Free Hearing Screenings
2026-04-22 09:30 - 12:00 | Learning Center
Free Comprehensive Hearing Screening! Call 860-567-8302 to book your 20 minute appointment between 9:30-12pm.

Hearing Care Centers will be on site at Litchfield Community Center to offer free comprehensive hearing screenings, a series of tests that assess an individual’s ability to hear sounds and understand speech. The screening typically includes a range of tests such as pure-tone audiometry, speech audiometry, and middle ear testing. The purpose of the screening is to determine whether an individual has any hearing loss and the extent of the hearing loss.
Comprehensive hearing screening is important because hearing loss can have a significant impact on an individual’s quality of life. It can affect an individual’s ability to communicate effectively, participate in social activities, and perform daily tasks. Early detection of hearing loss can help prevent these negative impacts by allowing for prompt treatment, such as hearing aids or cochlear implants, which can improve an individual’s ability to hear and communicate. Additionally, early detection of hearing loss can help identify any underlying medical conditions that may be causing the hearing loss and allow for timely treatment of those conditions. Overall, comprehensive hearing screening is an important tool in maintaining overall health and wellbeing.
