The Dover Council on Aging has renovated Room 108 (formerly known as The Blue Room) in the Caryl Community Center. It has updated the carpeting, paint and installed a new hearing aid loop system that will benefit those with hearing issues. This system will allow those with hearing loss to utilize their hearing aids to better hear speakers at programs. There must be a telecoil in the hearing aid for it to function as a wireless antenna. Headphones to use the hearing loop are available for those without hearing aids.
Janet Claypoole, COA Director for Dover, said that some seniors in the town told her they struggled to hear at events the COA was holding. With the new hearing aid loop system, she hopes they will now be able to fully enjoy the events offered and looks forward to welcoming them back.
Some of the upcoming events that one could attend in room 108:
Thursday, April 20, Mah Jongg, 1 p.m.
Monday, April 24, Poetry Meets Psychology with John Kearns, PhD
Friday, April 28, Coffee
