Are there many piano techs who are veterans?

[Diane Hofstetter]

Are any of you veterans?  Do any of you have tinnitus?

Thursday evening I will be attending a talk; "Treatment for Hearing Loss and 
Tinnitus: State of the Art" by Dr. David Lilly, at one of the largest, most 
up-to-date hearing research centers in the counry, the new National Center 
for Rehabilitative Auditory Research.

I was fortunate to meet Dr. Lilly at a recent hearing convention and am 
looking forward hearing him speak again and to finally seeing the research 
center.

Since this facility is part of the  Veteran's Administration, their focus is 
on helping veterans with their hearing problems and I am wondering how many 
piano technicians are veterans.  It would be a good talking point if I ask 
them for help with research for piano tech's hearing problems.

Thanks!
Diane
