Are Available in So. California

Now middle schools and high schools throughout Southern California have an opportunity to give their teen students the face-to-face facts about noise-induced hearing loss, compliments of House Ear Institute’s teen initiative, It’s How You Listen that Counts®.  This program is based on House Ear Institute’s successful online initiative launched in January. 2006, and has received rave reviews from several teachers and students who have hosted our workshops to-date.
 

    “Teachers and students praised [House Ear Institute instructor] Arineh for her presentation and knowledge. When at lunch you hear students talking about what they learned, you know it was a valuable experience.”  - Douglas Buhler, Math Dept. Chairman, South Pasadena Middle School
