Hi Joan! Listened to a good program on NPR yesterday about research being done to make improvements to hearing aids which would allow better focus on individual sounds. I'll see if I can find a link to pass along to you.
Thanks, Paul. There are lots of improvements in hearing tech and some whopper price tags to go along with them. I’ll be in the market for a new set in a couple of years and while I can hear conversations with no trouble in restaurants, it’s the announcements over public transport speakers that are difficult.
Thanks Joan. As someone who has worked with folks with disabilities for over a decade, that one important piece of legislation that progressively gave that group a hand up. And there's still more work to be done. Thanks for highlighting this.
