History

The Columbus Speech and Hearing Center was established in 1923 as the League for the Hard of Hearing. The League focused on assisting the hard-of-hearing in the Columbus community to improve their communication process. Over time, the League experienced name and location changes; however, the desire to help individuals in the central Ohio area remained.

Focusing on the needs of the community, the League evolved into the programs that exist at the Columbus Speech & Hearing Center today, which include Audiology & Hearing Aid services, Speech-Language and Occupational Therapy services and vocational rehabilitation programs through the Comprehensive Program for the Deaf.

After more than 80 years, the Columbus Speech & Hearing Center continues to offer consumers across Ohio with quality and professional service, never losing sight of the Center''''''''s mission. The Center has a constant presence in the Columbus community and its surrounding areas by raising awareness of speech and hearing challenges.
