Why Is Wearing Hearing Aids Good For Your B.E.A.R.?
Last week in my Take Heart connection with you, I talked about the importance of wearing your hearing aids full-time. Staying home over this past year because of the pandemic has a lot of people justifying that they don’t need to wear their hearing aids as much as...
Wearing Hearing Aids Is Good For Your B.E.A.R.!
How many hours per day do you wear your hearing aids? I find myself asking this question often, now that we all live in this altered world of the pandemic. Clients have differing answers, but what I’ve been hearing lately deeply concerns me. More and more, people are...
Walking & Hearing For Your Health
This past week, I put on my running shoes and walked four times. I walked when I was tired. I walked when my knees hurt, and I felt stiff. I walked when the sunlight beckoned me outdoors. I walked by myself and I walked with a friend. I also walked into my doctor’s...
The Aging Process
My Mom says, “Age is just a number they pin on you. It doesn’t mean a thing.” I think to myself that it doesn’t mean a thing unless we put meaning on the age we are. I’m curious. What comes to mind when you contemplate your age? That number that they pin on you? May...
Hearing Aids…Are They Really Getting Sexy?
They say that if you want to sell something, put ‘sexiness’ into your advertising. I never thought I would see ‘sex’ come to hearing aids. Being in the hearing healthcare field for over 40 years (I started when I was 12 years old! 😉), I’ve noticed a trend. ...
I hear what I want to hear!
Have you or someone you know said these words? If you ever find yourself saying these words, you may be protecting yourself from feeling embarrassed about your hearing. “You hear what you want to hear.” You just don’t catch all the words. Other than having slight...
Your Ears. Brain. And Heart
I love how clients describe their hearing loss. “My hearing sounds FOGGY.” “It’s like people are talking through a wet towel.” “Life sounds blurry and out of focus.” “It’s a lot like trying to look through a dirty window.” These descriptions of hearing loss made me...
No Deaf Chickens
Chickens may unlock a cure for hearing loss one day. They (and some other birds) can regrow the tiny, hair-like nerve cells in their inner ears after injury. Scientists at Stanford University are studying chickens in hopes of restoring human hearing in the future. But...
An Overly Mature Man
I learn so much from you. What seems like a standard check-up for you and your hearing instruments so often becomes a wonderful connection between two human beings. That connection may be between You and me, You and Emily, You and Alan. Or those connections on the...
I truly love this place they treat you more than just a client but more likefamily right off the bat! Front desk lady is super nice and my audiologist is wonderful. They actually care about your needs rather than shove something you might not benefit from. They're very practical, professional and listen to all your concerns. I would highly recommend this place to anyone in need of a hearing aid.
I instantly felt I was in good hands when I met Betty when I was in need of replacement hearing aids. And so I drove two hours to get to Avalon and didn't regret the extra effort for even a moment. I've had hearing loss for years and loved the hearing aids I got six years ago but it was time to replace them when my cat chewed one of them. And I'm so much happier with the new ones! The technology has vastly improved but also Betty's exam was so thorough. I learned things about my hearing I'd not known. And she was very thoughtful about which devices I should consider. Betty has a lovely, caring manner along with a high level of expertise. This is not a hard sell business but rather a satisfaction guaranteed process.
Been part of Avalon family for almost 2,years and have always loved their personal care and the receptionist are top notch to make sure the patients don't mishear appointments. If you ever get to attend a class it's completely worth it!
