||| FROM LENA KASSA for ORCAS SENIOR CENTER |||
Hearing, Speech & Deaf Center @ Orcas Senior Center – Tuesday, November 14, 10:30 am
As we age, we all experience changes in our hearing. These changes often come on gradually and we only notice when it is already a significant barrier to communication. These barriers often lead people to start to withdraw from communication and from social opportunities.
On Tuesday, November 14 at 10:30 am at Orcas Senior Center, Joel Bergsbaken, from the Hearing, Speech & Deaf Center, will be giving a presentation about hearing changes as we age, technology and techniques that improve communication, and free support services available to the community to prevent withdrawal and isolation.
Joel will also be available from 1:00 to 4:00 pm to meet with individuals for one-on-one consultations to discuss hearing change, hearing loss, communication, community barriers, and listening technology.
Contact Joel at 360-647-0910 or jbergsbaken@hsdc.org to set up an appointment or for more information. Open to everyone!
