Healthy Hearing Free Community Screening
A free hearing screening is a quick way to check your hearing health and determine whether a full evaluation may be recommended. Plan to attend if you:
- Experience ringing in your ears (tinnitus)
- Have trouble understanding speech in groups or noisy places
- Often turn up the TV or radio louder than your family prefers
- Feel tired after long conversations
During the screening, you’ll meet with an audiologist, receive a brief hearing check, and have the opportunity to demo hearing devices.
Why Get a Hearing Screening?
A hearing screening is a quick, convenient way to check your hearing health. Screenings are shorter and easier to access than full hearing evaluations—they take just a few minutes, are often free, and don’t require a doctor’s referral.
Regular screenings can help identify potential changes in your hearing before they become more noticeable. For most adults, a screening every year or two is a good step toward protecting long-term hearing health. If a screening shows any concerns, a full hearing assessment with an audiologist is recommended.
These screenings are open to everyone in the community, including NU staff and students!
Appointments are required and limited. Call or email to schedule!
