• competition for the month.


Though the weather was dull and rather cool everyone joined in the spirit of the event and donned straw ■ hat and gloves. One member, Mrs Dorothy Dixon, was particu­ larly imaginative and was the winner with her hat literal­ ly decorated with straw from the local farm. Second was Mrs Marie Ether­ ington and third was Mrs Helen Hebden.


An excellent after­ noon tea was enjoyed by all, hav­ ing been prepared by Mrs Mottershaw.

Digital Hearing Nearly 15% of the population have a degree of hearing loss,


’ that’s 1 in 7 people in the East Lancs area. The majority of people can be helped by the provision of a hearing aid, yet traditionally more than half choose not to wear them. Reasons commonly given are that the Aids are too big


■ and bulky, that they whistle, and that they amplify too


' much background sound. However, things have changed . . ' dramatically since the introduction of Digital Technology.


•Andrew Friel RHAD B.Sc. of the Hearing Centre, Burnley,


• says “Modem Digital Hearing Aids are effectively mini- - computers'within the Ear, that analyse sound, control,


volume automatically and reduce unwanted noise or feedback. The latest generation of Hearing Aids have a


■ form of Artificial Intelligence, which allows Dispensers to apply new Audiological solutions, and deliver better


' ear canal, so people no longer have to be self conscious about wearing them”. In the Ear Digital Hearing Aids start
