Hear, feel and experience hearing again…before you buy with a caring professional that will take the time to understand what the problems are and has the options available that best suit your hearing needs.

Let’s face the ‘noisy restaurant’ challenge together, head-on so you can see how hearing aids will help you in the everyday challenges you encounter.

With my years of experience working with people considering hearing aids, I know it’s helpful to have them experience hearing aids in places where they have problems. This allows people to experience how hearing aids work and help.

I have a no-risk offer for you.
Set up an appointment. I’ll check your hearing. I’ll tune the hearing aids to your personal hearing levels. I’ll treat you (and your spouse or friend) to lunch so you have a “real-world” demonstration with small, comfortable, easy-to-use hearing aids.  The lunch appointment is set specifically for you and designed to let you see for yourself what hearing aids can do for your situation.

In addition to the free lunch, you will receive hearing loss information and learn about how hearing aids can help. Your hands-on experience with hearing aids will demonstrate how they will work for you in noisy places.

…and you will have had a great free lunch.

Try this easy way to see what hearing aids can do for you and your hearing problems. There is no pressure on you to buy. There is no obligation.

I know you will be impressed with the demonstration in a real restaurant (not in a simulated environment in an office).

“An extremely popular demonstration program. Limited availability. Call (303) 988-7299 now to schedule your free lunch and demonstration. Offer ends June 15, 2012″

There are two things that are extraordinary with the Resound Alera hearing aids:

1. The ReSound Unite wireless accessories for watching TV are second to none. They are great!  All it requires is a transmitter that hooks to your TV. Then everyone with the ReSound wireless feature on their hearing aids are able to hear the TV. There are no other external devices that must be worn. It’s a pretty cool system. I really like this system because it is so easy to use. You push a button on the hearing aid and you’re good to go. Another feature that makes them better than TVEars is that you are able to listen to television AND have a conversation with others in the room at the same time.
2. The second extraordinary feature is the water-resistant coating called iSolate. It helps you keep the hearing clean and out of the repair shop.

The good news is that today’s hearing aids have evolved to meet the needs of today’s active lifestyles of people with hearing loss.

Today’s hearing aids are:

• high performance medical devices
• easy to use
• discreet
• light weight
• reliable
• comfortable
• helpful

Better hearing helps you get more out of life!

Hearing aids are designed to help you hear conversations more easily—even in noisy places. Now, THAT STATEMENT DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU WILL HEAR AND UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING IN EVERY SITUATION. That is an impossible and unrealistic expectation from an electronic device.

An appropriately selected and programmed hearing aid will make hearing easier.

The modern technologies are designed to help

• hear conversations more easily
• reduce the problem with unwanted noise
• locate and focus on sounds of interest

Hearing aids come with a range of price points and technologies.  Finding the cheapest hearing aid probably is not the best value for your hearing.  For the budget conscious (and who is not budget conscious), finding the best value in hearing aids is a smart approach.  We can help you select the hearing aids that will give you the best value for your budget needs.

A hearing aid no longer is an indication that you are aging. In fact, the failure to use hearing aids is often a greater indication of “getting old.” Hearing better helps you feel more confident and involved with others.

What would it mean to you if you could:

• hear and understand more easily
• feel relaxed (instead of drained) after a long conversation in a restaurant
• feel more comfortable hearing in meetings
• regain energy with your new listening ease
• listen to TV or radio with others at a volume that suits you—and them

Make the decision to get your hearing checked. It’s easy.

If you want, give us a call and we’ll set up a complementary consultation and hearing check in our office. If you live outside our area, we can refer you to someone close to your home.

The right hearing solution can help you stay more active and comfortably involved with the life you enjoy.

•     memory and cognitive problems
•     other problems that might affect how they may use the hearing aids

4.  As we discuss and consider the types of hearing aids that may be suggested, we provide information about the features that should be considered, such as:

•     how specific technologies may work for them
•         two hearing aids vs one
•         multiple memories
