Hearing Loss in America – A Silent Epidemic
The statistics are alarming! Thirty-eight million Americans have hearing loss, which includes 17% of our adult population. Unfortunately, only 20% of those individuals who might benefit from treatment actually seek help. Most tend to delay treatment until they cannot communicate even in the best of listening situations. This course's objective is to give an overview of the history, present, and future of hearing loss, tinnitus and hearing devices.
Instructor Dr. Arica Black, received her Bachelor of Science in Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences and Doctor of Audiology from Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. She was named one of the Top 20 Under 40 by the Lubbock Chamber of Commerce.
