Community Services for the Deaf 

Our Community Services for the Deaf (CSD) department offers a wide array of assistance to people who are deaf and hard of hearing. We raise awareness of issues related to deafness and hearing loss to the community at large. Most of our services are provided at low to no cost to the deaf and hard of hearing.

Established as a department in 1976, CSD is the only full-service and comprehensive program serving people who are deaf and hard of hearing in the Great Cincinnati area.
