FAU National Student Speech-Language-Hearing Association and the Audiology Laboratory Offer Free Hearing Screenings

BOCA RATON, FL (November 29, 2005) - FAU's NSSLHA and the Audiology Laboratory will be offering free hearing screenings to the public on Tuesday, December 6 between the hours of 9 a.m. - noon in the Communication Disorders Clinic, located on the fourth floor of the College of Education building, FAU's Boca Raton campus. No appointments are necessary. Free parking is available during the event.

Hearing screening tests provide a quick way to detect hearing loss. Those who pass a hearing screening are presumed to have no hearing loss. Those who do not pass are in need of an in-depth evaluation by an audiologist and may also need follow-up care from other professionals.
