The contract also funded this LEND Pediatric Audiology Training Resource Site (www.aucd.org/lendaudiology) for all LEND Pediatric Audiology Programs.  If you have suggestions for News, Resources, or future Events to post to the site, please email Katy Beggs.

About Hearing Loss

Hearing loss is the partial or extreme loss of a person?s ability to receive information by listening. The most extreme cases of hearing loss are known as deafness, a term used when the hearing loss is so severe a person cannot understand information when listening is the sole means of receiving information.
