STUART COMMUNITY ROOM

A Hearing Loop assistive listening system is installed in the Stuart Community Room thanks to a gift from Dr. Linda Remensnyder, AuD.

Hearing Loops allow people who wear hearing aids to directly receive the sound from a PA system in their own hearing aids. To hear better, you will no longer have to pick up a separate listening device.

If you wear hearing instruments you will need to find out if they have a built-in wireless receiver, called a T-coil or Telecoil, built in, to benefit from the hearing loop in our theater. The T-coil program is accessed by pushing a button on your hearing aid. This T-coil setting has to be activated before use. Please consult your audiologist to ensure your t-coils are properly adjusted.

Why Dancing Is Good for You: Body, Brain, and Beyond

You don’t have to be a trained dancer to reap the benefits of hitting the dance floor. Whether you’re salsa-stepping in a community class, kicking through a line dance, or just letting loose at a ladies’ night out, dancing is one of the most enjoyable – and most effective – forms of exercise available. And the science backs it up.
