Hearing Aid Technology Seminar

John West john.west@ieee.org (727) 743-2267	Thursday, August 28, 2008 at 6:00PM
	Meeting Description This seminar will provide an excellent overview about everything you want to know about your hearing and the hearing aid technology. We will introduce you to the physiology of hearing, hearing loss and measurements. After that we will give you a grand tour of hearing aid technology - then and now (current state of the art digital HA). Hearing aid fitting and verification will be provided followed by a discussion of debunking myths about hearing loss and aids. People are very conscious about wearing hearing aids while everyone is so comfortable wearing their eyeglasses or spectacles. May be it is our hope that though such seminars we can break that perceived stigmatization.
