During the event, six hearing-impaired individuals were fitted with free state-of-the-art hearing aid instruments and will also benefit from follow-up care for the next year at no charge, an early Christmas miracle for the recipients as the average cost for a set of hearing aids is $5,000.

The event was a day filled with gratitude, generosity, appreciation and a reminder to everyone that hearing loss affects not only the individual, but also the entire family.

Welcome to the Norwood News, a bi-weekly community newspaper that primarily serves the northwest Bronx communities of Norwood, Bedford Park, Fordham and University Heights. Through our Breaking Bronx blog, we focus on news and information for those neighborhoods, but aim to cover as much Bronx-related news as possible. Founded in 1988 by Mosholu Preservation Corporation, a not-for-profit affiliate of Montefiore Medical Center, the Norwood News began as a monthly and grew to a bi-weekly in 1994. In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts. The Norwood News runs the Bronx Youth Journalism Heard, a journalism training program for Bronx high school students.
