"It is spring again. The earth is like a child that knows poems by heart."
- Rainer Maria Rilke
National Speech-Language-Hearing Month
This month, we’re proud to shine a spotlight on hearing, speech, and language awareness & to help bring greater understanding to these important areas of care. It’s also the perfect time to recognize and celebrate the incredible providers who make this work possible. Here's a heartfelt thank you to our incredible KY HEARS hearing care team featured below for the life-changing impact they make throughout the state!
Highlights
Hardin County School Screenings
During the last couple of weeks, the KY HEARS team made our way to Meadow View Elementary in Radcliff, KY and Creekside Elementary in Sonora, KY!
We are so proud to partner with State Representative Steve Bratcher to bring free hearing screenings to Hardin County Schools - Kentucky Thank you so much to the staff for letting us have our mobile clinic on campus—we can’t do any of this without your support.
KRTA Annual Conference
We always love being a partner with KRTA (Kentucky Retired Teachers Association) events! The team recently attended their annual conference where we provided free hearing screenings, hearing health education & even scheduled full diagnostic appointments at our upcoming clinics.
Thank you so much to every retiree who stopped by our table💚

Our team had an incredible time at the Whitley County Cooperative Extension Office Health Fair alongside Raising Hope KY’s Dale Dobson and Cheryl Witt.
