Now through May 1, Fresno State’s Speech, Language and Hearing Clinic is offering free hearing evaluations to the campus community and general public. Evaluations will be held from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday at the on-campus Audiology Clinic. The two-hour evaluations test for hearing loss, and can identify the type and severity of the loss. Appointments must be made in advance by completing a case history form, available online. Upon approval, an appointment may be scheduled based on availability. Appointments are made on a first-come, first-served basis as the number of evaluations are limited during the semester. Clients must be at least 3 years old. The comprehensive evaluations provide advanced clinical training and research opportunities for speech-language pathology students, who are supervised by licensed and nationally certified audiologists. Hearing evaluations are free of charge, but a suggested donation of $20 is appreciated. Donations help fund clinical supplies, assessment materials and technology equipment to help sustain the program. Placement in the Audiology Clinic is not contingent upon a donation. For more information, contact 559.278.2422 or cddssa@csufresno.edu.
