In conjunction with the Congressional Hearing Health Caucus, the Academy co-sponsored a May 18, 2006 Hearing Health Screening and Issues Forum held in the U.S. Capitol Building on Capitol Hill. The event resulted in over 50 Hill staff members receiving hearing screening. Rep. Jim Ryun (R-KS), chief sponsor of H.R. 415, the Hearing Health Accessibility Act, served as a keynote presenter along with Reps. James Walsh (R-NY), Mark Kennedy (R-MN) and Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY). Local Academy members, Ken Henry, PhD, Anne Arrazcaeta, AuD and Micheal Rairigh, provided hearing screening services for the event.
