Hearing program

FARRELL/GREENVILLE, Pa.

The UPMC Horizon Medical Equipment Recycling Program and the UPMC Center for Audiology and Hearing Aids, in partnership with Quota International of Hermitage, Pa., is conducting a pilot hearing-loss-prevention program for high school band members at Hickory High School in Hermitage, Pa., and Greenville, Pa., High School during August.

The band members will be provided earplugs available through the Center for Audiology that are designed to not interfere with the sound of the music but significantly lower the intensity and impact on the ear. Musicians who are exposed to loud instruments may suffer hearing loss over time because of the decibel levels.
