Self Help for the Hard of Hearing (SHHH)
National Day of Hearing Testing
The
first annual SHHH National Day of Hearing Testing was held on May
6th, 2000. The goal was to increase hearing loss awareness among the
general public. A secondary goal was to provide hearing screenings for
twenty thousand people on that one day.
For
the year 2002, the National Day of Hearing Screening will occur in
October; in fact, it looks like it will take place during the entire
month, rather than on a single day. SHHH local and state organizations
are arranging for free hearing evaluations from local hearing
professionals. For additional information, please point your browser to

Hearing Testing page.
