Have you noticed a difficulty hearing? Do you find yourself frustrated in noisy situations, or having trouble following the conversation and understanding the people speaking to you? Are you frequently asking people to repeat themselves in conversation?
It's time to show your colors. Who do you think will win the Ohio State versus Michigan football game on Saturday?
The Icon offers a handful of Shannon Theatre passes to the winner and runner-up. Here's how it works:
• You may enter as many times as you wish, but each entry must be under a different name.
• Entry deadline is noon, Saturday, Nov. 24.
• There are several spread-point options for contestants to chose the winner.
• The contest has two tie-breaker questions.
• If there is a tie after two tie breakers, the earliest entry wins.

Loaded with experience, the time is now for the Bluffton Lady Pirate basketball team.
Bluffton returns the top seven scorers from last year’s squad that went 17-7 overall and 6-2 in Northwest Conference play. At the heart of it all are seniors Alivia Koenig, Averey Rumer, Katie Prater and Ashley Eachus.
