H.E.A.R. Hearing Education and Awareness for Rockers
H.E.A.R. (Hearing Education and Awareness for Rockers) is a non-profit volunteer organization dedicated to raising awareness of the real dangers of repeated exposure to excessive noise levels from music which can lead to permanent and sometimes debilitating, hearing loss and tinnitus. Damage from loud sound can occur from playing music, attending concerts, dance clubs, raves, using stereo earphones, playing amplified systems too loudly, or other noisy activities. We're here for musicians, DJs, sound engineers, music fans (especially teens) and anyone needing help with their hearing.
Hear-It
This web site has been established to increase public awareness of hearing impairment. Ten per cent of the world's population suffer from hearing problems, yet only one out of five who would benefit from hearing aids actually use them. 'Hear-it' deals with almost any issue concerning hearing impairment.
The Vestibular Disorders Association
VEDA is a nonprofit organization that provides information to the public about inner-ear balance disorders such as Meniere's disease, BPPV, and labyrinthitis. Symptoms of vestibular disorders may include dizziness, imbalance, vertigo, nausea, and fuzzy vision and may be accompanied by hearing problems.
