The Russell Council on Aging hosts a monthly hearing clinic the first Tuesday of the month from 10 am to noon at the Russell Senior Center, 65 Main St. Gary Winn, a licensed Hearing Instrument Specialist, and owner of New Ears, Affordable Hearing Care, will conduct a free hearing clinic. He will check ears for wax build-up, perform hearing screenings, and council people about hearing loss. Hearing aids will be cleaned and adjusted if possible. The Russell COA invites residents from Russell and surrounding towns to benefit from this service. Appointments are at half hour intervals. The next clinic is Tuesday, February 4. Call 862-6205 and leave a message by the Sunday February 2, as to a preferred appointment time. Please note, if no appointments are made, the hearing clinic will be cancelled until the following month.
