šŸŒˆ Celebrating Pride Month at Sound Speech & Hearing Clinic

Written By Jody Vaynshtok

At Sound Speech and Hearing Clinic, we believe that communication is not just a skillā€¦itā€™s a right. A right to be heard, to be seen, and to be celebrated for exactly who you are. This June, we're honoring Pride Month by uplifting the voices, identities, and stories that make our community so vibrant.

šŸ³ļøā€āš§ļø Gender-Affirming Voice Care: Every Voice Deserves to Be Heard

One of the most powerful ways we support the LGBTQ+ community is through our Gender-Affirming Voice Program. This specialized therapy helps transgender, nonbinary, and gender-diverse individuals explore and align their voice with their gender identity in a safe, supportive, and inclusive space.

Whether you're navigating pitch, resonance, vocal endurance, or communication style, our team of speech-language pathologists is here to walk beside you. This month we are extending our support outside our clinic walls with weekly Gender Affirming Voice office hours. Check out the schedule and hop online to ask your questions and learn tips/tricks to help support your true voice.

šŸŽ§ Protect With Pride: Hearing Health That Gives Back

This month, weā€™re also launching a special Pride promotion for our custom hearing protectionā€¦because loving your ears is always in style.

šŸŒˆ Order any rainbow custom earplugs in June and:

  • Receive 10% off your order

  • Weā€™ll donate 10% of each sale to a local LGBTQ+ nonprofit

Whether you're heading to a music festival, dance floor, or parade, you can celebrate loudly and safely while supporting the community.

Appointments for custom fittings are available all month long. Contact us to schedule yours!

šŸ’– What Pride Means to Us

At our clinic, Pride isnā€™t just a month. Itā€™s a year-round commitment to providing culturally responsive, identity-affirming care. Itā€™s using the right pronouns, creating safe spaces, listening with respect, and advocating for access at every level.

This June, we invite you to join us in celebrating the power of voice, the beauty of self-expression, and the incredible LGBTQ+ individuals and families we have the honor to serve.

Thank you for being part of our community, exactly as you are.

With Pride,
The Sound Speech & Hearing Team
