Advances in treatments, technology and understanding of communication disorders offer new hope to many of these 24 million adults and children, according to the American Speech-Language- Hearing Association (ASHA). May has been designated Better Hearing and Speech Month to raise public awareness about communication disorders and the professional help available to treat them. "An educated public is our best ally in the struggle to prevent and treat communication disorders," Roy A. Kocnigsknecht, Ph.D., President of ASHA, said as the month-long event began. The May campaign is observed by speech-language pathologists and audiologists nationally with free speech, language and hearing 'screenings, open houses at clinics and other facilities, and a variety of other events to inform the public about communication disorders and treatments.

Speech or language disorders such as aphasia, stuttering, articulation problems, expressive/receptive language delay and voice problems affect more than 3 million children and adults, in many cases limiting their ability to succeed in school or the workplace. Head injury and stroke are leading causes of speechAanguage disorders. Environmental noise can have a damaging effect on hearing. Noise pollution affects more than 20 million Americans on a daily basis.
