Our audiologists will work with the patient and the patient's family to explain what particular hearing problems the patient is experiencing, as well as the type(s) of assistive listening devices that will best serve their needs - at a cost that is affordable.
You may read that some of the other hearing aid sales people in our community are selling their hearing aids at special prices and/or below the "Manufacturer's Recommended Sales Price," (MRSP). It is a fact that most, if not all facilities, always sell their aids below the MRSP. The reason is simple; the manufacturers state an inflated price so that the consumer feels like they are getting a "deal". It is like purchasing a car below the "sticker price".
What we guarantee is that you will get value for your money and the Eye & Ear Clinic will stand behind their product. After 52 years of serving this community, we feel that this guarantee is worth more than an ad in the paper.
The first step for you, should you feel comfortable with what you have read so far, is to make an appointment for a complimentary hearing screening and consultation. You should understand that initial test is only a hearing screening, not a medically diagnostic evaluation. However, from the screening, our audiologists can usually determine if medical referral and evaluation are necessary and if application of hearing aids, assistive listening devices, and listening strategies might be helpful.
Should our audiologists and one of our physicians agree that you are a candidate for personal amplification devices, we always offer a three-month, "no risk" trial. Should you find that the listening devices are of benefit to your hearing needs, you will have the opportunity to purchase hearing aid accessories such as telephones and FM assistive devices at cost. Of even greater cost savings benefit to our hearing impaired patients is our offer to repair at cost all Eye and Ear Clinic acquired hearing aids. To the best of our knowledge we are the only facility state wide to offer such savings. We welcome the opportunity to serve your personal and family hearing loss needs.
