Welcome to "Now HEAR This"! It's about hearing impaired people, information and how they relate! This newsletter examines issues, products, news and technology for the hard of hearing and is sent only to subscribers.
Hello everyone,
Well, spring has sprung ... and summer is just around the corner. Better Hearing and Speech Month is almost over and this long awaited newsletter is finally here! We are covering a wide range of topics in this edition of the Newsletter: noise and safety; cochlear implants; disposable hearing aids; closed captioning at the movies; a sign language Barbie doll; music induced hearing loss; and much more ...

Thank you to everyone over the last couple of months for all your valuable feedback! Please keep it coming. You may have already noticed many changes to the website, including the latest navigational change. Apparently, not everyone has entered the web site through the index page. Instead, they have come into the web site using search engines or other links and have ended up lost, deep within the site. Thus, they had no idea what else was on the web site, or how to find it. Therefore, for your convenience, we have put a guide on every page to help visitors find their way back to the home/index page. For example, if you are on the "hearing impaired books for adults" page, the guide is at the top of the page and looks something like this:
index > products & technology > books, journals & videos > adult books
