Deafness has no respect of age, wealth, or rank –it strikes people of all economic, social and age categories with equal frequency.
The Lion’s Clubs of Illinois sponsors free hearing screenings for persons 18 and older and 10 to 17 years with written parental consent in communities all over the state.
As part of that program the Huntley Lions Club and Grafton Township are sponsoring a free screening from 9:00am to 4:00pm on August 16, 2011 at Huntley American Legion, 11712 Coral Street, Huntley. No registration is required. The hearing test usually takes about 15 minutes. Walk-ins are welcome.
Hearing loss is probably the single most chronic disability in the United States, occurring nearly four more times as often as blindness. There are nearly 720,000 hearing impaired people in Illinois alone.
At 11 am an Audiologist will give a presentation on hearing difficulties. A free lunch is sponsored by Northwest Home Health and Rehab and bingo will follow from 12:30 to 2:30 pm. This event is open to the community and is available at no charge. Please call Grafton Township at 1-847-669-3328 if you have any questions
