SPEAKER
AND SUBJECT: Ms. Vivian Holmes on How to Retain Your Hearing.
SUMMARY OF
TALK
Forty
million Americans have hearing loss problems. Many think that it is
mostly age related, but now many young people have the problem
from listening to very loud music. Ringing in the ears is caused by
titinitis. Some people hear talking but do not know what is exactly
said. The earlier the better to go to an audiologist for a hearing
test. Serious injuries can result, for example, crossing the street
and not hearing an oncoming car. It is depressing when you no longer
can hear what a grandchild is saying. Young people can have hearing
loss from a concussion during sports. Also veterans from combat
noise. Hearing aids are very expensive and usually not covered by
insurance. AARP only gives discounts. Help American Hearing is a
small organization is a last resort. It helps students in colleges
and vocation schools. Or you can go to better hearing.com. One needs
an audiologist to be fitted correctly. Don't delay and get over
emotional barriers.
This
Friday, tomorrow, if not canceled due to the snow, the speaker will
be Marylyn Masiero, the district governor nominee, on the Rotary
Foundation. The meeting, if not canceled, will be at Maya Riviera,
the former Etruscan Grill, just north of The Briar's.

SPEAKER
AND SUBJECT: Ms. Vijaya Jain re Global Malnutrion.
SUMMARY OF
TALK
This
very informative talk was well received and held the attention of all
Rotarians. The most critical age for children is two. Without
vitamins, nutrients and enough food, children can have stunted
growth, early blindness, lower IQ and even death. Most only
get a good meal at lunch at school. Vijaya projected on our screen
world hunger maps, especially in India as well as Honduras and other
parts of Central America. She spoke of successful food solutions to
reduce malnutrition and hunger. Knowledge by school staffs can help.
Hidden hunger of millions of people world wide exists.
This
Friday, tomorrow, the speaker will be Vivian Holmes on How to Retain
Your Hearing.
