The second free hearing screening of the semester to be held by Fort Hays State University graduate students will be offered in Nickerson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The screening will be hosted by the Nickerson Masonic Lodge\n#43 from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m., Friday, Nov. 5, at the Nickerson Community Center,\n11 Nickerson St.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hearing screenings are sponsored by a grant from the\nKansas Masonic Foundation. The grant will provide numerous opportunities for\nolder adults in western Kansas to receive important health screening services\nthat are currently scarce or difficult to access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Appointments may be scheduled ahead of time, but walk-ins\nwill be welcomed on a first-come, first-served basis. Each site will have four\nstations, with each screening lasting approximately 15-20 minutes. Information\nabout hearing loss and follow-up services available will be shared during the\nscreenings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Free educational materials and earplugs will be provided by\nthe Kansas Masons. The screening is provided by graduate students from the\nDepartment of Communication Sciences and Disorders under the supervision of an\nFHSU Herndon Clinic instructor.
\n 
\n\u201cThe students are gaining excellent clinical\nexperience as well as mandatory clinical hours from each screening,\u201d said Marcy\nBeougher, speech-language pathologist and an instructor in the Department of\nCommunication Sciences and Disorders. \u201cWe are grateful to the Kansas Masons for\ntheir support of this quality program.\u201d
\n
\nThe final free hearing screening will be offered\nthis fall in Lewis on Nov. 19. Three more screenings will be set in communities\nwith active Masonic Lodges in the Spring of 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
