Audiology Testing and Diagnostics for Ra Special School

7 students from Ra Special School traveled down to FHO Audiology Dept on Brown St. for follow up testing and diagnostics after having been screened during our Western Schools outreach last November. The children were tested and impressions taken for those who will require hearing aids. The school was provided with transportation and refreshments during their day with us.
It is truly rewarding to see the enthusiasm and commitment of the parents and teachers to ensure their children receive the proper support.
