Pre-School Hearing Screening

The Indiana Lions Speech and Hearing state project is striving to make available to every child in Indiana of pre-school age the opportunity to have their hearing tested by an Indiana Licensed Audiologist, courtesy of their local Lions Club(s).

It is extremely important that every child have their hearing tested at the earliest possible time. If a problem is detected corrective measures can be taken and possibly prevent a lifetime of hearing difficulties. Schools in Indiana are required to test a child before they enter Kindergarten, but if there is a serious problem, this can be too late. A hearing problem can effect a child's speech development, their ability to learn, and to develop socially.

To the Lions of Indiana we ask; is your club conducting a pre-school hearing screening in your community?
If your answer is no, contact one of your District Speech and Hearing Trustees and they will help your club get started.

To the citizens of Indiana we ask; is your local Lions Club providing this service to your community?
If the answer is no, contact a member of your local club and tell them you would like to see this program started in your community.
