Encouraging children to protect their hearing from noise is the objective of a new joint effort between The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) and the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), one of the National Institutes of Health. An ASHA Listen To Your Buds concert will be held April 29 at The George Washington University’s Lisner Auditorium in Washington, DC.
with Billy Jonas performing. It will be free and for local first- and second-graders. ASHA is working in collaboration with Parents’ Choice Foundation on both its Buds concerts and the formation of a national coalition of musicians popular with children who pledge to promote ASHA’s safe listening message. Coalition members are found at http://parents-choice.org/budsconcert.cfm.
