Better Hearing and Speech Month Logo

May is Better Hearing and Speech Month.
Now is a good time to analyze your own hearing and determine if you are one of the estimated 28 million Americans who have a hearing loss that can be treated. Even if you don't currently feel you have a hearing problem, it's important to have your hearing tested to establish a baseline for comparison at a future time should you experience a problem.

If  you or someone you know need community services to avoid a nursing home stay or need help with shopping, chores or personal assistance because of a disability, MAP is a gateway, guide and a single entry point to service providers in your local area.
