About Us
Northeast Hearing & Speech (NHS) is a non-profit hearing and speech center that has been serving the communities of southern Maine since 1924. Our dedicated clinicians offer a complete range of services to help people of all ages to hear, speak, and communicate. Audiologists provide comprehensive hearing evaluations for newborns to the elderly, and dispense and service hearing aids and assistive listening devices from the leading hearing aid manufacturers. Speech-Language Pathologists provide speech-language evaluations and therapy for children and adults with speech-language impairments, language/learning disabilities, stuttering and voice disorders, brain injuries, and other neurological disorders (e.g., Parkinson’s Disease, ALS, etc.).

Each of our Audiologists and Speech-Language Pathologists holds a Master’s degree, state license, and Certificate of Clinical Competence from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA).
