Organization Description
Founded in 1920 as the League for the Hard of Hearing, the Center originally focused on the social and financial needs of people with hearing loss. By the 1930s, the Center had developed into a full service audiology clinic offering community education and screenings, evaluations and treatment options for those with hearing problems.
Speech-language services were added in 1965 and in 1969, the School Screening Program to provide hearing and vision tests for area students was developed. The Center established the Hearing Conservation Program in 1972 to protect workers from hearing loss in high-noise work environments.
