General Information
There are 36 million Americans with some degree of hearing loss and over 80 percent will go untreated. This number includes men, women, and children of all ages. Many people report feeling isolated and embarrassed about their hearing loss and are unaware of their options. Audiologists at the Cole Audiology Lab can identify, treat and make appropriate referrals for all types of hearing loss, as well as provide continuing hearing healthcare to the East Texas community. The Cole Audiology Lab at Stephen F. Austin State University offers comprehensive audiological services to the East Texas community and is OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, as well as those associated with SFA.
Comprehensive Care for All Ages
Diagnostic hearing evaluations for patients of all ages are available in the Cole Audiology Lab. If a hearing loss is identified, you may choose to continue receiving audiological services at the Cole Audiology Lab.
