Dr. Emily York and the MENTSA staff want you to know that May 31st is National Save Your Hearing Day. With the loud noises that people in Mississippi encounter while working, cheering for their favorite teams, hunting, watching fireworks and more, It is important to take some time to learn ways to protect you and your family’s hearing. Our hearing is vital, and there are ways that hearing loss can be avoidable.
