Audiology faculty and students from East Tennessee State University have recently donated more than $60,000 in services and discounted hearing aid devices to patients who attended the Remote Area Medical clinic that took place in Gray last November.
RAM is a major nonprofit provider of free pop-up clinics. Students, faculty and staff from several ETSU colleges and programs assist annually at clinics held throughout the region. Volunteers from ETSUâs Doctor of Audiology program attended the Gray clinic in November and tested 40 patients for hearing aids. Of those patients, 28 were identified as persons who could benefit from hearing aids.
Those individuals were invited to come, free of charge, to ETSUâs Center for Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology at the Nave Center in Elizabethton in order to be fitted for hearing aids in January and February.
