January 7, 2008

The Department of Communication Disorders and Sciences will again offer sessions for individuals who are considering hearing aids or for those who already own hearing aids and would like to maximize their benefit.

Sessions will focus on understanding and coping with hearing loss, and provide good communication skills and strategies.
