Free Hearing Screen - Now Available

HEARING LOSS ranks with Arthritis and Hypertension as the 3 most common chronic medical conditions in the world.

HEARING LOSS is the most frequently undiagnosed and untreated of these 3.

In fact, 80% of people with clinically advanced HEARING LOSS have never been tested or treated for the problem. That’s a hearing loss of 40dB or more in BOTH EARS !!!

Untreated HEARING LOSS has profoundly negative effects. It can cause (or is directly linked to) these and many more problems:

• Clinical Depression
• Acceleration of Dementia and Alzheimer’s Symptoms
• Anger Management Problems
• Social Withdrawal and Isolation
• Increase in Fears and Phobias
• The Ability to Understand and Communicate in Noisy Public Places
• Employability and Earning Power
