Free Hearing Screenings At American Legion

The Huntley Lions Club and Grafton Township are sponsoring a free hearing screening today.

A mobile hearing unit will conduct screening from 9am to 4pm at the Huntley American Legion, 11712 Coral Street, Huntley. No registration is required.  The hearing test usually takes about 15 minutes.  Walk-ins are welcome. 

The Lions Club of Illinois sponsors the screenings for anyone 18 or older and children 10 to 17 with parental consent all over the state.

Deafness has no respect of age, wealth, or rank – it strikes people of all economic, social and age categories with equal frequency.

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, Bickford Senior Living will give a presentation.  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.  Call Grafton Township at 847-669-3328 if you have any questions.
