Let's fix those old hearing aids!

A lot of us have hearing aids sitting in our drawers that, for whatever reason, are no longer being used in our ears, but are taking up space in a drawer instead.
Age and use can wreak havoc on our hearing aids. Whether they are broken or not adjusted properly, we need to get this problem addressed. Hearing aids are too expensive an investment to have them sitting in a drawer and not used daily.
Sometimes getting them working is as simple as doing a thorough clean and check, and then troubleshooting further, if need be. Get them out of the drawer and bring them in to me, and we will get them working again!
The average life expectancy of a hearing aid is approximately five to seven years. At times, it is beneficial to just repair them and on other occasions, it's worth upgrading the technology. I will be able to help you to determine which is best for your needs.
It may be time to fix or time to retire old technology. Stop missing out on life; let's get this taken care of!

Communication tips
Things you can do to help your family member with hearing loss to communicate better with those around them.
Shop local, buy local
Invest in your own community. Local businesses are owned by people who live in this community; they are less likely to leave, and more invested in the future of the community and the quality of service that goes along with the purchase. Buying local from the small business owner is what makes our town a "hometown."
