About this event
The purpose of this program is to provide awareness, criteria, tools, and strategies to live well with hearing loss. The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communications Disorders reports 25% of seniors in their sixties; 50% in their seventies; 80% in their 80's experience functionally significant hearing loss. Treating hearing loss problems early is important for cognitive health, making it a public health concern (National Academies of Sciences). Hearing loss is a recognized disability (albeit invisible) by the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA). What can we do to improve quality of life with hearing loss!
This presentation will be given by Judy Alden, who has severe, genetic and age-related hearing loss, and she uses bilateral-power hearing aids. She is President of the Hearing Loss Association of America, DC Chapter. She is a cohort with the Network of Consumer Hearing Assistive Technology Trainers. Judy’s passion is to support those with hearing loss. She has a BS, MA, and MBA and is a former American University Kogod School of Business adjunct lecturer.
