Kathy has been working with musicians and music lovers since 1988 as the Executive Director and co-founder of HEAR. Pete Townshend of the Who provided a seed grant that gave HEAR its start as well as media attention after coming our about his own hearing loss.

Elliot Easton of the Cars, Spinal Tap, Sonic Youth, DEVO, Stephen Stills, Ozzy Osbourne, Wyclef Jean and Moby in helping spread HEAR's message.

Kathy has spoke at The National Association of Music Manufactures (NAMM), The Audio Engineering Society (AES), CES and SxSW. She also maintains an outreach program by regularly attending concerts with volunteers to hand out hearing protection.

Her latest venture is a new PSA featuring Moby, Ozzy Osbourne and Wyclef Jean called Listen Smart.

Please join Kathy in the Carmel room to learn more about the work she has been doing with HEAR, helping all of us enjoy music longer by Listening Smarter!

Part of the CanJam raffle proceeds will be donated to HEAR. You can also help HEAR with a personal donation through a paypal contribution located on their website.

This “rockumentary” features interviews with some of today’s most popular musicians (including Ozzy Osbourne, Wyclef Jean and Moby) as they talk about the kinds of long-term hearing damage that can occur when music and other sounds are played too loudly. Students are given a detailed look at the mechanics of sound as well as an easy-to-follow description of how the human ear works.

The heck with loud music - I want to hear from Ted Nugent in a rockumentary, confirming that my decision to buy suppressors for my all guns to save my hearing was his recommended method.
