<html><head><style type="text/css"><!-- DIV {margin:0px;} --></style></head><body><div style="font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:12pt"><DIV>On Sunday, there was an announcement at church for anyone wearing hearing aids to not have them all the way turned up as they would interfere with the sound system and cause feedback.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am an Audiologist and I feel concerned about this request, as I don't believe hearing aids have anything to do with the sound system feeding back. I have never heard of this before.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I would like to make a suggestion to assist people in learning to use their hearing aids with our sound system. I would like to offer to set-up a table during coffee time after the services on some Sunday and offer to look at people's hearing aids, assist them in discovering if they have compatible technology with our sound system, and demonstrate our assistive devices to them. I can also assess the status of their hearing aids' condition as a plus. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am interested in the sound system on several levels. I believe I may be able to help in reducing the feedback that happens in the system without having to lose so much gain (volume). I have a theory that I'd like to experiment with a bit, if we can work with Ruth from sound. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Any input on this?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>
