👂 Hearing screenings
🎧 Hearing aid fitting & programming with demo devices
🔊 Virtual sound demonstrations in our ViSOR simulation room

Since February 2025, CSD’s audiology faculty and students have volunteered their time and expertise by hosting a free, walk-in NUCASLL hearing clinic at ReVive Center—an organization that provides housing, support, and care for Chicagoans affected by homelessness. Together, they’ve served 20 community members with ear cleanings, hearing tests, counseling, and fittings for five individuals receiving donated hearing aids for the first time. 💜👂

Through partnerships and programs like these, NUCASLL and CSD students continue giving back to the community while creating full-circle opportunities for care, education, and connection.
