Technologies will help all hear well

Fan-Gang Zeng, Ph.D. Professor and Director Center for Hearing Research

Fan-Gang is well known by many people with hearing loss in Southern California who have participated in some of his research studies.  

Hearing is the first sense to occur and the last one to go in humans. Hearing loss is invisible and presents a challenge in speech communication especially in noise. Hearing aids and cochlear implants have been stagnant in the last two decades but new technologies from AirPods to artificial intelligence are emerging to help all including people with hearing loss hear well, communicate better and have a more interesting life. The ear, as a natural man-machine interface, will be at the center of this technological revolution. As a result, hearing loss is no longer a stigma and ear devices will be a fashion statement.

October 13, 2020

Due to COVID 19, regular meetings will be online until further notice.

The October 13, meeting will be a virtual meeting.

What we thought was going to be a few weeks of isolation, has become a 6 month hibernation, and possibly something we will continue to deal with for months to come. Wearing masks has become a HUGE barrier to communication- especially for those of us with hearing loss and who need lip reading to survive. Join us on Tuesday, October 13th at 2 pm, as audiologists Ann Mundell-Noel, and Dr. Laura Hunt of Amazing Hearing give us some much needed tips for thriving. We will discuss strategies and ways to improve communication- with or without a mask.
