Until five years ago pretty
Marilyn Brett had never
heard a bird whistle-or a
boy whistle. either, for that
matter.
Actually most boys prob
ably thought she was snob-
bish.
AS a high school student
In Yonkers, N, Y, she usually
refused to attend parties,
pleading another engagement.
Or If she did attend. she'd
say she had headache and
go home early.
All of this was because
she was hard of hearing
and wouldn't admit it to her
friends.
I've had about SO per cent
loss of hearing in both ears
since ! was a baby" she ex-
planned.
Nerve Loss
1T is called a nerve loss,
and we think it was congen-
ital. My younger sister Bar
bara has an even greater loss.
And my little brother. who's
almost IL, also has a hear
ing impairment, though his
loss is less than mine"
Marilyn and Barbara both
learned lip reading when they
were youngsters.
Barbara, however had so
much difficulty in school
that she gave in and was
equipped with a hearing aid.
But Marilyn, who could
keep up with her classes,
managed as best she could,
until her Junior year in high
school.
Then she began suffering
with headaches that were SO
severe she decided to drop
out of school.
Il went to work for a tex
tile firm, used the money
made to learn dancing and
then I started teaching at
the Arthur Murray School of
Dancing in New York." she
related.
Dancing provided much of
the social life that blond,

sed as a schoolgirl. But it
wasn't enough.
Il wanted to go to lectures
and concerts, for one thing"
she recalleQ. so finally,
when l was "a, I decided to
get a hearing aid"
Her life since then has
been a definite success story.
Marilyn made up her mind
to go back to school, got her

In the meantime, Marilyn
was chosen this summer by

Conference. Inc. a trade as

80 companies. to make a
coast-to-coast tour to help
stimulate interest in hearing

wears an aid behind each ear.
During her tour she has
carried along a kit showing
the advances since 1920 when
electrical devices were first
introduced.
Tiny Instrument
The transistor has made
possible the tiny instruments
used today, such as eyeglass
models or barrette attach
mentS that can be pinned up
on the hair.
Marilyn says she discov-
cred on her tour that prac-
tically everyone who is hard
of hearing is reluctant to ad-
NIT it at first-partly from
vanity and partly because
they Just don't want to be
conspicuous.
When I first put on my
hearing aid. I thought, My
goodness, do people hear this

she recalled. But they have
gotten used to the noise and

pointed out.
