Pee Dee Hearing Center Invites You To Their Ribbon Cutting Ceremony

Thursday, October 12, is a very special day for the Florence and the Pee Dee as it celebrates the Grand Reopening of one of the areas oldest nonprofits, Pee Dee Hearing Center.  The City of Florence passed a resolution naming October 12 Pee Dee Hearing Center Day!    Founded in 1968 by a group of concerned citizens who recognized  a need in our community for services for the speech and hearing impaired, the Center provides reduced rate services and hearing aids for  clients from every walk of life.  We want to be able to reach more people in need of treatment for their hearing loss as our population grows and changes by increasing our ability to provide low cost hearing aids.

Formerly Pee Dee Speech & Hearing Center, the practice’s mission is to empower the lives of people who struggle with all degrees of hearing challenges. Hearing loss is a prevelant condition throughout the community and is becoming even more common in younger generations as our environment grows noisier.  The proliferation of electronic media, sound systems, lawn and garden equipment, and a host of other noise pollutants is causing irreversible hearing loss across the generations. Hearing loss of all degrees affects people’s ability to navigate their relationships at home, in the marriages, at work, at school, and at play. When people treat their hearing loss, their relationships tend to improve in all these areas.   We see educating people about the risks of noise pollution and ways to prevent noise induced hearing loss as a significant part of our job.

Join us on Thursday, October 12th from 4:30 – 6:30 pm at 153 N B Barrody St in Florence.  Please RSVP to peedeehearingandspeech@gmail.com ASAP.
