A local university is using its resources to bring healthcare opportunities to Clinton.

On the WHOW Morning Show Tuesday, Doctoral Students in the Illinois State University Audiology Program Molly Whitcomb and Taylor Clay told Regional Radio that they've been working hard to support the hearing needs of local communities. 

Clay explains that they will be bringing a mobile hearing clinic to Clinton to give care opportunities to those who may not have them otherwise. She says you can stop by and get your hearing checked with no appointment necessary. 

When you arrive at the clinic, Whitcomb indicates that you will go through a simple test to determine if you are perceiving your hearing loss and then another test to see how severe the loss could be.

Dr. Anthony Joseph states that as we get older, hearing loss becomes more prevalent and more important to preserve. He mentions that if you are over the age of 55, it's especially important to have your hearing checked. 

Get your hearing screened by the ISU Audiology Department on Friday, April 4th, at the Warner Hospital in Clinton from 1 to 3 PM.
