Summer is a season for fun—but also for protecting your hearing. At the Center for Hearing and Communication (CHC), we know that baseball games, concerts, and fireworks are summer staples—but they can also pose a serious risk to your hearing.

When people use Eargasm earplugs, it's a win-win-win: concertgoers can enjoy live music without risking their hearing, CHC can expand our impact by educating the public about noise-induced hearing loss, and Live Nation reinforces its commitment to the long-term wellness of its audience.

May is both Mental Health Awareness Month and National Speech-Language-Hearing Month—a perfect time to recognize how closely our emotional well-being and communication health are connected. This month is a reminder to care for your whole self—body, mind, and spirit. And if you or someone you love needs support, CHC is here. Whether you’re facing hearing loss, speech challenges, or the emotional impact of either, we’re ready to help you reconnect—with yourself and the world ar
