearing Celebrates National Speech-Language-Hearing Month
John Maxwell famously wrote, “Change is inevitable; growth is optional.” It’s a reminder that in our ever-evolving world, adaptation is key. This sentiment rings true as we enter May, a month traditionally dedicated to raising awareness about hearing health and communication disorders. However, this year marks a significant shift as May is now recognized as National Speech-Language-Hearing Month, replacing the former moniker, Better Hearing and Speech Month.
A New Approach
This change, initiated by the National Association for Hearing and Speech Action, reflects a broader understanding of the diverse needs and experiences within the community of individuals with hearing and speech challenges. By removing the term “better” from the previous title, the new name emphasizes inclusivity and eliminates any perceived judgment towards those facing communication disorders.
At Lucid Hearing, we support this name change and the renewed focus on promoting understanding and acceptance of all communication abilities. Our commitment to our communities keeps us engaged in initiatives aimed at fostering awareness and providing support to individuals of all ages and stages.
Knowledge and Protection
One of our primary initiatives involves promoting the importance of hearing protection. With the World Health Organization’s warning about the risks of hearing loss, we are dedicated to equipping individuals with the knowledge and tools to safeguard their hearing health. Through educational partnerships, informative blogs, and community outreach, we strive to empower people to take proactive steps towards preserving their hearing abilities. You can find a selection of affordable products on our website.
LUCID HEARING CENTERS AT SAM'S CLUBS
Get a Free Hearing Check
Additionally, we are proud to offer free hearing check-ups at over 400 Lucid Hearing Centers located within Sam’s Club nationwide. These check-ups serve as a resource for individuals to assess their hearing health and seek guidance from our experienced professionals. An average of 48 million Americans are living with hearing loss, yet statistics show most people wait an average of ten years before seeking treatment. Unchecked hearing loss is linked to mental isolation and depression, greater risk of falls, Alzheimer’s, and dementia. By making these services accessible and convenient, we hope to break down barriers to hearing care and encourage early intervention for any potential communication disorders.
Join us as we celebrate National Speech-Language-Hearing Month and schedule a hearing checkup for someone special. Early detection and treatment leads to a greater chance of preserving communication for years to come. Call us at 1-800-785-6052 to schedule by phone or visit LucidHearing.com to schedule online.
