FITTING CONCLUSIONS
54
When a hearing instrument dis-
penser "fits" a patient with an in-
strument, the term carries two
meanings. On the one hand, the
instrument must be adjusted to
the wearer's specific needs. This
means selecting the most suitable
style of hearing instrument, as well
as deciding upon which model
and circuitry best meet the users
needs. Beyond that, the dispenser
must fine-tune the instrument on
the basis of objective test data and
the wearer's own subjective eval-
uation of how the instrument af-
fects his or her hearing. Then,
there is the actual act of fitting the
instrument to the wearer's unique
set of physical characteristics. The
better an instrument fits in this re-
spect, the more comfortable it will
be and better ft will perform.
At CRUZ HEARING AID SER-
VICE, we provide and service
many makes and models of hear-
ing instruments. No single hear-
ing aid is designed to fit everyone,
and we realize it. The many man-
ufacturers we work with offer the
latest in hearing aid technology
and are serviceable throughout
the United States. Our certified au-
diologist will be happy to answer
any questions that you may have
about the type of hearing instru-
ment which would suit you the
best. We are conveniently located
at 18899 W. 12 Mile Rd., in Lath-
rup Village, and our phone num-
ber is 424-8450.
P.S. Physically fitting a hearing
instrument centers around as-
suring the earmold's snug fit to
the ear.

ers are trying to form an um-
brella Alaskan Jewish council
and resource center.
Professor Reisman's statistics
are fleshed out by Harry Rosen-
feld, Alaska's "chief rabbi," in
practice if not in name.
The 39-year-old native of
Cleveland received a guest in his
study wearing a lumberjack flan-
nel shirt, reflecting the informal
frontier dress code of the state he
adopted 10 years ago. "On Shab-
bat services during the summer,
I may be the only one wearing
a coat and tie," he says.
By contrast, the shul tends to-
ward more traditional ritual ob-
servance than found in most
Reform synagogues. The likely
reason lies in Beth Sholom's dis-
tinction for most of its 36 years
as the only congregation in town,
and indeed the state.
"We have tried to be inclusive
and accommodating to all kinds
of Jews, because they had no
place else to go," says Dr. Rosen-
feld. "We have bucked the trend
in the rest of the country, where
congregations split into smaller
and smaller groups. Here, if
some people want to be more
Conservative, we try to bring
them in."
Along the same line, Beth
Sholom has no sisterhood, broth-
erhood or other affiliate groups.
"Our people here want to do the
same thing and do it together,"
says the rabbi.
Some 50 to 60 people show up
on a typical Friday evening, of-
ten including an eclectic group of
visitors. These may include
young back-packing Israelis,
stateside Jewish tourists, and a
drop-in like White Cloud, a full-
blooded Indian who looks as The
stepped out of an old Western
movie.
With a total membership of
175 households, numbering per-
haps some 450 souls, Beth
Sholom proves that it takes only
a small critical mass of Jews to
trigger a chain-reaction of Jew-
ish activities.
Relying on a total full-time
staff of two employees, one pre-
school teacher and lots of volun-
teers, Beth Sholom runs a
Sunday school for about 100
youngsters and a daytime pre-
school and kindergarten with 30
kids.
There are Hadassah and Anti-
Defamation League chapters in
town and, given Alaska's prox-
imity and historical ties to Rus-
sia, an active outreach program
to Jewish communities in
Siberia. Mr. Rosenfeld takes spe-
cial pride in the Anne Frank ex-
hibit organized by his
congregation at the Anchorage
Museum of History last March.
The exhibit ran for a month
and attracted more than 20,000
visitors, including 8,000 high
school students.
Economically, the congrega-
tion is upscaie, with an estimat-
