Dear A1 Presidents and Secretaries:

HEARING LOSS - Hearing loss is the fastest growing, and one of the most prevalent, chronic conditions faciCanadians today. While hearing loss has many causes, age-related hearing loss and noise-induced hearing losare the two most common types.

According to Statistics Canada, more than one million adults across the country reported having a hearing-relatedisability, a number more than 50% greater than the number of people reporting problems with their eyesig(StatsCan, 2002). Other studies indicate that those suffering from hearing problems often under-report the

condition, so the true number may reach three million or more Canadian adults.

Another major US study published in the journal Paediatrics found that "approximately 12.5% of American childrand young adults in the U.S. are suffering from a hearing disability known as noise-induced hearing threshoshifts, a change in hearing sensitivity that is experienced as temporary hearing dullness" (Niskar et al, 2001).

Over the last 10 years, the percentage of second graders with hearing loss has increased by 280%, while hearinloss for eighth graders has increased over 400% (Montgomery and Fujikawa, 1992).

A study in the Journal of the American Medical Association reported that nearly 15% of school-aged children hhearing deficits at low and high frequencies (Niskar et al, 2004).

LIONS OF BC HEARING CONSERVATION SOCIETY -

The Lions of BC Hearing Conservation Society waregistered under the Societies Act of the province of British Columbia , specifically to assist BC lions/lioness cluin that province address hearing loss issues within their communities. The clubs are often able to providassistance for individuals who suffer from hearing loss but who cannot afford the cost of hearing aids.

The club can make an application to the LIONS OF BC HEARING CONSERVATION SOCIETY(http://www.lionsofbchearingsociety.org/).

1. The applicant must be a citizen of British Columbia who is able to demonstrate that family financcircumstances preclude the purchase of hearing aids through normal means.

2. The applicant must visit a licensed hearing aid provider in British Columbia to obtain an assessment

hearing proficiency, and a recommendation for remediation. The assessment and recommendation must then bsubmitted to a local Lions/Lioness club.

3. The British Columbia Lions/Lioness club receiving the application makes their own decision whether or nassistance can be provided to an applicant.

4. Upon request from a British Columbia Lions/Lioness club, the Lions of BC Hearing Conservation Society wprovide the applicants licensed provider with appropriate hearing instruments.

* The service charges of the Provider are born by the sponsoring club and the Society.* Usually the aids supplied will be refurbished ones collected through the Societys recycling program* Applicants are usually requested to make a nominal contribution towards their hearing remediation,the form of a donation to the sponsoring club.

If you club has collected hearing aids or intends to collect hearing aids, and the contact is:Bob Jones, TreasurerTel: 604.858.7659Email: [email protected]

Hi to all Club Presidents and Secretaries:

Lions Quest is holding a fund raising drive and I asked cabinet members the bestway for our district to help with fundraising.

All cabinet felt that clubs do not have enough information on Lions Quest and if theydid have they would gladly donate to the fundraising. To that end I am sending thisemail to provide more information about Lions Quest.

I am asking 2 things for fundraising: AT LAST CABINET MEETING ALL CLUBS WERE GIVEN LIONS QUEST RAFFLE TICKETS from

LIONS CLUBS INTERNATIONAL. Please send in the funds to Lions Quest.

ALSO, EACH DISTRICT HAS BEEN ASKED TO COMMIT A MINIMUM AMOUNT FOR FUNDRAISING.I WILL COMMIT District 19A to $10,000.00. Remember this is a minimum. If all clubs commit $200.00each the amount raised would be over $12,000.00.

Contact information for Lions Quest Canada Programs and resources for educatorsand Lions Clubmembers are available online at www.lionsquest.ca
