Quota International helps two children and their families pay for hearing aids
By LYDIA GEHRING
Living Editor
WOOSTER -- Sitting in the classroom and listening clearly to what a teacher is saying is one of the most important keys to a student's success. So when that is jeopardized by the child's inability to hear clearly, accomplishments are harder to earn.
Such was the case for 7-year-old Travis Roe and 6-year-old Kenzie Beckler, until their parents heard of the help available from the cooperative effort of Quota International and Siemens Hearing Instruments.
Travis wasn't passing his hearing exams when an audiologist diagnosed him with mild hearing loss, which doctors are unsure how he developed. After he was written a prescription for hearing aids for both ears, his parents, Rachel and William Roe, learned their Medicaid provider would not pay for them. They were referred by doctors to the Wooster Quota Club's "Sound Beginnings" program, which provides vouchers for hearing aids for children 18 and under.
The hearing aids Travis now has have made a huge improvement for him, his mom said, making it possible for the Orrville first-grader to enjoy learning.

Subject: Press Release: U-M Scientists Develop First Micro-Machined
Cochlea
The University of Michigan news service, Feb. 2, 2005
-----------------
U-M scientists develop first micro-machined mechanical cochlea
ANN ARBOR, Mich.—Scientists at U-M have developed the first
micro-machined, life-sized, mechanical
cochlea, the tiny organ responsible for converting acoustic vibrations
into electrical signals for
the brain to "read" and interpret as different sounds.
Most people with hearing loss have lost the ability to translate
acoustic sound waves into
electrical signals for the brain, so developing a device capable of
simulating this function is an
important step in the effort to help at least some of the estimated 560
million people who will
experience hearing loss by this year. While the U-M system is not yet
ready for use as an implant,
the 3-centimeter device could potentially be used as part of a cochlear
implant. More immediate
applications include a low-power sensor for military or commercial
applications, said College of
Engineering associate professor Karl Grosh.
The three advantages of the mechanical cochlea built at U-M are its
life-sized dimensions, its
suitability for mass production, and its use of a unique low-power
mechanical method to do acoustic
signal processing, Grosh said. The human cochlea is a snail-shaped
organ measuring about a cubic
centimeter in the inner ear. If you unwind the spiral, it would equal
the length of the U-M
mechanical cochlea. Researchers micro-machined the device using a
technique similar to those used to
make integrated circuits, which means it can be mass produced.
The mechanical cochlea works in the same way as its biological
counterpart. In the biological
cochlea, the basilar membrane, which winds along the cochlear spiral,
is stiffer at the base and
becomes softer as it approaches the center. In the engineered cochlea
developed by Grosh and
doctoral student Robert White, a fluid-filled duct etched onto a chip
acts as the cochlear spiral.
When sound waves enter the mechanical cochlea's input membrane, a wave
is created, which travels
down the duct, interacting with a tapered micro-machined membrane,
analogous to the basilar
membrane. This process allows the device to separate different
frequency tones. In the biological
cochlea, sensory hair cells in the spiral detect the sound waves
traveling through the fluid, and
translate the sound waves into electrical signals, which the auditory
nerve carries to the brain.
The ear hears different sounds depending on where the wave vibrates in
the cochlea.
The goal is to use the mechanical cochlea as a sensitive microphone,
perhaps in tandem with a
cochlear implant, Grosh said, the same way an external microphone, a
microprocessor and an antenna
work together in present implants. Cochlear implants work by sending
signals for different
frequencies to electrodes implanted in the cochlear spiral. The
auditory nerves then transport these
signals to the brain. Researchers are adding arrays of sensors to the
mechanical cochlea, which
would make it possible to use the new device to drive the electrodes in
a cochlear implant.
Grosh and White co-authored a paper "Microengineered Hydromechanical
Cochlear Model," which appeared
in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Feb. 1, 2005.
The work is primarily funded by the National Science Foundation and the
Office of Naval Research.
The University of Michigan College of Engineering is ranked among the
top engineering schools in the
country. Michigan Engineering boasts one of the largest research
budgets of any public university,
at $135 million for 2004. Michigan Engineering has 11 departments and
two NSF Engineering Research
Centers. Within those departments and centers, there is a special
emphasis on research in three
emerging industries: Nanotechnology and integrated microsystems;
cellular and molecular
biotechnology; and information technology. The College is seeking to
raise $110 million for capital
building projects and program support in these areas to further
research discovery. The CoE's goal
is to advance academic scholarship and market cutting edge research to
improve public heath and
well-being.

Waldron to aid elderly
By Noelle Selb
nselb@radford.edu
February 01, 2005
It is easy to take for granted the resonating call of the Muse clock alerting students when they are late for class, the unmistakable whistle of the train passing through Radford at night, the voice of the waitress asking for an order. However, for many elderly in the New River Valley, these sounds are silenced.
In an attempt to reach out to the community to ease this problem and other health issues affecting older adults in the area, the Carlot Endowment recently awarded Waldron College of Health and Human Services over $12,694 to aid the lower-income adults in Southwestern Virginia.
The endowment was created in memory of the late professor of emeritus of design, Fernande Gard, by her mother Fernande Carlot Gard and her grandfather Albert Carlot, and is dispensed by the RU Foundation.
The money was apportioned to three programs that professors from Waldron College supported. These programs include Dr. Ken Cox’s “Hearing Healthcare services for the Needy Elderly in Southwest Virginia,” Dr. Mary Hope Gibson’s “Chronic Illness Clinic,” and Dr. Virginia Burgraff and Grace Shortt’s “Case Management and Assessment of Rural Elderly (CARE) Project.”
In an effort to serve the uninsured and underinsured adults over 55 years old, the CARE program will use case management to serve older adults in the Dublin, Pulaski and Radford City areas. Burgraff describes case management as an overall process where the care providers look at the patient as a whole and try to meet his or her needs, in addition to performing a functional assessment.
In her piece of the grant, Burgraff is using graduate student Sarah Gilbert, to implement the functional assessment of patients, as well as looking at other aspects of health, such as depression, sleep and eating.
“Functional assessment means I can perform activities of daily living, which include cooking, bathing, toileting. Advanced activities of daily living include going to the store to buy food, preparing my meals, using the telephone. If I can’t do these things, then are there resources in the community that can assist me?” Burgraff explained.
Gilbert, a Registered Nurse who graduated from RU in 1980 with a degree in nursing, mentioned that the types of assessments the patients will undergo will include a standard assessment, which encompasses information about their living situation, the availability of transportation, as well as the patient’s ability to perform the functions of everyday living, such as grocery shopping.
Cox’s program provides an important service to the elderly in the community yet focuses more on a physical need than a functional need. For the two and a half years since funding to provide hearing aids for the local Lion’s Club was discontinued, Cox has been trying to re-establish the grant to provide hearing aids for Southwest Virginia.
Since most insurance companies do not pay for hearing aids and others only pay a portion of the cost, many of the individuals on the waiting list to receive hearing aids have done without any sort of hearing device for over two years. The Carlot Endowment is set up to provide money to purchase hearing aids from the Starkey Hear Now Foundation, which provides assistance to those with financial need.
Cox’s “Hearing Healthcare Services for the Needy Elderly in Southwest Virginia” program will provide 20 hearing aids over the course of the next six months to a year for those who qualify based on financial need as well as who meet the age requirements.
Graduate students who participate in the audiology clinic within the RU clinics will participate in the counseling, fitting and follow-up of the eligible older adults involved in the program. They will work with audiologist Joanne Dillon, an RU graduate and a licensed audiologist and hearing aid specialist.
Cox has also submitted a large grant for the Lions of Virginia Foundation which is in the process of being reviewed. If the money is granted, Cox says that it would help a lot more people in the community.
Gibson’s “Hearing Healthcare Services for the Needy Elderly in Southwest Virginia” received $4,594 to assist primary health care services in RU Clinics for older adults. The aspiration of Gibson’s project is to prevent complications which could arise from existing health conditions and to prevent contracting new illnesses among clients unable to afford health services in other locations.
Through the Carlot Endowment, students and their professors implementing these programs can follow through to the mission statement of the RU School of Nursing and fellow departments within Waldron College, helping a generation that comprises 11 to 17 percent of the population in the NRV.

Chinese Wedding Ceremonies
Chinese Wedding Ceremonies: "Chinese Wedding Ceremonies
More than saying 'I Do', Chinese weddings involve going to parents' houses, playing jokes on the groom, and drinking lots of tea.
Chinese weddings are teeming with symbolic preparations quite different from Western wedding rituals. In emotion, though, they are exactly the same - beautiful, romantic, and funny. Here's how the Chinese tie the knot.
* Once a couple decides they want to be married, both the bride and the groom go to their parents and ask for their permission/blessing.
* The groom's family sets the date for the wedding, after consulting the Chinese Astrological Calendar for 'good' days in which to wed.
* The groom's family consults the astrological calendar again to find a 'good' day in which to send gifts to the bride's family.
* The groom then presents the bride's family with a monetary gift, even though today the groom's family will more likely pay for the wedding instead of give money. The bride will probably bring family jewelry to the groom's family for a gift.
* Unlike American wedding customs, it is the responsibility of the groom's family to organize the Big Day; they usually decide the guest list, and then relay to the bride's family how many people they can invite.
* The couple purchases a new bed for their wedding night and covers it with new linens that are, of course, red. If the couple already has a bed, they will purchase new red linens for their wedding night. A new bed and bedsheets symbolize a new beginning, and are also supposed to bring good luck to the couple.
* Both the bride and the groom perform a hair-combing ceremony the night before the wedding, symbolizing the entrance into adulthood. The bride should perform the hair-combing under the gaze of the moon to bring her children. Both should comb their hair four times, each stroke bringing good luck:
Number one: symbolizes the unity of the couple from the beginning of the marri"

History
Jensen Hearing was first registered with the registra of companies in March of 2003 and opened its doors in July of the same year. Since then it has added its services as the demand increased. Jensen Hearing now offers the full range of audiology services to the community. Providing hearing tests from the most basic to the most advance. All test are carried out by the resident audiologist, a member of the Malaysian Association of Speech Language and Hearing.
