The Evelyn Hendren Cassat Speech-Language-Hearing Clinic at Wichita State offers free hearing evaluations to faculty and staff.

Hearing loss is a common problem that can significantly affect a person’s ability to communicate.  During the evaluation, an audiologist will test the patient’s hearing to determine if there is hearing loss and the type and severity of the loss. If a patient does appear to have hearing loss, the appointment may last longer.

To schedule an appointment, call 316-978-3289. The clinic is located at the Hughes Metropolitan Complex at the intersection of 29th and Oliver streets.
