Have you heard? May is Better Speech and Hearing Month

Time & Date

Tuesday, May 21, 2019


Communication is what keeps us connected. Hearing loss, the third most common physical condition among older Americans, is no friend of communications.  One in three people over age 60 has hearing loss, and it’s been estimated that one in 14 Gen Xers already has some hearing loss. Luckily, UT Health San Antonio’s audiology specialists are here to diagnose and treat all levels of hearing loss. And they offer the latest, most advanced technology in hearing restoration and hearing protection gear.

Learn all about hearing loss and sound technology at 10 a.m., Friday, July 19, at a free breakfast seminar. Call 210-450-0711 to RSVP or click here to learn more about the class.
