While working at Bell Laboratories, West and his colleague produced this tiny, inexpensive, and highly sensitive microphone. This technology is still used today in nearly any device with a microphone, including hearing aids! #BlackHistoryMonth

“One thing that surprised me is how much less fatigued I felt after long work days.”
The result of wearing hearing aids will likely surprise you, as 8 in 10 who chose to treat their hearing loss report life-changing results. https://t.co/G1Earv1vDu #HearWell

After our first visit with IHS Member Hillary Wright, BC-HIS, we just had to stop by with the rest of staff.

What a fantastic opportunity to learn more about what happens during a hearing test and how the process goes for fitting a hearing aid!
