The Audiology Clinic at The HILL

Empowering Student Success Through Hearing Health

Hearing is a fundamental sense for learning, communication, and language development. Research indicates that approximately 5 per 1,000 school-aged children have a hearing loss. The Audiology Clinic at The HILL is dedicated to identifying hearing challenges early and connecting students with the care they need to succeed in the classroom.

Location & Facility

The Audiology Clinic is located on the 4th floor of The HILL (Hub for Innovative Learning & Leadership) - Fayette County Public Schools' modern learning facility in downtown Lexington, KY.

What to Expect

  • Comfortable Testing Environment: Evaluations are tailored to your child's developmental level to ease any "doctor's office" anxiety.
