Hearing health is important for everyone but not accessible to all. We live within driving distance of many counties that are underserved medically. Research supports that hearing loss impacts people socially, educationally, and financially.
The Auburn University Speech and Hearing Clinic needs help to create a mobile hearing clinic that would bring education, assessment, and treatment to people of all ages who might otherwise be unable to easily access it, especially in the Black Belt region of Alabama.
This project would also provide important teaching and training opportunities for our Doctor of Audiology students, giving them hands-on clinical experiences in a real-world setting.
