BUILT TO SERVE. ENGINEERED TO LAST.

Audiology Sprinter Van

Brother’s Brother Foundation recently donated a fully-customized hearing health van to the Eye & Ear Foundation for its work providing care in the community. The van will be used by UPMC audiologists and faculty at the University of Pittsburgh to provide free hearing care to underserved communities throughout the Pittsburgh region. Aside from hearing screenings and hearing aid care, clinicians will also use the van to address other health issues as speech and swallowing. In addition to being able to provide on-site care, information gathered from these community missions will be used to better learn and understand how to address hearinging loss, speech, and swallowing care in our communities.
