Learn how to understand what people are saying even if you're having difficulty hearing them. Speechreading classes are designed for adults who wish to understand what others are saying even with background noise. Students will learn to recognize specific sounds and use that information to improve their ability to understand in all listening environments.

The classes can benefit non hearing-aid users, hearing-aid wearers, and even those fortunate enough to have normal to near normal hearing. In addition to learning speechreading, discussions include how to hear, preventing hearing loss, tinnitus, hearing aids and any other topics related to hearing and its impact on our lives.

Led by Marcia Fariss, M.S., WVC. No fee. Beginning/intermediate has no prerequisites; Advanced requires previous instruction/experience.

Would you like to join us when we meet at various restaurants, review dress rehearsals of plays at the Mountain View Center for Performing Arts, or do you just want to make new friends? If your answer is "yes," come to our Wednesday meetings.

Does hiring a limousine for a day trip appeal to you? Are there places you would like to visit but would like company? Walking is fun, but would you prefer company? A visit to our social group will answer all of these questions. You may also want to check the activities/class schedule for our next planned social event.
