Impaired Vision and Hearing Club
At its last meeting, Hard of Hearing Support Group was fortunate to have a volunteer guest speaker—Dr. Bruce Vircks, who spoke from his experience as an audiologist.
Dr. Vircks, Au.D., retired to Leisure World in April 2018 after practicing as the director of audiology for 35 years at Wolfe Clinic in Marshalltown and West Des Moines, Iowa. He completed his fellowship in audiology at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, served on the board of the Academy of Doctors of Audiology and was elected as president in 2011. Vircks lobbied in Washington DC for expansion of hearing services for Medicare recipients and presented at national meetings on hearing conservation and amplification topics.
