SUMMARY:Free Hearing Screenings
DESCRIPTION:Free Comprehensive Hearing Screening! Call 860-567-8302 to book your 20 minute appointment between 9:30-12pm.\n\n\n\n\nHearing Care Centers will be on site at Litchfield Community Center to offer free comprehensive hearing screenings\, 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. \nComprehensive 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.

DESCRIPTION:Evening Glow Music Series \nApril 8th- 3:30PM \nAlyce Cognetta Bertz\, Violin \nMeg Cognetta Heaton\, Piano \n  \nClick Here To Register  \nDonations Welcome! \nPerformances are followed by a reception with refreshments. \nALYCE COGNETTA BERTZ & MEG COGNETTA HEATON are sisters who play violin and piano respectively and have played together professionally since they were very young.  \nThere’s a special magic and sometimes madness to playing music with your sister. For decades\, Meg and Alyce have been navigating the intricate dance of chamber music side by side\, their shared history echoing in every phrase they play. Their mother Mary instilled in them her own deep love for music\, a gift both sisters have cherished and are now passing on to the next generation\, teaching and playing alongside their own children and grandchildren. When they perform it isn’t just a concert; it’s a celebration of sisterhood and the quiet joy of two lives lived in harmony.  \nAlyce is the concertmaster of the Waterbury Symphony and a frequent virtuoso soloist with orchestras and chamber music ensembles. She has given concerts at Carnegie Hall\, The Kennedy Center\, La Philarmonica de las Americas in Mexico\, The Blossom Music Festival in Ohio\, and The Waterloo Music Festival with members of the New York Philharmonic. She studied chamber music with the Cleveland Quartet\, the Juilliard Quartet and Joseph Gingold. Alyce has been violin soloist on WQXR in New York\, and has appeared as soloist with the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra\, Hartt Symphony Orchestra and on numerous occasions with the Waterbury Symphony.  \nAlyce performs on an exceptional Italian violin made by Desiato- Postiglione in 1869.  \nMeg performs and teaches in the Finger Lakes region of New York\, most recently as the piano soloist in the Beethoven “Choral Fantasy.” She has performed as soloist with the Rochester Philharmonic and the Finger Lakes Symphony.  \nA quartet\, consisting of 4 pianists at 2 pianos\, has been meeting every Tuesday in Geneva N.Y. for the past 100 years\, with Meg keeping a seat warm for the past 45 years.

SUMMARY:Free Hearing Screenings
DESCRIPTION:Free Comprehensive Hearing Screening! Call 860-567-8302 to book your 20 minute appointment between 9:30-12pm.\n\n\n\n\nHearing Care Centers will be on site at Litchfield Community Center to offer free comprehensive hearing screenings\, 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. \nComprehensive 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.
