About one-third of people between the ages of 65 and 74 have some hearing loss, and half of those over age 75 have difficulty hearing. This workshop will provide an overview of the causes and the psychosocial impact of hearing loss. Participants will learn about the most current diagnostic and remediation strategies employed to combat hearing disorders in the aged. Practical tips for interacting with people with hearing loss will be incorporated throughout the workshop.

Individuals with disabilities requiring accommodations should contact Teri Reinemann at treinemann@ithaca.edu or (607) 274-1607. We ask that requests for accommodations be made as soon as possible.
