May is Better Hearing and Speech Month (BHSM). The month of May is Better Hearing and Speech Month (BHSM). BHSM was founded in 1927 by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association to ensure that no one faces the risk of hearing loss from loud sounds and noises.
Each May, this annual event provides an opportunity to raise awareness about hearing and speech problems, and to encourage individuals to think about their own hearing. Exceptional Destinations, Inc. encourages everyone to get their hearing checked. Please make appointments for annual hearing examinations! ~ Exceptional Destinations, Inc
Early identification and intervention for hearing loss is important. According to the World Health Organization, many people live with unidentified hearing loss, often failing to realize that they are missing certain sounds and words. Checking one’s hearing is the first step toward addressing the issue.
Are you the only one hearing that ringing? Time to get your doctor to check your hearing.
Protect your hearing! And if you already have hearing loss or are experiencing pain, discomfort, or ringing in the ears, take steps to keep it from getting worse.

February is such a wonderful month! Not only is it Black HIstory Month, but it is also National Children's Dental Health Month as well. This year Exceptional Destinations adopted a local HeadStart classroom to share the love of dental health with it's students. Special thanks goes out to this class of wonderful Friends! Here's to your dental health.
