Hearing Assistance Planned For Holocaust Center
Roz Leiser, owner of Novi's Optimum Hearing Care, will donate a hearing
loop system for the auditorium at the Holocaust Memorial Museum in
memory of her father, Rudolf Leiser.
Dedication of the hearing system will take place on Sunday, June 28,
at 10:30 a.m. at the museum, 28123 Orchard Lake Road, Farmington
Hills. The dedication is open to the public.
Hearing Loops provide improved listening clarity for people with
hearing loss who experience difficulty when trying to understand speech
because of distance, reverberation, and distracting background noise.
