MAY IS BETTER HEARING MONTH… Time To Find Out How You Are Hearing!
By Hoglund Family Hearing and Audiology Services
Regularly scheduled hearing tests should be part of your normal health routine but are often not included as part of an annual physical. It is recommended that people over 50 have a hearing test every five years and over 65 every two years.
If you monitor your hearing regularly, typically, you’ll catch problems much sooner, when it is more easily treated. We know in other aspects of health we consider it a blessing when we catch an early stage health problem BEFORE it develops any complications and becomes more challenging to treat… it is the same way with hearing loss!
People often ask “Why do some people do so well in adapting to hearing aids… while others have such a difficult time with them?” According to John Hoglund BC-HIS, ACA of Hoglund Family Hearing and Audiology Center, one of the biggest keys to success is seeing a Hearing Specialist as soon as you can.
According to The Better Hearing Institute in Washington D.C. three in ten people over age 60 have hearing loss. And among Americans ages 41 to 59, about 15 percent already have hearing problems—that’s one in six Baby Boomers. Younger still, 7.4 percent—or one in 14—Generation Xers, ages 29 to 40, suffer from hearing loss. What’s more, at least 1.4 million children, 18 or younger, have hearing problems. And it’s estimated that 3 in 1,000 infants are born with serious to profound hearing loss. John and his wife Patricia, who have had a combined 68 years experience in treating hearing loss, agree that early intervention is critical to happiness with hearing instruments, especially when it involves NERVE DEAFNESS! “If you ask any Hearing Specialist to name their 100 hap-
piest hearing aid Patients, each of us would likely pick the 100 that started with the mildest prescription!” states John, “SMALL change is very easy for the brain to adapt to, while BIG change is much more challenging.”
Hoglund Family Hearing and Audiology Center has been voted Southwest Florida’s BEST Audiology Center, BEST Tinnitus Center, and BEST Place to Buy Hearing Aids! “We feel extremely blessed to have some of the finest Audiologists and Hearing Instrument Specialists in the state of Florida working in our clinics”, John says,” and you are able to schedule an appointment to tap into the minds of these caring and knowledgeable clinicians with NO COST OR OBLIGATION for hearing tests, tinnitus assessments, or programing advice and assistance with your current hearing aids, even if you purchased them from another hearing center!”
“We never wanted expense to be a barrier to learning”, states Mr. Hoglund,” so these consultations with our hearing care providers are completely COMPLIMENTARY, …and we’ve always felt that the only obligation someone has about their hearing is to themselves and their families!” All we ever ask in return is that if you have a wonderful experience with our clinicians, and learn from them, that you’ll pass our name along to others who are looking for a good Hearing Care Provider”! That is how we’ve tried to build our Practice since we opened our doors!
“We’ve always provided FREE HEARING EVALUATIONS for those wishing to learn more about their hearing and furnish dated copies for personal medical records.” John and Patricia have always employed Clinicians who really take their time and truly educate those seeking to know more about their hearing. Patricia adds that they always say, “All it will COST you is a little of your TIME…but the KNOWLEDGE you receive may be PRICELESS!”
