By mobilizing audiological care, the clinic embodies Heuser Hearing Institute’s mission to close the education and achievement gaps for individuals who are deaf and hard of hearing, ensuring that comprehensive diagnostic and follow-up services are accessible to all Kentuckians, regardless of their location.

Furthermore, the clinic facilitates connections with vital resources such as Vocational Rehab and the Kentucky Commission on the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (KCDHH), thereby removing barriers to care and fostering greater inclusivity in hearing health services.
The impact of the KY HEARS Mobile Hearing Clinic has been profound, offering tangible solutions to the pressing need for accessible, high-quality hearing healthcare across the state.
