Don’t Just Buy Hearing Aids – Invest in your Hearing Care
The average American struggles five years with untreated hearing loss before getting the help he or she needs. That’s because people often do not know WHO to turn to for help. They may become overloaded with information about hearing aids which makes it confusing on...
Making a Wise Investment in Your Hearing Care
Dear Avalon family, This month, I’m going to focus on being wise about your hearing care. Some of you have hearing loss and have yet to seek help. Sadly, too many people think that the solution to hearing loss is to buy hearing aids. So, I’m going to teach you how NOT...
Warm Cookies & Cold Milk
Dear Avalon family, This Take Heart marks one year of Tuesday morning emails. One year ago, we were all sheltering in place, concerned about this mysterious virus that had rapidly turned into a global pandemic. None of us had ever experienced anything like it. Our...
Train Ride of Life
Dear Avalon family, My mama always said, “Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.” Do you remember that famous quote and scene from the movie, Forrest Gump? Forrest is waiting for a bus when a stranger sits down next to him. Forrest is...
Patent Leather Shoes and B.E.A.R.s
Dear Avalon family, I call my Mom every night to ‘tuck her into bed’ as she lays down to sleep. Last week, she answered her phone. There was no hello, just her saying, “I am STILL wearing my hearing aids because I read your Take Heart on Tuesday email!” Bravo, Mom! ...
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
The Aging ProcessMy 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...
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!
