SUMMARY:Understanding Hearing Loss
DESCRIPTION:Overall\, 60% of adult Canadians report some hearing loss. In older adults\, hearing loss often happens gradually over time. This loss can easily go undetected. It may interfere with communication and often leaves seniors feeling quite isolated and misunderstood. It can also become a common source of frustration for caregivers. However\, support is available. \nJoin us for an information session with Janie Durette\, audioprosthesist\, to learn more about : \n• Signs and causes of hearing loss\n• The impact of hearing loss\n• Aids and other tools to help improve hearing and communication skills \nRegistration required as places are limited. \nYou or your loved one can benefit from a free on-site hearing test after this session. \nFill in this form to register. \n
