Hearing Services For Everyone

Audiologist J. D. Howell offers a full range of hearing services to the Rogue Community covering the entire gamut of hearing needs: all types of hearing tests as well as hearing device service: inspection, cleaning, repairing, dispensing and fitting. J. D. is Oregon Board certified and nationally licensed with over 10 years in the field of audiology.

You’ll find J. D. at the Rogue River Community Center on the 2nd Tuesday of every month from 10:00am to about noon, although he will stay as long as it takes to get the job done. Testing or on-site repairs are open to everyone at no charge. J. D. also offers in-home care for home-bound individuals.

Who should get a hearing test?
Everyone can benefit from having one. Hearing is so important to the quality of our lives. The process of hearing loss is so slow that a person may not notice there is a problem until it is severe. A baseline hearing test can be useful as a record of how your hearing is in case of an accident or for insurance purposes. Monitoring your hearing should be a part of your routine health care.

What is a hearing test like?
The hearing exam starts with a series of questions. Next, you’ll listen to a series of tones, left and right ear separately, to determine if your hearing is ok. If a loss is detected, a more complex set of tests is required to pinpoint exactly what the problem is and determine what is needed to correct it. J. D. recommends that you bring a spouse or family member with you to the test. Plan on 15-20 minutes for the tone test. The more extensive test can take 40 minutes to an hour.

Tuesday Night Jam

cat-guitar.gif Community Music Jam

Tuesday Nights 
       6:30-10 p.m

Music Jam & Dancing
6:30-10 p.m

The stage is open and YOU are invited!

Showcase your talent at the Community Center Jam! If you sing, play an instrument, recite poetry, or even dance, then this is the place to perform.

The Community Jam Coordinator starts things off with a song or two while would-be performers get the chance to add their names to the sign-up sheet.

By turn each performer or group is called up to the stage. There are usually several stage musicians available to provide accompaniment, both instrumental or vocal. Performers can request to be accompamied by the stage musicians or perform alone.

Things keep moving along at a lively pace. Each performer is limited to 2 songs to ensure everyone gets their time in the spotlight. There’s a break around 8 o’clock for potluck snacks and often a door prize drawing. Then it’s back for the Jam until things wind up around 10pm.

Crowds are averaging 50-60 in number, with a recent high of 68. Audience members and performers are encouraged to make a donation if they can. All donations go directly to the Center to help pay for operating costs, utilities etc.

None of the fun would be possible without the help of the many volunteers, the musicians and the folks behind the scenes who set up the chairs, get the kitchen ready and help clean up. Supplies for the potluck and door prize are donated.

Bingo

Every Wednesday and Sunday
1 to 4:30 p.m

Why would folks come from Cave Junction, Merlin, Wimer, and Grants Pass to play Bingo at Rogue River Community Center? According to Bingo enthusiast Joyce, “ It’s the greatest game!” Fellow enthusiast Paula adds, “We always have fun, always laugh and joke. We just have a good time.” Joyce continues, “You get lots of hugs. And the potluck on Sundays….”  And if you want to learn the modern games, we will assign a personal coach and you can enjoy Bingo like you used to!

You’ll find a good size crowd every week, about 30-40 on Wednesdays swelling to 60 or more on Sundays. That makes for good prizes. The cost of the games is very reasonable: $3 for each session, $1 for each special. You can play all the games all day for $13!

People of all ages are welcome. It’s a great way for newcomers to meet the community and make new friends.

Bingo games are held every Wednesday and every Sunday, starting at 1 P. M. and go till about 4:30. Each day 24 regular games and 3 special games, Hot Ball and Bonanza. Arrive a little early and play as few or as many games as you please. Bring your own dauber or you can buy one here.

Many folks come for lunch on Wednesdays and stay for Bingo.

Sunday Potluck

The Potluck/Bingo combo on Sunday is a real winner. It evolved over time from a few people bringing snacks to the feast it is today. Bring your own dish to contribute, or if you don’t cook, you can make a cash contribution which helps pay for potluck supplies. The Potluck starts at 12:00; you don’t want to be late for, according to some, “it’s the best food in the Rogue Valley!”
