brown@brownaudioservice.com
A member of Equal Access and the Hearing Loss Association of America, Warren Brown is a hearing loop advocate and loop installer. Having worked in the audio visual field for more than 30 years, he became aware of the difficulties people with hearing loss often experience being able to participate in public events. He found that loops can reengage people in many places that challenged their full participation. He started Brown Audio Service to promote and install loops, and has presented the "get in the loop" message to hearing loss groups statewide. His efforts have brought loops to over 50 venues throughout Ohio and the surrounding regions. http://www.brownaudioservice.com/ |

Walter is a graduate of the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy (BS) and Syracuse University (AB). After various management and sales experience with IBM, Doubleday Publishing Company, World Publishing Company, and Beltone Hearing Aids, Walter started his own advertising agency in 1970 which led to a corporate executive job at Nestlé, from which he retired in 1989. He endured wartime damage to his hearing and has a 60% VA hearing disability. He has used hearing aids for the past 15 years.
