Plattsburgh State University Speech and Hearing Center

About this hearing center

Faculty in the Department of Communication Disorders and Sciences of the State University of New York College at Plattsburgh operate the Speech and Hearing Center. The center serves as an academic facility for student clinicians and also provides a community service for persons with communication and hearing disorders.

The center is a non-profit research, service, and training facility and, as such, receives some funding from state appropriations to the college. To provide for proper maintenance of equipment and replacement of consumable items, a fee schedule has been established. The center accepts most major insurance plans and offers a sliding payment scale for those individuals without insurance coverage.

See the hours section for a list of days and times we are open to the public. The center closes for scheduled periods that coincide with the college calendar since it serves as an academic training facility for the college. Summer hours are scheduled for specified periods.

It is our policy that all students, staff and participants in our clinical services are to be treated in a non-discriminatory manner without regard to race, creed, color, sex, age, national origin, sexual orientation, participation restriction, or status as a parent.
