Professional Arts Building 99 Sinclair Ave., Suite 210 Georgetown (905) 873-6642 NOISE INDUCED HEARING LOSS (NIHL) There are several things that determine whether or not a sound can damage your hearing, including the loudness of the sound and the duration of exposure. Hearing loss can occur as a result of a one-time exposure to a loud sound, or repeated exposure to loud sounds. However, some individuals will be more suspectible to NIHL and there is really no way to tell who these individuals are: Sounds louder than 80 decibels (dB) are considered dangerously loud and could potentially cause a NIHL. Below is a list of the dB level of some sounds that may be encountered during the course of a day. 60 db Average conversation level 70 dB Vacuum cleaner 80 dB Alarm Clock 90 dB Lawnmower 100 db Chain saw 110 dB Rock Music 120 dB Jet during take-off 130 dB Jackhammer 140 dB Firearms At the Georgetown Hearing Clinic we specialize in custom fitted hearing protection.

The tongue should touch the inner surface of the lower denture and not be pulled away from it when talking or eating. Please do not experiment with your denture. Never try repair, reline or adjust the denture yourself. These Do-It-Yourself jobs can be very destructive to the tissue and bone ridge on which the denture rests. Only a dental professional is qualified to refit your denture properly. The assumption that dentures will last a lifetime is incorrect, because though the denture will not change, the tissue will. This inevitable tissue change will result in an ill-fitting, uncomfortable denture. Relines, duplications or a new denture will be necessary to correct this problem. If you have any questions or concerns regarding your denture or partial, give our office a call. You do not need a referral; simply call our office direct. Independent & Free Press, Wednesday, August 20, 2008 17 Georgetowns sporting community is mourning the loss of one of its most dedicated and unabashed supporters after the passing of Norm Lockhurst on Sunday. He was 67. Lockhurst not only starred as a goaltender for Georgetown Raider intermediate teams in the 1970s, he took on many organizational roles including coach, manager, trainer, announcer and executive member. Receiving the Georgetown Hockey Heritage Award in 1995, Lockhurst helped found the Georgetown Jr. B Gemini hockey club in 1975 and was involved in both youth hockey and the Norval Industrial Oldtimers. Stormin Normans springs and summers were devoted to softball and fastpitch in a similarily passionate way as a player and volunteer. Norm was a tremendous part of Georgetowns hockey community and an important part of the towns social fibre as well, said Dave Kentner, chair of the Georgetown Hockey Heritage Council. He was a superstar goalie who led the Raiders on about a five-year run that was sim- ply outstanding. He retired from playing in 1977 and he could have quit years before then, because he had won everything that there was out there, but he kept playing because he knew the Raiders needed a good goalie. I guess two of my fondest mem- ories of Georgetown hockey were when the midget squad won two years in a row, and when the Raiders took the Hardy Cup in 1982. That was something to see, Lockhurst said upon receiving his Georgetown Hockey Heritage Award. He is survived by son Heath (Sara) and daughter Kristy (Buzz) and four grandchildren, along with brother Herb (Carol). Friends will be received at the J.S. Jones & Son Funeral Home on Thursday from 2-4 p.m. and 7-9 p.m., followed by a memorial service on Friday at the chapel Friday at 11 a.m. Norm Lockhurst Sports community mourns loss Local resident John Grace is an Ontario champion in 2008 for two different triathlon distances after winning his age group at a cou- ple of races recently.
