Welcome

It is truly an honor for me to lead a Hearing Center that envisions providing premium hearing health services to its patients. I understand that if you are viewing our website and planning to visit our center, you know someone who is experiencing the limitations of not being able to communicate properly at work, social or family events. When hearing quality is reduced, one’s daily life is harder and more complex than it needs to be. I’m glad you have decided to act. Untreated hearing loss has been linked to changes in the brain tissue, depression, isolation, and in recent studies, to dementia.

On the other hand, good hearing keeps you involved in life and able to participate in social and work activities. To hear better again you need professional expertise and the latest technology. I hope that if you already tried hearing aids and were not satisfied you will give hearing technology a second chance. Remember that technology on its own does not work; you need professional expertise to fit you properly and follow up with you on your hearing health. If properly selected and fitted, hearing aids do make a difference. They make life a lot easier!
