Each May, Better Hearing & Speech Month (BHSM) gives us an opportunity to raise awareness about communication disorders. This month is the perfect time to shine a spotlight on speech and hearing issues as well as evaluate our communication capabilities. Speech and hearing disorders often go unnoticed due to fear of being singled out or a lack of knowledge. This months increased focus on such issues helps us take note of our abilities and hopefully do more to improve our awareness about communication disorders. The best way to observe Better Speech and Hearing Month is by adopting better speech habits and talking about your journey to better communication.
