Evergreen Speech & Hearing Clinic presents a safe listening concert at the Kirkland Teen Union Building
On Saturday, May 30th at 8pm, audiologists and musicians will unite to bring hearing awareness to attendees of the fourth annual Turn It Down: an EAR-responsible Concert at the Kirkland Teen Union Building. Musicians, Daphne Loves Derby, Bad Timing and 4th Avenue will perform at the safe listening event.
The Audiologists from Evergreen will be on hand to take impressions and create custom molded earplugs. The clinic will be offering the custom earplugs below cost ($95) to allow musicians and concertgoers’ access to these much-needed tools.
Concertgoers will also receive free earplugs at the door, and have the opportunity to purchase raffle tickets for $1 each that are good for sound reducing products such as custom molded ear plugs, musician in-ear monitors, and iPods with custom molded headphones. Tickets for the event are $8. All proceeds from raffle sales and the door will go toward the Kirkland Teen Union Building, to help ensure that it is a safe listening area along with long time patient and Deafalympian Tom Guidon.
