Attend Free Educational Lunch n’ Learn Seminar
Hearing loss comes in many forms, but the most common and most ignored is a high frequency hearing loss. This person hears perfectly well in quiet situations or one-on-one, but when there is background noise, speech doesn’t sound clear. They are “hearing” just fine, but they are not understanding. Often times, a person will wait many years before having their hearing tested because it is easy to think that people around them are just mumbling.
“Look at me when you speak to me; Don’t talk to me from the other room; TV shows don’t even try to be clear any more.” If you are a person who loves someone that says things like that, you probably realize the truth in what Helen Keller said, “Blindness separates people from things; deafness separates people from people.”
Hearing loss can separate us from the people we love without us even realizing it. A small grandchild can be asked to repeat themselves, but it never quite comes out the same as the first time. A dinner out with friends used to be full of laughs, but it can be hard to participate when the punchline is missed.
With the holiday season upon us, maybe now is the time to get your loved one to come in for a free hearing evaluation. If they have treatable hearing loss, then it could also be time for a 30 day hearing aid trial to really test the experience when family is in town. If you just want the opportunity to ask questions outside of the office, consider attending our upcoming free educational Lunch n’ Learn. It is the perfect format for the person who is ready to ask questions but not to ready to make a decision.

Hi! I’m Madison. I’m a Board Certified Hearing Instrument Specialist (like my mother). I’m observing, learning, absorbing and sharing as I become a part of this beautiful South Charlotte Hearing community. I want to know you! So please leave me comments if my posts are meaningful to you or teach you something new, and feel free to tweet me at @LevineHearing!
Would it be feasible to use your services if I live 2 1/2 hours away from your offices. Many of your patients comments gave caught my attention.
I currently have a hearing aid from Avada. Just exploring options.
Experienced Sudden Sensory Hearing Loss in left ear, five years ago, extreme loss.
The right ear, two years ago, have hearing aid. Hearing fluctuates.

Wondering your opinion as to what to do?
Sincerely
Hi Clark! Thank you for reaching out with your questions. I’m going to go ahead and email you directly, but the short answer is yes, I would love to help you regardless of the distance! I have patients that come to me from great distances, even from out of state, but it is important that I see them 2-3 times within the first month of a new hearing aid fitting, as I am very hands on to ensure their success. I’ll email you with more specifics to your case. Thank you! -Madison
I truly hope many people are attending your informational lunches–SO helpful
