The Kay Eckstein Speech & Hearing Center provides an integrated experience for clients and patients needing audiology services and/or consultation services for assistive technology equipment to be used in the home, work or other environments. Our team includes doctors of audiology and technology consultants who will determine what works best for the clients and patients based on their hearing loss and communication needs. HEAR Wisconsin launched the Mobile Audiology Clinic (MAC) to serve even more people in the community. MAC promotes hearing health care and wellness through hearing loss detection, conservation, prevention and education, as part of a community outreach initiative. MAC addresses hearing health disparities among Southeastern Wisconsin's most vulnerable, including children, the low income, homeless, uninsured and underemployed population. Annually, MAC has the potential to screen thousands of children and adults who may otherwise not have an opportunity to be screened.
Our center has a wide array of assistive technology devices such as caption phones, amplified phones, bed alarm shakers, visual fire alarm systems, and more to help people of all ages and all degrees of hearing loss. Our technology experts provide free consultation to determine best technology solutions for use in the home, work or in social environments. For over 25 years, HEAR Wisconsin has assisted individuals who are Deaf, blind, low vision, hard of hearing, or have a speech or physical disability utilize Wisconsin's Telecommunication Equipment Purchase Program (TEPP). TEPP helps Wisconsin residents cover the cost of specialized equipment needed for basic telephone services, such as iPhones, Samsung Droids, iPads, captioned phones, sound alert devices, and amplified phones.
