Travels to northern Michigan, Germany and/or Egypt, taking a Zumba class, volunteering at church and spending more time with family are just a few plans that Chris has after she retires from the Senior Adult Services Transportation Department this April. Chris has been with the Northville Parks and Recreation since 2002 and the Transportation Department for 2 years. Along with her office and people skills, she also can boast that she was a top model for the Community Center fashion show in 2011! Chris Haas “I’ll miss my co-workers. They are the best, and the many seniors that visit the center everyday. And I will miss being greeted each morning by the seniors who walk in the gym. They are always a lot of fun and can tell pretty good jokes,” comments Chris. Chris has been an inspiration to all of us. Her ability to adapt to every environment where she works, her leadership skills and friendly personality will be missed. “Don't simply retire from something; have something to retire to.” ~Harry Emerson Fosdick FREE ONE HOUR CONSULTATION & ASSESSMENT.

Northville Hearing Center Ask your Hearing Specialist By Lin McNair, BC-HIS, ACA Call Us Today! 248-349-0657 Question Can hearing loss affect my balance? Answer Yes, hearing loss can affect your balance. A recent study led by Northville Hearing Center Johns Hopkins researcher, Frank Lin, MD, PhD found that hearing loss can triple the risk of falling down for people aged 40 and older. Lin McNair, BC- The study findings show that people with a 25-decibel hearing loss—classified as a ‘mild hearing loss’ were nearly three times more likely to have a history of falling. Every additional 10-decibels of hearing loss increases the chances of falling by 1.4 fold. 18600 Northville Rd. Explanation: People with impaired hearing lack awareness of their overall environment, which makes them more likely to trip and fall said study author Dr. Frank Lin, an assistant professor at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and the university’s Bloomberg School of Public Health. Northville Hearing Center is offering free hearing screenings and product demonstrations during the month of May. Call 248-349-0657 today to make an appointment. There is NO COST for these services.
