Hi Les, The way I found out about the lecture on tinnitus was by getting on the NCRAR website to email Dr. Lilly about visiting him when I take Murray back to OHSU for his surgery follow-up appointments. Dr. Lilly spent quite a long time talking with me after his keynote address at the IHS convention in Seattle and seemed quite interested in the piano tech's hearing. I will be compiling information, and any questions anyone sends me to ask him when I am there next Thursday.

Date: Sun, 13 May 2007 20:34:34 -0500 Diane, are you saving replies to this? I have erased a bunch, but think they'd be good for Gloria to have. I got an emergency gig for a John Legend tonight, the call coming from some lady who said, "My dad plays for the symphony and gave me your name!" That's me first major concert gig which has come strictly because people "in the business" know my name a little bit. I'm pretty darned pumped about it. les -----Original Message----- From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of Diane Hofstetter Sent: Sunday, May 13, 2007 2:52 AM To: pianotech at ptg.org; caut at ptg.org Subject: Are there many piano techs who are veterans? Are any of you veterans? Do any of you have tinnitus? Thursday evening I will be attending a talk; "Treatment for Hearing Loss and Tinnitus: State of the Art" by Dr. David Lilly, at one of the largest, most up-to-date hearing research centers in the counry, the new National Center for Rehabilitative Auditory Research. I was fortunate to meet Dr. Lilly at a recent hearing convention and am looking forward hearing him speak again and to finally seeing the research center. Since this facility is part of the Veteran's Administration, their focus is on helping veterans with their hearing problems and I am wondering how many piano technicians are veterans. It would be a good talking point if I ask them for help with research for piano tech's hearing problems. Thanks! Diane Diane Hofstetter No virus found in this incoming message.
