For five decades, The Roanoke Valley Speech and Hearing Center, across from Towers Mall on Colonial Avenue, has been helping people of all ages develop their communication skills so they can better relate to the world around them. Our speech-language professionals and hearing professionals do evaluations that include a case history, an examination of speech mechanisms, an assessment of speech and language skills and hearing testing. Our up-to-date training and state-of-the-art equipment are here to help any person with hearing and/or speech disorders, including our mobile unit for on-site industrial hearing conservation services. Please see "Services" and our "Mobile Testing Unit" 

More than 15 million Americans suffer impairment or loss of hearing. Our goal is to help our clients with hearing impairments make the most of their remaining hearing. For persons without a hearing problem, we emphasize protecting and preserving good hearing. For persons needing hearing aids, we offer a large variety of hearing aids, and we are here when you need adjustments, parts, and fittings.

We also offer consultation on hearing protection and on-site industrial and school hearing tests with the Center's mobile unit. The Center is a not-for-profit community service organization approved by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) organization; contributions to the Roanoke Valley Speech and Hearing Center are deductible for income tax purposes.
You can make contributions directly or through United Way.
