Better Speech and Hearing Month is observed in May each year to increase awareness about communication disorders and hearing health. Founded by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), this day also provides an opportunity to honor the roles of ASHA members in providing treatment to those affected by speech and hearing disorders.
The theme for Better Hearing and Speech Month 2023 is “Building a Strong Foundation.” Hearing is an important part of the foundation for your ability to communicate with the outside world. It allows you to connect with your loved ones, experience joyful sounds like birds chirping and waves crashing, and it keeps you out of danger.
Let’s spread the word together! ✨
