GUEST SPEAKER

Gayle introduced speaker Jayne Glenn who spoke on hearing loss.  Very informative session. 

We filled out a survey Jayne will use in her Master’s degree for adult education.  10 % of all persons have hearing loss.  Unfortunately, hearing loss is not as visible as wheel chairs and white canes.  We listened to a recording of the same words in three levels of sound.  We wrote down the words we thought we heard.  After comparing correct answers, I had four answers out of ten.  The words sounded close but were not correct.  For example, pipe and kite, pub and tub, find and vine.  Jayne explained she wears two hearing aids and told us tips to help people with hearing loss.  Try to limit background noise, speak one at a time, wave, touch, speak clearly and use body language to say you understand.  Her last comment was don’t keep it a secret.  Frank then thanked Jayne with a touching story of his own.

Andy concluded the meeting with the four way test.
