24-- “Staying Connected” . Megan Nightingale,
Port Townsend Audiologist. Like various
technological devices that delight or bedevil us, hearing equipment
continues to evolve to help us connect to our worldvia phone, hearing
aid, other special devices. These advances reflect
increasing awareness that various hearing situations call for different
solutions. Multiple programs in hearing aids are
an example familiar to most of us. Megan will bring us
up to date on such developments.

steps to hearing health: (1) hearing aids or implants, (2) assistive
devices ---equipment used with or instead of your hearing aids such as an

family, friends, and institutions.
