May is National Better Speech-Language-Hearing Month From Jill Midkiff/Kim Saylor Brannock Frankfort, KY - With approximately 700,000 Kentuckians of all ages experiencing some degree of hearing loss, Gov. Andy Beshear and the Kentucky Commission on the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (KCDHH) are encouraging people to learn the signs of hearing loss and get your hearing evaluated. This effort is part of National Better Speech-Language-Hearing Month in May. "We can all learn the signs of hearing loss and look out for them in ourselves, family and friends," said Gov. Beshear. "Now is a great time to make an appointment to have a professional check your hearing or a loved one's hearing. Don't put it off; it's never too early." Statistics tell us that it takes the average person about seven years from the time they think they have a hearing loss until they seek treatment. Thousands of Kentuckians are affected by hearing loss, but many do not recognize the signs because it can happen gradually from aging, loud noises or many other causes. Signs of hearing loss in adults include: Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2025-05-23 19:47:31 | Comments | Printable version

LWC students expand horizons with study-abroad experience By Shelby Burton For Lindsey Wilson College senior Kiara Collins, stepping onto British soil was a chance to realize a long-held dream. "I've always thought about studying abroad," said Collins, a communication major and Columbia native. "But my academic journey didn't go down that road -- until now. This trip gave me the chance to experience what I'd only imagined for years. It reminded me why I value cultural understanding and open-mindedness so much." Collins was one of 15 Lindsey Wilson students selected to travel to the United Kingdom in May as part of an immersive study-abroad program at Harlaxton College, an experience that combined academic exploration, cultural exchange and personal growth. During their nine days abroad, students visited the historic cities of London, Lincoln, York and Cambridge while based at Harlaxton. Harlaxton is a Victorian manor and the University of Evansville's study-abroad center, located in Grantham, England, which is about three hours north of London.
