o view the surgery go to YouTube - robertmhinderliter's Channel The Cochlear BAHA BP100 Hearing Aid for Single Sided Deafness is a fully programmable sound processor (hearing aid) for people with conductive loss, mixed loss or single-sided deafness. It is mounted behind the ear on the deaf side on a titanium post (similar to tooth implant) to transmit sound through the scull bone structure to the inner ear on the hearing side. It transmits sound through bone conduction similar to a dentist drill. Dr. Robert (Bob) Owens of Owens Ear Center (800-693-6732) , Dallas, Texas performed the surgery on Robert Hinderliter in just under 15 minutes. Normal time for this surgery is up to 1.5 hours; however, Dr. Robert Owens has performed over 300 of these surgeries. Only one other surgeon has performed about this number of surgeries in the U.S. The technique that Dr. Owens used does not result in any hair loss around the implant; which may be important to women.

RAHSCO Cleaning Systems Is Now Delux Cleaning Supply After 37 years as an industry leader, Robert Hinderliter handing the keys over to son Michael After serving almost four decades as a pressure washing industry leader, Robert Hinderliter, President of Rahsco Cleaning Systems, announced his “semi” retirement after selling the company assets to son Michael Hinderliter. Under the new leadership, RAHSCO will become Delux Cleaning Supply. “I’m excited about taking over the company and continuing to move us forward in a way that’s beneficial to the contractor,” said Michael. “We also want to celebrate all that Robert has done over the past 37 years.” Robert founded what is now RAHSCO Cleaning Systems of Fort Worth in April, 1973. That was when he started his mobile power washing company, Mobile Enterprises, which continued to serve the greater Ft. Worth area for 10 years. At its height, Mobile Enterprises employed 26 staff members, had five mobile power wash units, and earned over $1 million in sales. In 1982, Robert turned his attention to equipment distributing, and has since grown RAHSCO Cleaning Systems of Ft. Worth into a national mobile power wash supplier of equipment, parts, chemicals, schools, seminars and training videos. Since that time, Robert has been on the cutting edge of the pressure washing leadership. His endeavors include: Founding two industry trade associations for power wash contract cleaners, the Power Washers of North America (PWNA) in 1992, and the United Association of Mobile Contract Cleaners in (*****) in 2006. Speaking at several trade associations, including the international Window Cleaning Association (IWCA), the International Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning Association (IKECA), the Cleaning Equipment Trade Association (CETA), PWNA and *****. Developing the industry’s first online bulletin board in 1996. Leading the country in environmental education, and helping create the ordinance environmental code for the city of Ft. Worth, which is now on the EPA’a website as a model ordinance for other municipalities. Robert is excited about the new business, and will join the company part-time in sales, technical support and to share his environmental expertise. Michael will serve as the company’s president. As Robert’s son, Michael grew up in the pressure washing industry, working nights and weekends for his dad before starting his own business, Steamaway, in 1985 in order to pay for his school and his first home. “I focused on truck washing because it worked well with my school schedule,” he explained. Michael graduated from the University of Texas at Arlington with a degree in accounting, but quickly discovered he could actually earn a better living washing trucks. Along with Steamaway, Michael also now owns Facilitec Southwest, a kitchen-exhaust cleaning company. Now, he is adding Delux to his list of companies, and will focus on providing education to the contract cleaner and selling power washing supplies. “I believe that all of my experience in the industry will be a great asset in my new role as a distributor selling back to the contractor. With the education programs that we have, the business information we present, the quality products we offer, Delux will be available to support the contractors so they can be successful,” Michael concluded. “In my opinion, making sure the contractor is successful is what makes us successful. I’m excited to be able to do just that.” ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This was sent to me for posting. We wish Robert a wonderful semi-retirement which he has more than earned, and best of success to Michael in his endeavors! Beth
