- Article 1: OHL Questionnaire Results and Conclusions - Part 4
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We've finally finished tabulating and analyzing the responses to our first OHL questionnaire (whew!). We undertook this project because we sensed a growing dissatisfaction among the **Oral Hearing Loss** (OHL) population with the lack of services appropriate to them, and we wanted to get a sense of what services people want and how they should be provided.

(**We use the term "Oral Hearing Loss" to include people with hearing loss who prefer spoken language as their primary means of communications. This includes people who are hard of hearing, late-deafened, and oral deaf.**)

For general information about the survey, caveats, etc., please see part one of this article. This is part four of five parts.

Question 5

Please list any local or regional organizations that serve the Oral Hearing Loss (OHL) community. Please provide contact information, if possible.

- Article 2: SHHH Exhibits - Part 2
By Cheryl Heppner and the NVRC Staff
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Editor: One of the best things about the hearing loss conventions is a chance to see what's new in the hearing loss world. Cheryl Heppner and the NVRC staff did a great job of capturing the excitement of the exhibit floor, as you'll see in this series of reports.

If you'd like to share this article, please be sure to credit NVRC. (See credit at the end of the article.)

This is Part 2 of 4 parts.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here's more of what we learned at the exhibits during the SHHH convention in Washington, DC from June 30 to July 3, 2005. There's more to come!

Dry & Store

Katy Pindzola conducted the famous fishbowl test of Dry & Store hearing aid conditioning system two days in a row, with two new in-the-ear (ITE) hearing aids and one behind-the-ear (BTE) provided by Siemens. The hearing aids, with the batteries still in them, were whistling away when they were plopped into a fishbowl, and the whistling slowly died over 5 to 10 seconds. During the day, the hearing aids stayed submerged. At night, they were opened up, all the excess water was shaken out, and all three were set in one Dry & Store Global unit with their battery doors open and batteries still in place. The next morning, the Dry & Store had automatically shut off after 8 hours and the hearing aids were again whistling nicely. Dry & Store also came to the rescue of two people - one with a hearing aid and one with a cochlear implant - who were having moisture problems. After their devices spent 30-45 minutes in a Dry & Store units, both were believers and became customers. www.dryandstore.com; info@dryandstore.com or 1-800-327-8547.

Oticon

Maureen Doty gave us some information about the new Oticon Sumo DM hearing aid which hit the market earlier in June 2005. This BTE was designed for people with severe to profound hearing loss. The product literature describes it as "an advanced and flexible 8-channel digital Super Power BTE with output performance of 140 dB SPL and 83 dB gain." One of the most welcome features for those who need a hearing aid with that kind of strength is the hearing aid's ability to eliminate feedback without losing audibility and sound quality. The hearing aid also has a noise reduction system that attempts to preserve speech cues in noise. And for the fashionistas among us, there's a choice of colors including classy black and bright blue or red. www.otinconus.com

Ear Gear

Thanks to the Oticon exhibit, we also learned about EarGear, which is a great help for infants, toddlers and children to keep hearing aids from falling off or getting lost. There's a little spandex boot that fits behind-the-ear hearing aids, including a larger size that can also accommodate an FM unit. The spandex sock comes in nine colors or patterns. The company was started by the parents of a child who wore BTEs. The boot protects the hearing aids from sweat, moisture, dust and dirt too, and the spandex material can make the hearing aids more comfortable to wear. www.gearforears.com; info@gearforears.com; 1-888-766-1838.

Hearing Solutions of Fairfax, P.C.

Vivian L. Muccio, M.A., CCC-A, FAAA of Hearing Solutions of Fairfax provides audiological consultations, hearing aid evaluations and fittings, hearing aid repairs and services, custom swim plugs and ear protection, assistive listening devices and ear molds. Hearing tests and consultations are free, and a hearing aid loaner may be given with repairs. The office is located at 10721 Main Street #302 in Fairfax, in the front building of the Fairfax Medical Center next to the Fairfax Nursing Home. 571-432-0640.

Starkey

Starkey was displaying its new DaVinci PxP behind-the-ear hearing aid for people with "extreme hearing loss." Features include an 80 dB SPL gain and 140 dB SPL output, precision directional imaging, a microphone hood designed to protect it from wax and debris, and a design that makes it easier to access the controls. There's a multi-function switch to turn it on or off and change memory. A tone tells you when the battery is low or lets you know that memory changes have been made.

Warren Draper also demonstrated ELI, Starkey's new Ear Level Instrument that uses Bluetooth to wirelessly connect a BTE to mobile phones and other Bluetooth technology such as computers, high definition TVs and sound systems. It connects directly to a BTE and has a range of up to 33 feet. The ELI can also be worn from a neck loop for connection via a BTE telecoil. Power comes from a rechargeable battery with a charge that lasts up to 2.5 hours in continuous use and takes 1.5 hours to recharge. www.starkey.com

Soundbytes

Soundbytes has a catalog with a variety of vibrating watches, including a stopwatch, a timer with a very long ring, loud ring and vibrating clocks. It also has a line of amplified telephones, voice carry over phones, TTYs, ring signalers, answering and recording machines, headsets and accessories for cell phones. Listening systems, books, hearing aid cleaning tools and accessories are also available. www.soundbytes.com; info@soundbytes.com.

AUDIENT

AUDIENT Alliance for Accessible Health Care is a new nonprofit program which helps to get access to hearing care for people with limited financial resources. A network of hearing care and professional suppliers offer their services to the program at a discount. You will get two new fully digital BTE hearing aids for $988 and two upgraded hearing aids with directional microphones for $1,040. You'll also receive an examination by a licensed hearing professional, a discussion of the tests results, custom hearing aid earmolds, a 30-day trial period, and free shipping & handling.

AUDIENT is a nonprofit developed by Northwest Hearing Care, a division of Northwest Lions Foundation for Sight and Hearing. info@audientalliance.org; www.audientalliance.org; 1-877-AUDIENT.

American Association of the Deaf-Blind

The American Association of the Deaf-Blind was advertising its National Conference, which will be held at Towson University in Baltimore, MD from June 17-23, 2006. Elizabeth Spiers had a number of handouts about AADB and various services. She also displayed information about the Helen Keller National Center for Deaf-Blind Youths and Adults (HKNC), which provides comprehensive vocational rehabilitation training to adults who are deaf-blind at its headquarters in New York. HKNC also has 10 regional offices, over 40 affiliated agencies, and professional training and services for older adults.

- Article 3: HEI Launches Hearing Conservation Program for MTV Generation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Editor: We've known for some time that today's kids are damaging their hearing far beyond what earlier generations did, and that the main culprit is loud music. We've seen reports that as many as 17% of high school kids have significant hearing loss! But we haven't seen anyone doing much about it - until now.

The House Ear Institute just announced a new program to make kids aware of the dangers of their music listening habits. Here's the notice.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Teens and young adults - the so-called "MTV Generation" - are the newest target audience of the House Ear Institute's Sound Partners hearing conservation program. Over the past few years, audio professionals and musicians have benefited from hearing conservation workshops, materials and hearing screenings provided by the Institute's Sound Partners program and its sponsors at industry events. Reaching tens of thousands of industry professionals since its inception, the program's efforts to date have resulted in improved hearing conservation practices within the music and pro-audio industries. The Institute sees a growing urgency to expand its program beyond these industries to reach young consumer audiences, who typically crank up the volume in a world wired for sound, but generally are unaware of the serious risks that loud decibels (exceeding 85 dB) can pose to their hearing. Yet, this sector of the population that considers loud to be synonymous with cool can be particularly challenging to influence in ways that will effect behavioral change.

The House Ear Institute, with support from its industry sponsors and assistance from DeCarolis Design & Marketing Agency, will launch a nine-month test market campaign in Phoenix, Arizona in January 2006 to address this challenge through a series of promotions targeted to teens and comprehensive market research to analyze the results. "This is a vital first step to discovering what it will take to reach this vulnerable sector of the population and ignite a sense of urgency and concern among teens who have an avid appreciation for great sound," said Marilee Potthoff, marketing director, House Ear Institute. "Baby boomers who have early-onset hearing loss from the loud activities of their youth regret that they didn't know enough to protect their hearing from permanent damage when they were young. Our challenge is delivering an effective warning message to the next generation before it's too late."

About the House Ear Institute

The House Ear Institute (HEI) is a private, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to advancing hearing science through research and education to improve quality of life. HEI scientists are exploring the causes of auditory disorders at the cellular and molecular level as well as the complex ear-brain interaction, and refining the application of auditory implants, diagnostic techniques and hearing aids.
