Today is the final day of Speech and Hearing Month! Here are a few fast facts to close out the month. Fact #1: Speech-language Pathologists have a wide scope of practice including assessment, evaluation, and treatment of the following areas: speech (articulation/phonology), language, feeding/swallowing, cognition, hearing, voice, fluency, social communication, and communication modalities. Fact #2: Did you know that teachers are the profession most at risk for developing a voice disorder? Fact #3: In the United States, hearing loss is the third most common chronic physical condition (National Center for Environmental Health). Sitting in front of a speaker at a rock concert can expose you to 120 decibels, damaging your hearing in only 7.5 minutes. Protect your ears!! Fact #4: Many famous people have worked through speech, voice, and articulation disorders, including Thomas Jefferson, Joe Biden, Marilyn Monroe, Winston Churchill, and Elton John.
