To recognize May as "Better Hearing and Speech Month," the FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) is offering a free webinar that will discuss the basic information that consumers "need to know" about hearing aids.
The 30-minute webinar will be broadcast on Wednesday, May 23, 2012 at 2 pm ET, and feature Shu-Chen Peng, PhD, CCC-A, an audiologist in CDRH’s Office of Device Evaluation.
The topics will include basic information about hearing loss, hearing aids, and the different types and styles available. Peng will also discuss how consumers can “get the most out of hearing aids.”
After the presentation, participants will have an opportunity to ask questions.
