Hearing keeps us in contact with life, with people, with the sounds of the world around us. It is a priceless gift. Sometimes our hearing fails us. Hearing loss can happen to anyone, regardless of age. Occasionally children are born with hearing defects. Hearing loss may be caused by infections, head injuries, prolonged exposure to loud noise, certain medications and of course the acting process. The latest development in hearing instruments is known as digital technology, the driving force behind computers, fax machines and satellite communications. This has transformed our lives in ways no one could have imagined. Just as the compact disc (CD) forever changed how we listen to music, new digital hearing aids are revolutionizing the way hearing health care professionals help people hear better. If you or one of your family members suspects a hearing loss, call... The Georgetown Are your Dentures: DENTURE WEARERS TAKE THIS TEST ( ) requiring lots of paste or powder to stay put?
