Dogwood Pavilion will host a presentation next Tuesday with a representative from Connect Hearing who will help participants understand hearing loss and how to cope.
There will time for questions from the audience at the event, to be held at 1 p.m. April 3, and, for anyone interested, a free hearing screening.
Hearing loss may be so gradual that you don't even notice it. You may feel people are not speaking clearly or loudly enough, causing you to feel left out of conversations. In fact, your spouse, your friends or your family members may be aware you have hearing loss long before you are. One out of three people over the age of 65 have hearing loss, but only 30% of those with hearing loss do something about it.
The presentation is free but pre-registration is required. To register and for more information, call 604-927-6098.
Dogwood Pavilion is a Coquitlam recreation centre for people 50 and older; it's located at 624 Poirier St.
