We were deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Dr. Mead Killion.

A true legend in the fields of acoustics and audiology, Mead’s innovations have touched the lives of millions. If you’ve ever used hearing technology, there’s a good chance you’ve benefited from something he created. His remarkable contributions are chronicled here: https://meadshare.com/

Beyond his groundbreaking work, Mead was an extraordinary person—curious, kind, and full of energy. I had the privilege of working alongside him on several occasions, and each time was both a joy and an education.

Mead, your brilliance and generosity will be missed by countless individuals and by the entire acoustics and audiology community.

Love getting notes from clients we have helped. Just got this email yesterday from a happy hearing loop home user after the recent nasty weather in Chicago.

"Yesterday there were tornados in the Chicago area and we were in the "get to your basement NOW area." When our weather radio alarm went off my husband turned on ABC which was broadcasting the weather details. Our TV is looped and the loop is in the ceiling of our basement under the TV room. Even with the TV volume turned to max, my husband could not hear it. But with my telecoil turned on I could hear every word as they described the path of the storm. No tornadoes touched down near us. I used to panic when the weather radio went off because I can hear the alarm but not all the words. With my telecoil on, I didn't panic, because I could understand the TV. Thank you!"
