Celebrating World Hearing Day - Hearing Care for All

In recognition of World Hearing Day, HEAR Wisconsin has exciting updates to share.

Ensuring equal access to hearing healthcare has been a focus for HEAR Wisconsin for many years.

Did you know schools no longer have a statutory requirement to perform health appraisals, including hearing screenings? Also, did you know most free clinics do not provide hearing healthcare? And, lack of access to transportation and physical mobility issues can be insurmountable for some people to get their hearing professionally checked by an audiologist.

Thanks to generous funders, HEAR Wisconsin is thrilled to launch the state’s first community Mobile Audiology Clinic.

The vehicle is currently in production and is set to roll into our community in June 2021!

The community Mobile Audiology Clinic (MAC) will provide hearing screenings onsite at schools, assisted living facilities, homeless shelters, community centers, health fairs, and more.

In addition, we will partner with companies to provide hearing conservation services (OSHA testing) for their employees who work in environments with high noise levels.

What’s new with the Telecommunications Equipment Purchase Program (TEPP)?

For nearly 25 years, HEAR Wisconsin has assisted thousands of individuals who are d/Deaf, blind, hard of hearing, low vision, or have a speech or mobility disability utilize TEPP.

TEPP provides assistance with obtaining signaling alter devices, caption/amplified phones, iPhones, iPads, Samsung Droids, and now iWatches at low to no cost.
