Dr. Myers is a social psychologist and communicator of psychological science to college students and the public. His scientific writings, supported by National Science Foundation grants and fellowships, have appeared in three dozen periodicals. He has also written for the public through articles in four dozen magazines and through seventeen books. In A Quiet World: Living with Hearing Loss (Yale) he discusses the psychology of hearing, hearing technology, and his experiences with hearing loss. Through www.hearingloop.org and two dozen articles he has advocated doubling the functionality of hearing aids through the spread of induction loops in homes, auditoriums and worship centers, and transient venues such as ticket windows, airports, and pharmacy counters. Over the last quarter century he has accumulated two years living in Scotland, where he has witnessed and appreciated the spread of hearing aid compatible assistive listening, and wished for such in the USA (where it can now be found in hundreds of west Michigan venues).
