Hearing and Communication: How it Affects Your Life
Good hearing is essential for being active in your life. Even if you don’t have a hearing loss, many of the people around you may have trouble hearing clearly. This can cause some funny and sometimes difficult situations.
In this month’s NNORC Breakfast Club, we will cover what a hearing loss really means, learn about the prevalence of hearing loss, and discuss ways that we all can communicate better in our everyday lives.
Our presenter is Debra E. Trees, Au.D., who is an Audiology Supervisor at St. Peter’s Hospital for 29 years. Debra currently serves as a member of the Capital Area Speech and Healing Association, the NYS Speech, Language and Hearing Association, and the American Speech-Language Hearing Association. In 2012, she was recognized as a Distinguished Alumni of The College of St. Rose in 2012 and she mentors graduate interns in their Communication Disorders Program. Debra has published research and descriptive articles and is currently working on publication of an online continuing education program about hearing loss for nurses.
The program will be held on Wednesday, September 14 from 9:30-1100 a.m. at Albany JCC (340 Whitehall Road, Albany).
