Mastering the science of hearing
You come to us when you notice it seems like everyone mumbles, your wife says the TV is too loud, or your husband and grandkids are frustrated for having to repeat themselves to you. Untreated hearing loss can increase the rate of cognitive decline, contribute to social isolation, depression, and poorer overall health. Without a fully functional auditory system, we miss so much of life and loss of income. According to the Better Hearing Institute.* -Hearing loss was shown to negatively impact household income on-average up to $12,000 per year depending on the degree of hearing loss; -The use of hearing instruments was shown to mitigate the [income] effects of hearing loss by 50%; -The estimated cost in lost earnings due to untreated hearing loss is $122 billion.
