Her topic will be: “Hearing Loss.”  In a biographical statement provided by Dr. Sankovitz she has indicated that everyone will lose some of their hearing, it’s just a matter of when. “Causes of hearing loss are: age, heredity/genetic traits, allergies, infections, loud noises, and earwax.” She has been an audiologist for over two decades, and after visiting Grant County for 4 years to hike the Gila, decided to move to Silver City to open her practice, Silver Audiology in 2021.

MittelstadtsA Special Concert by Susan and Burt Mittelstadt

Please join us on Friday, October 6 for a poignant evening of music - songs of social justice and protest - performed by Burt and Susan Mittelstadt and hosted by the Social Justice Committee of the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Silver City.

Over the ages, music has moved the mountains of human injustice and suffering, from civil rights to women’s rights to Black Lives Matter to labor movements and anti-war protests, and so much more. As Holocaust survivor and Nobel laureate, Eli Wiesel once said, “There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.” Music has always been a means to that end.
