In November 2002, Paula Bonillas founder, editor and sole owner of Hearing
Health sold the publication to the Deafness Research Foundation (DRF), a
long-time supporter of the magazine and a leader in the field of hearing
health.
Founded in 1958, DRF is a non-profit organization based in Washington,
D.C., charged with a mission of making a lifetime of hearing health
possible for all people through quality research, education and advocacy.
In addition, DRF sponsors the National Campaign for Hearing Health.
Deciding to sell the magazine was not easy for Paula who has devoted the
past 19 years of her life to serving people like herself who face the
challenges of living with hearing loss. However, the decision was easier
knowing that current and future readers will only benefit from DRF's 45
years of commitment to improving hearing health.
DRF will continue to bring you reliable, responsible and useful
information and all current subscriptions will be honored. Each subscriber
will be receiving more information in the mail over the coming weeks.
You'll also be pleased to know that Lorraine Short, long a member of the
Hearing Health team, will provide continuity as she steps into the role of
editor. Karyn Butts, DRF's director of public education joins the
editorial staff as assistant editor.
Hearing Health will continue to be a quarterly publication with the next
issue appearing in March 2003. Readers will notice a few changes to design
and content to reflect DRF's mission for the magazine: to increase
awareness of real-world applications of hearing research, technology and
trends and to educate people about the effects of hearing loss on health
and quality of life.
We are sure you will like what you read and hope that you will help us
celebrate this new chapter for Hearing Health!
