PROGRAM

BETTY SUDDARTH introduced Robert Novak, Professor in the Department of Audiology and Speech Sciences (and husband of Rotarian JULIE NOVAK).  He described causes of hearing loss, saying that unrehabilitated hearing loss causes disengagement.  The several solutions take a commitment on the part of the person with the hearing loss to correct the situation.  Technology is improving but still not completely satisfactory.  The best way to prevent hearing loss is to take good care of your body and to avoid loud noises.
