Affordable Hearing Centers

Over the past few weeks, we have learned about the developing spread of the COVID-19 Virus commonly known as the coronavirus. Our staff has always kept and continue to keep our clinics clean and safe for all of our patients and staff. We wipe down all surfaces, tools, and equipment between patients and sanitize the office regularly. The safety of our staff and patients is our number one concern. Needless to say, these efforts are redoubled at this time.

In addition, we are in contact with all local and national authorities to stay compliant and informed of local needs and follow all guidelines. These authorities include the Centers for Disease Control, the World Health Organization, as well as local governments. In addition to providing the cleanest clinic possible, we encourage everyone to take a few simple steps to better avoid the spread of this virus, including:

• Wash your hands regularly with soap and warm water.
• Avoid unnecessary contact with others.
• Avoid touching your face, eyes and mouth.
• Cleaning all common surfaces including your phone/tablet regularly.

In addition, we encourage everyone to handle their own hearing aids and avoid others touching them as much as possible. Please reach out to us prior to using chemicals to wipe down your hearing aids. Some chemicals can actually damage your devices. Our offices are here to continue to provide the concierge level of care that you have come to expect from us; we can give your hearing aids a deep cleaning for you.

We are proud to serve you and the entire community with better hearing and look forward to continuing the work of helping to connect you to those you love. There has never been a more important time to be able to hear and never a better time to connect to those around you.

There’s plenty to think about when you set off on vacation: passports, tours, currencies and accommodation.

But if you’re dealing with mild or complete hearing loss, the condition makes travelling a whole new ball game.

Things that most people take for granted can be more difficult, even with mild hearing loss, so it’s a good idea to consider all aspects of your vacation and figure out how you can make it easier and even more enjoyable.

Depending on your level of hearing loss, you may experience difficulties with:

Hearing or understanding airline boarding and in-flight announcements

Making reservations over the phone

Hearing someone knocking on a hotel door, or warning signals such as smoke alarms

Using public telephones, hotel phones, or mobile phones

Getting the most out of planned activities, such as tours, museum lectures, and live performances.

You can avoid troubles while travelling with the use of a hearing aid.

Let us show you the positive impact a hearing aid can provide for you!
