FOR OVER 47 YEARS, the Auditory Verbal Center, Inc. (AVC), a nonprofit organization 501(c)(3), has provided a family-centered and holistic approach to supporting and improving the lives of the deaf or hard of hearing.
AVC offers truly unique services, making it one of only a few such centers in the United States offering comprehensive Auditory-Verbal therapy and a full-service Audiology & Hearing Aid Clinic. We focus on listening and spoken language, with locations in Atlanta and Macon and we also offer Teletherapy services for families who are unable to attend in the clinic, due to distance or limited transportation. The Audiology & Hearing Aid Clinic is at the Atlanta location and serves anyone from birth to seniors with the primary focus of adult clients. The Listening and Spoken Language Specialists in the Auditory-Verbal Program teach children with all degrees of hearing loss how to listen and speak WITHOUT the use of sign language or lip reading. All of our highly-trained specialists can offer services and consultation or referrals on a vast variety of issues concerning auditory-verbal therapy, cochlear implants, hearing aids and a host of other hearing impaired resources for the deaf or hard of hearing. |

WHO ARE WE?
Each year, thousands of children are born with hearing loss. We are laying the foundation for these children for a lifetime of listening and speaking without the need for sign language or lip reading.
MEET JAKE
Jake and his parents share a bit of their journey and how insurance wouldn't cover their services, but that didn't stop their son from getting the services he needed. Jake is now a graduate of the Auditory Verbal Therapy program and is thriving in the hearing world!

SUMMER SOCIAL
Every year, we host family socials where current clients and alumni gather for a fun day with other families who are going through the same journey. Stories shared, new friendships made, catching up with alumni... it's always a special time for everyone.
MEET SAMANTHA AND JONATHAN
Samantha and Jonathan are siblings and were both born profoundly deaf. Samantha wears a Cochlear Implant and Hearing Aid and Jonathan wears a Cochlear Implant. Despite their parents being told they would never be able to hear and speak, they are now thriving as adults as independent communicators through listening and speaking.
