<link>http://www.rsspad.com/rss2/8126.xml</link>
<description>Cornelius, North Carolina - While hearing loss has historically been associated with age, increasingly people in their 40s and 50s are devastated by this condition. According to Randy Wohlers, President of HearPod Inc., specializing in the correction of baby boomer hearing loss, "Baby boomers are the first generation to be exposed to electronically amplified sound. Today, we know that prolonged exposure to loudly amplified music over 85 db can cause permanent hearing loss. Many cases of hearing loss among baby boomers can be traced to their youth when they listened to rock bands or played in them. Additionally, baby boomers are the first generation to experience prolonged exposure to loud sounds from electric blenders, lawn care equipment, power tools, recreational vehicles, jet airplanes and even electric tooth brushes. - Powered by PRWeb and RSSPad</description>

         <title>Baby Boomers Are Trading In Their iPods For HearPods </title>
         <link>http://www.prweb.com/releases/2006/03/prweb362377.htm</link><description>   <![CDATA[ <P>&#8220;Millions of baby boomers hear sounds but do not comprehend words or phrases. They read lips to fill in the blanks&#8221; according to Randy Wohlers, President of baby boomer hearing aid solutions company, HearPod Inc. &#8220;At least 85 percent of the patients we fit for hearing aids have lost some of their ability to process sounds into words. This is because almost 80 percent of baby boomers who need hearing aids refuse to get help until it is too late. They are afraid that wearing an aid will signal old age, and are unwilling to pay thousands of dollars for high quality hearing aids.&#8221; (PRWeb Mar 23, 2006)</P>
