ROCHESTER'S VOICE FOR PEOPLE WITH HEARING LOSS
October is National Protect Your Hearing Month
Although we want to protect our hearing and that of our family and friends all year, October is set aside as the official Take Action to protect your hearing, month. The value of good hearing is often not appreciated until we no longer have it. Poor hearing can take a heavy toll on us as well as those with whom we interact.
