Celebrate Better Hearing and Speech Month" this May

Effective communication shapes an individuals ability to learn and socialize. May, 2004 is Better Hearing and Speech Month, raising public awareness regarding hearing and development of speech and language.

(PRWEB) May 2, 2004 -- May, 2004 is Better Hearing and Speech Month (BHSM). One way to observe the event is to self-assess ones hearing. Some indications of possible hearing loss are:
• frequently asking others to repeat themselves
• often turning toward a sound to hear it better
• understanding people better when wearing glasses or looking directly at their faces
• losing ones place in group conversations
• keeping the volume on the radio or TV at a level that others say is too loud
• experiencing pain or ringing in ones ears

This May, take time to notice these signs of hearing loss. If they seem familiar, dont hesitate to seek help. Early detection of hearing difficulties can improve quality of life and ease the transition back to better hearing. Dont be one of the many people who suffer alone, postpone treatment, or avoid the use of hearing aids.
