Hear for You

“Hear for You” is a national public awareness initiative developed to spotlight the vital role that audiologists play in delivering high-quality, patient-centered hearing healthcare. Spearheaded by the Academy of Doctors of Audiology (ADA), this campaign is designed to promote recognition of the clinical expertise and autonomous practice of audiologists across the country. By emphasizing the breadth of services provided by ADA members, the campaign aims to elevate public understanding of the profession’s contributions to overall health and well-being.

We invite you to take full advantage of the curated “Hear for You” campaign materials available through the links below. These resources are specifically designed to support your efforts in public education, community outreach, and the provision of limited “no-charge” services—such as pure tone hearing screenings. These types of screenings are compliant with Medicare guidelines and can serve as a powerful tool for early identification of hearing concerns within your community.

All “Hear for You” materials are fully customizable, enabling you to tailor messaging and branding for your individual practice. Whether you are preparing for National Audiology Awareness Month in October or National Better Hearing Month in May, these resources provide a valuable opportunity to increase public engagement, raise awareness about hearing health and hearing loss prevention, and reinforce the essential role audiologists play in improving quality of life through better hearing.

Your participation in this campaign is not only an investment in your practice—it is a commitment to advancing the field of audiology and championing the importance of accessible, expert hearing care nationwide.
