As we transition into a mask wearing world, there are a couple of important ways that this can impact the hard of hearing. Our latest blog post goes over how masks can reduce speech intelligibility and also pose an increased risk for losing hearing aids.

Springtime brings sun, warmer weather, and more time spent outdoors! Although these are wonderful things, those with hearing aids have to be aware of allergies, more background noise and people around which can be stressful.

Have you ever wondered how hearing aids are made? Hearing aids may be small, but they are packed with groundbreaking technology that helps millions of people hear better.

We have made the decision to limit our hours for the rest of the week to 10:00am-2:00pm. We are requesting that people only come in for emergency services (broken hearing aid, to pick up a repaired hearing aid, sudden hearing loss, etc.). We can continue to mail out batteries and supplies. Please order by phone or on our website. If you have been out of the country in the past 14 days or are experiencing any symptoms, please do not come into our offices for any circumstance. We thank you for your help in keeping our staff and clients safe during this troubling time.

We are incredibly proud to announce we surpassed our fundraising goal of $3,500 for Coldest Night of the Year. The Davidson's team With the outpouring support of our community, Capital City Mission and Jericho Road was able to surpass their goal of raising $100,000.

Did you know the telephone can only transmit sound within a limited frequency bandwidth of 340Hz to 3400Hz. Considering natural speech is made up of a much larger frequency range spanning across 250 to 8000 Hz, this means certain parts of speech are being compressed or cut out through transmission. Learn more about hearing loss and the telephone in our latest blog post.

Fundraising Goal Update We have raised $2992 of our $3500 goal and are looking to continue raising funds before the fundraising walk on February 22nd, 2020. For every thousand dollars raised we are giving away a hearing aid to someone in need. Together, we're collecting donations that fund critical services at a local charity partner who serves and supports vulnerable families and individuals in our CNOY community.

The Coldest Night of the Year is a moment when tens of thousands of Canadians step outside the warmth and comfort of home and shine a light of welcome and inclusion.
