FROM "CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?" TO "I CAN HEAR YOU NOW!"

Alton Rotary recently welcomed Dr. Mary Hunting and members of her team from Northeast Audiology for a powerful, practical look at healthy hearing and how to protect it for life.

Attendees learned simple ways to improve their hearing experience such as identifying the signs that indicate when a hearing evaluation is needed—from recognizing early signs like background noise struggles or constant “Can you repeat that?” moments, to understanding how a full hearing evaluation works for newborns through older adults. Dr. Hunting also shared best practices in hearing diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.
Several community members took advantage of the free hearing screenings and left with new insights—or helpful confirmation of what they already suspected.

Rotary is proud to bring programs like this to the Alton community, helping our neighbors stay informed, proactive, and connected with their health journey.

If you are interested in becoming a Rotarian or want to help with fundraising events or projects, contact Duane Hammond at 603-569-3648 or EMAIL US: [email protected]

Alton Rotary meets the 1st and 3rd Monday of the month from 6:30-7:30 PM with a light meal served from 6:00-6:30 p.m. at the Pearson Road Community/Senior Center.

ABOUT OUR JUNE 22 SPEAKER:

Mary Hunting, Au.D. has been practicing Audiology in Dover, NH since 2003. In 2021, Dr. Hunting opened Northeast Audiology, specializing in diagnosing and treating hearing loss, tinnitus, and vertigo from birth through adulthood using comprehensive audiologic best practices. The team at Northeast Audiology believes in treating each patient with thoughtfulness, respect, and a personalized plan to meet the needs of every individual. Treating hearing loss should not be a miserable experience and can actually be pleasant, rewarding, and even fun!

As a former American Sign Language interpreter and growing up with a Deaf sister, Dr. Hunting believes that communication is essential to a quality life, healthy relationships, and good cognitive health. She received her BS and MS in Communicative Disorders and Deaf Education from Utah State University and her Au.D. from Salus University. In her spare time, Dr. Hunting enjoys spending time with her delightful family, volunteering on several boards/committees, laughing whenever possible, and reupholstering forgotten furniture with good bones.

🌟 Join us at the Gilman Library from 7 – 8 pm on Monday, June 22 to learn about Hearing Healthcare for the Whole Family and receive a FREE hearing exam!

Last night, Alton Rotary hosted a formal presentation by local student Stockton McNight before a panel of four judges plus members of the community. It was a rousing success and valuable opportunity!

Stockton is a student at Prospect Mountain High School and will represent the state of NH at the Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) National Championship in Texas this summer!

Having an opportunity in a real world setting to practice his presentation and get feedback helped to further prepare Stockton for his competition.

Now help us wish him GOOD LUCK 🏆 and safe travels! ✈️

Reminder: the raffle to raise funds for Stockton’s travel scholarship is still going on through June 20!
🌟 THERE’S STILL TIME TO GET YOUR TICKETS!
