FAIRFIELD, Conn. In recognition of national Better Hearing & Speech Month (BHSM), Sacred Heart University’s speech-language pathology (SLP) program is sharing an important message. With an estimated 10% to 30% of COVID-19 survivors experiencing “long-haul” symptoms including cognitive issues and swallowing difficulties speech-language pathologists (SLPs) at SHU are encouraging the public to seek care from qualified experts who can help them regain their functioning and quality of life.
The pandemic has posed many challenges for society, few more persistent or vexing than the difficulties many people experience for months after contracting COVID-19. From brain fog, to problems eating and drinking, to speech and language problems, these difficulties can affect someone’s return to work, the ability to take care of family, and overall recovery.

After the billions of Brood X cicadas finally begin to emerge, which will be any day now, it will be another 5 days or so until the males start singing to attract mates.
And when they begin vibrating their tymbals – rigid, drum-like membranes on the male insect’s abdomen - they will be delivering a noise level of 85 to 90 decibels and even more.
