In this day and age of changing technology, we find that our patients are very interested in what is happening in the hearing health arena. We like to keep our patients informed and updated when new products are introduced. It is also very important to us that they are pleased with our service and the hearing aids they select.

In order to pass on very interesting and important information, we send out "SoundBytes" on a monthly basis. We post them on our website as well, so they can be read at any time.

Is it time for a Hearing Test?


Have you ever been eating out and wondered why you couldn't hear your dining companion? Do you blame the noise in the restaurant? Or the music they are playing?

Perhaps you are experiencing some early warning signs of Noise Induced Hearing Loss. They can be described as:

Your ears hurt or ring after exposure to noise
Your ears feel full, like 'they have cotton' in them
Speech is not loud enough or clear enough


Most experts agree that sound in excess of 80 decibels, over an 8-hour time period, can cause irreversible damage. Some examples are:
60dB - Conversation
110dB - Construction
85dB - iPod
125dB - Fireworks
95dB - Vacuum
140dB - "Boom" cars
100dB - Power tools
150dB - Guns


Let us help! Call us today for a no-charge baseline hearing screening. We can provide custom ear protection and education about the prevention of hearing damage. It is never too late to start protecting your hearing!
