Do you have hearing trouble? Join us via Zoom on Wednesday, May 22, at 10 am to learn about hearing health, TeleAudiology services through the University of Illinois, and if you may benefit from these services. 
 
Hearing is an essential sense that allows us to communicate, connect with others, and experience the world around us. However, many people struggle with hearing loss, which can significantly impact their daily lives. It is crucial to understand the importance of hearing and educate ourselves.

Attend a virtual seminar to learn more about Hearing Health and the TeleAudiology (remote) services that are offered through the University of Illinois.   


With just an appointment or two per year in Champaign at our University of Illinois Audiology and Speech Language Pathology Clinic, follow-up hearing aid services can be completed via Telehealth.  
Teleaudiology is sometimes called “remote care” or “remote hearing care”—it enables your audiologist to make adjustments to your [newer model] hearing aids remotely, without requiring an office visit. Web-based technologies connect an app on your smartphone to a secure online patient portal on your provider’s computer. During a virtual consultation, audiologists are able to check in on your progress, provide counseling, and make real-time hearing aid adjustments.
A new estimate shows hearing loss affects approximately 37.9 million Americans and is more common in rural areas than urban ones.  However, many rural areas do not have access to hearing healthcare or Audiologists.
