Does anyone in this group have friends or family in an NC nursing home? I would like to talk with them. For some reason my name does not appear: Kathy Dowd. kdowd01@att.net or 704-502-5016.
Thanks!

Contact Isaac by email at ila2111@cumc.columbia.edu, if you would like to participate in his research survey for his medical degree, on the effect of hearing loss on music enjoyment :

“Hello! My name is Isaac Alter; I am a medical student in the department of Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery (ear, nose, and throat surgery) at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital (Columbia and Weill Cornell). I am also a former professional Broadway musician, with a lifelong passion for music and the effects that it can have on people.
I am conducting a study with Dr. Anil Lalwani and Dr. Alex Chern (who is a hearing aid user and HLAA member himself) examining the effect of hearing loss on music enjoyment. We are actively recruiting a) individuals with bilateral hearing aids (a hearing aid in each ear) and b) individuals with at least one cochlear implant to complete a 20-30 min online study; if you have two hearing aids OR a cochlear implant, we would love to have you participate. The study involves listening to musical clips on your computer and answering questions about them. No headphones or other special equipment is required. "
