Hearing Protection
 Are you going with your children to the Indianapolis 500 race? Read about how to keep your kids safe from track noise here. This is good information for adults, too, on how to protect one's hearing. "Noise level at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway can approach 100 decibels," says Dr. George W. Hicks, an otologist with the Midwest Ear Institute."
 CaptionCall is a revolutionary new telephone for people who have problems hearing on the telephone. A large easy-to-read screen quickly displays written captions of what your callers say.
For a limited time through a special program, the fee for the telephone, delivery, and installation is waived if you use Promo Code HS1824 when ordering the phone. The captioning services are provided at no charge through funding by the Federal Communications Commission. Phone CaptionCall at 1-877-557-2227 or visit CaptionCall's website for more information. The $50 referral fee we receive will be donated to Hear Indiana, an organization which empowers and supports individuals and families with hearing loss to communicate through listening and spoken language.
