CONFERENCE DETAILS

▲ There is no denying that we work in a noisy environment. A full organ, a resounding chorus, blaring trumpets, opera-trained soloists -- all are inspiring but they do present a workplace hazard when rehearsing and performing in close proximity. How can we protect our hearing from damage in these situations? What are the signs of hearing loss? When should our hearing be tested? Why are hearing aids important? How can hearing aids help in various acoustical settings? How can we help our choir members with hearing aids? This is a conversation for both old and young. Registration is open.

▲ Saturday Sharing is a series of free, once-a-month, one hour conversations on topics of interest to church musicians and others. Saturdays at 12 pm ET / 9 am PT on Zoom. Watch for upcoming topics.
