Hearing Care Centers offers a comprehensive hearing screening is a series of tests that assess an individual’s ability to hear sounds and understand speech. The screening typically includes a range of tests such as pure-tone audiometry, speech audiometry, and middle ear testing. The purpose of the screening is to determine whether an individual has any hearing loss and the extent of the hearing loss. Comprehensive hearing screening is important because hearing loss can have a significant impact on an individual’s quality of life. It can affect an individual’s ability to communicate effectively, participate in social activities, and perform daily tasks. Early detection of hearing loss can help prevent these negative impacts by allowing for prompt treatment, such as hearing aids or cochlear implants, which can improve an individual’s ability to hear and communicate. Additionally, early detection of hearing loss can help identify any underlying medical conditions that may be causing the hearing loss and allow for timely treatment of those conditions. Overall, comprehensive hearing screening is an important tool in maintaining overall health and wellbeing. Appointments Available 9:30 9:50 10:20 - Booked 10:40 11:00 11:20 11:40

This two person show is a multi-media and multi-dimensional presentation in song, storytelling and plenty of laughter. From bobby socks, through the space race, and on to civil rights and classic rock, audiences have found this show to be entertaining, inspirational and even a bit educational. Songs as diverse as Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka-dot Bikini and Blowin’ in the Wind lead to spontaneous singing springing up all around the theater.

He embodies the confidence and originality that comes from his lifelong dedication to his craft. And to bring this exciting show altogether, his wife, Susan, has created a unique visual presentation that perfectly complements Marc’s music filled storytelling. Together, Susan and Marc (along with Claudette, Marc’s guitar for more than 4 decades) travel the world and light up the stage night after night with the pure joy of music and memories. Always leaving the audience feeling great about where we’ve been… and where we are. ‘Marc is a cultural historian with a guitar, as smart and savvy as he is entertaining.’ Artistic director, Derin Tanya, Woodstock Kleinert/James Art Center ‘Marc transported all of us back in time with his amazing voice, his guitar wizardry, funny stories and heartfelt insights.’ Tom O’Brien, board of Directors Lagond Music School, Mount Kisco, NY ‘Marc is a terrific musician and a great storyteller.
