I think most of you know me pretty well. It doesnt matter when our paths may have crossed. Maybe some of you like me and some dont, but if youre on my Facebook its because I like you. I would love to see if we can still chat, with more than just likes, and actually write something to each other. Ive decided to participate in an experiment called Meeting Between Bread. The idea is to see who reads a post without a photo. We are so deep into technology that we have forgott...en the most important thing: good friendship. If no-one is reading this message then it will be a short social experiment. But if you finish this to the end, I would love you to comment in one word about us, for example a place, an object, a person, a moment in which you remember me. Then copy this text and post it on your page (dont share) and Ill go to your page to leave a word that reminds me of you. Please dont comment if you dont have time to copy the text. This will destroy the experiment. Lets see who spent the time to read and respond to the request. Thank you for participating. See more

A SHORT - HEARING AID HISTORY "Deaf people can do anything hearing people can, except hear." Dr. King Jordan.... According to the World Health Organisation, an estimated 466 million people worldwide have disabling hearing loss. As early as the 13th century, those with hearing loss were using hollowed out horns of animals such as cows and rams as primitive hearing devices. Hearing loss has affected people throughout history; Thomas Edison 1847 1931, known by many as Americas greatest inventor spent much of his life with little to no hearing. Thomas Edison said Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. In 1898, after 4 years of hard work and engineering Miller Reese Hutchinson created the first electric hearing aid. The motivation to develop the device called Akouphone, was to help a friend, Lyman Gould who was deaf and mute due to childhood Yellow Fever. Thanks to technology developed during World War II, the late 1940s finally saw the production of hearing aids with circuit boards and button-sized batteries, allowing the batteries, amplifier and microphone to be combined into one portable, pocket-sized unit. Today, people such as Pete Townshend, lead guitarist of the famed British rock group The Who and our very own Queen Elizabeth are able to discreetly wear hearing loss devices and enjoy the benefits of hearing. If you or your favorite senior are looking for hearing aid assistance and prefer to receive services in your own home, we recommend one of our preferred service providers, Hear at Home. Hear at Home offers a unique service, providing in-home hearing testing and is 100% mobile. They offer a variety of services from hearing testing, hearing aid fitting and hearing aid follow up appointments done in the comfort of your own private home, care facility or hospital. They offer hearing solutions tailored to you or your loved one and offer on-going support after the hearing aid fitting. www.hearathome.ca
