Perhaps the most common, under-diagnosed disability is
hearing loss. Tens of millions of people are affected now; and this number
will double as baby boomers mature. Grinnell Regional Medical Center’s
Senior Education program will host James R. Paulson, MD, as he presents, “What
Did He/She Say?”
Paulson will address questions like: Why do we lose
our hearing and more importantly, what can we do about it? What are coils
and loops? What can we do in our community to maximize and help those with
hearing disabilities? Hopefully you will learn the answers to these questions
and more at Grinnell Regional Medical Center’s SE*ED program on Monday, July
13.
This program is free and open to the public. It will
be held in the Drake Community Library with refreshments beginning at 9:30 a.m.
Parking is available at the Drake Community Library, along Park Street, on
Fifth Avenue, and in the First Presbyterian Church parking lot.
Seniors needing transportation may call GRMC
Communications and Development, 641-236-2593, by Thursday before the program.
If you are a person with a disability who requires
special assistance, please call 641-236-2593. For more information about
