GAINESVILLE, Fla. — The University of Florida Hearing and Speech Clinic is offering a course in Living with Hearing Loss. These classes are free and open to the public.

Pat Kricos of the department of communication science and disorders will lead the course. Participants will be encouraged to share their experiences and suggestions with each other, allowing them to learn how to help themselves. Family members are strongly encouraged to attend as well, as they will gain insights and learn to better communicate with their hearing impaired relatives.

There are four classes per session. The next session begins Oct. 8; a second session will begin Nov. 12. Space is limited; call 352-392-2041 to register.

The Hearing and Speech Clinic is located in Suites B & C at 1405 N.W. 13th St.
