Columbia, SC— The Audiology Awareness Campaign® (AAC) recently announced its fifth annual “Listen Up America“® Week, a national hearing screening campaign that is scheduled for May 14-18, 2012 across the United States.
This weeklong national event provides audiologists and hearing health professionals an opportunity to raise consumer awareness about hearing loss and hearing loss prevention.
The annual campaign involves audiologists from around the country offering free hearing screenings during the May time period. Consumers are directed to contact the registered offices and schedule an appointment during the campaign week.
