This month recognizes the spectrum of hearing experiences and honors the rich culture, language, and identity of the d/Deaf community. 💙

ARC Audiologists support individuals with hearing loss by offering tools and strategies for communication and connection. Some people identify as Deaf and use sign language. Others may identify as deaf and choose hearing aids. Whether someone signs, speaks, hears with aids, or doesn’t hear at all—respect and choice are key.
