Thanks to Sue Schy’s efforts, with help from Andrea Kaneb who is an N-CHATT volunteer, we had our second virtual meeting [May 16] and our first with captions, using Google Meet. It was great to see 20 participants including a few from other MA chapters, who were present to hear Kevin Franck, the head of audiology at Mass Eye and Ear, speak about hearing loss in the age of Covid-19. He spoke about services that are available at MEEI and much useful information that is accessible from the MEEI website https://www.
If you go to your website you can find lots of helpful information that you can transfer to your own smart phone by holding it up to the code In the upper right corner. This includes helpful communication tools if you need to go to the hospital and online resources. If you don’t have them already thIs is a good time to download a transcribing app like Otter for iPhones or Live Transcribe for Androids that can help with communicating in a hospital setting. There is also a list of things to take with you if you should need to go to the hospital – including your hearing aids! Care and maintenance of hearing aids was also discussed.
