Communication is at the heart of every relationship. Without it, challenging things can happen: hearts can break, friendships can fade, jobs can be lost, and families can fall apart. Whether you are Deaf, hard of hearing, have a speech challenge or a language delay, you have the right to connect with the people in your life on your own terms.
At Hearing, Speech & Deaf Center, theypartner with their clients and community to create communication equality. Where being able to hear doesn’t decide where you live, work and play. Where being deaf is a piece of information, not a deciding factor. Where hearing aids are as fashionable as eye glasses.
