Shabbat Services and Hearing/Hearing Loss Presentation
September 14, 2024 @ 10:30 am - 12:30 pm
Join us for Shabbat Services led by Rabbi Micah Streiffer followed by a community kiddush and a presentation on Hearing and Hearing Loss by Catherine O’Connor, BA, M.Div, RSW.
Catherine is a Hearing Care Counsellor covering Simcoe County who will talk about the signs of hearing loss, how to communicate more effectively with someone who is hard of hearing, and also about what to watch out for when buying a hearing aid, as hearing aids can be quite pricey. She wears hearing aids herself, so is quite knowledgeable on how effective they are, but also about the times they don’t work so well, and how to navigate around the communication barriers we face every day.
