Around You Mumbles

Please join us for They’re NOT Listening; What to Do When Everyone Around You Mumbles on Monday, December 4th at 2 p.m. in Lunt Auditorium (74 Lunt Road, Falmouth, ME).

Why is everyone talking so quietly? Do I HAVE to get hearing aids? What else is out there? Or maybe, you are the one who is always being asked to repeat yourself. How can you support the person who struggles to hear at a family occasion? It can be frustrating for everyone involved. What can you do? There is no best answer. There are options and resources available. 

This presentation focuses on living with hearing loss ‘in a hearing world’. Debra Bare-Rogers of Disability Rights Maine (DRM) will discuss how to talk with loved ones about hearing loss, communicating in social situations, choosing to get hearing aids (or not), and other resources (i.e. captioned phones and apps, Bluetooth, amplification, over-the-counter devices, and speech-to-text apps!). Bring your questions and join us!

Debra Bare-Rogers is an Advocate at DRM. She educates consumers about Maine Relay and the Telecommunications Equipment Program (TEP). Debra has served on several boards, including ALDA (Association of Late-Deafened Adults), HLAA (Hearing Loss Association of America), and Maine’s Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. She is currently the ALDA Region 1 Director, covering the east coast and select international countries. In 2024, she wants to see an ALDA hearing loss group started in Southern Maine (Wanna help/join?). She is a certified Hearing Loss Peer Mentor. Debra shares her personal journey with hearing loss, encouraging people to ‘LIVE every day to the fullest.’

Dana Cunningham, Piano:

Dana Cunningham is a pianist and composer who has produced six critically acclaimed recordings of original and interpretive work and performs in solo concerts and musical ensembles nationwide. Originally from Texas, she lives and works in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. She studied piano at Blair School of Music while completing a Bachelor of Science in communication at Vanderbilt University. Her work at the Esalen Institute at Big Sur, an advanced seminary degree in biblical studies, and a sabbatical at a Benedictine monastery have also influenced her artistic voice, whose unique attributes are regularly applauded by leading music critics: Steve Ryals, Music Reviewer, Fresh Tracks: “Cunningham has the hands of a master; with them, she creates music of luminous beauty. She is aware of the profound value of silence between notes, and never dazzles simply to show off. Instead, she gently tickles listeners with her music of love and peace.” 

Whether she is coaxing a dark, rich sound from the mellow depths of the bass, or making a lyrical flight into the crystalline upper keys, Dana’s touch is both precise and reverent, delicate and strong. She is also a gifted performer with other musicians, and weaves the sounds of the cello, saxophone, and other instruments in and around her music with a finesse that delights both audiences and her collaborators.

Michael Sakash, Saxophone:

Mike Sakash is a saxophonist, composer, and music educator who has dedicated most of his waking hours since age ten to music of all styles. He holds a master’s degree in jazz studies and contemporary media from the Eastman School of Music. Before settling in New Hampshire, Mike was Associate Professor of Music at Washington & Jefferson College (PA). Currently, he is the arts department chair at Fryeburg Academy, in Fryeburg, ME, where he directs the instrumental ensembles and teaches courses in music theory, guitar, and jazz improvisation. Mike also serves as a guest artist and clinician at music festivals throughout the country. In 2017, Mike received the Maine Music Educators Association “Music Educator of the Year” award, presented at the Maine All State Conference. As a saxophonist, he has performed, recorded, and toured with the Phoenix Jazz Project and the Traverser Saxophone Quartet, in addition to being a regular member of the Portland Jazz Orchestra.
