Understanding hearing loss can be complicated for both the person experiencing hearing loss and their families. In addition, researching and purchasing hearing aids can be time consuming and expensive.
The UPMC Center for Audiology and Hearing Aids offers free training programs and educational sessions for the public on various topics.
The center invites new hearing aid users and their family members to participate in a three-week training program (one hour per week). The program will assist you in adjusting to amplification and getting the most benefit from your hearing aid.
To sign up for the three-week hearing aid course, call the Center for Audiology and Hearing Aids at 412-647-2030.
Each free educational session consists of three hour-long classes. Participants may attend as many classes as they wish, but must register.
