Today I had the pleasure of meeting many wonderful people while conducting free hearing screenings at the Littleton Council on Aging. It was nice to be able to use my new screening equipment, which is state-of-the-art technology that uses distortion product oto-acoustic emissions to evaluate the function of the inner ear. This method of screening makes it very easy for the individual being tested, as it requires very little participation. "All you have to do is sit back and relax" and it only takes a couple of minutes in each ear for the results! Many of the folks were surprised to see that I was wearing a new receiver-in-the-ear (RITE) style hearing aid on my right ear- as it was barely noticeable. Looking forward to next month!
