Frontiers Conference, 2009
The Decibels Foundation recently sponsored our first annual Frontiers Conference at Harvard Medical School, two
half day family focused conferences on the causes, management, and treatments of hearing loss and Usher syndrome. Families and professionals from across the U.S. and several other countries attended this event to hear Dr. Heidi
Rehm of Brigham and Women's Hospital, Dr. Margaret Kenna of Children's
Hospital Boston and Dr. Albert Edge of Massachusetts Eye and Ear
Infirmary speak on the causes, management and future therapies of
hearing loss. The Usher syndrome session included presentations from leading researchers like Dr. William Kimberling of Boys Town National Hospital.
We plan to make this a regular event, reaching out to more people
affected by hearing loss and Usher syndrome, while offering a network
of support and resources. Thank you to Harvard Medical School Center for Hereditary Deafness, Children's Hospital Boston, Hear See Hope and each of our generous donors for making this event possible.

Decibels' Charity Golf Tournament and July 4th Road Race
Thank you to everyone who supported us at our 7th Annual Charity Golf Tournament and the John Carson 2-mile Road Race on July 4th.
We hope all who participated in the golf tournament had a great time and we look forward to seeing you next year.
The July 4th Road Race couldn't have gone better. The sun was shining and Team Decibels was full of energy on this beautiful Saturday morning. From the traditional scream of thousands of runners under the bridge to the kids along the sidelines dousing us with squirt guns, it was a day to be remembered.
