Learn How You Can Improve Your Hearing and Your Life at Free Community Seminar May 18, 7 p.m. - 4/20/2011
Wallingford, CT, April 20, 2011..... If you or a loved one has experienced hearing loss, you're not alone. More than half of people over the age of 65 have hearing loss that affects their family relationships and quality of life. Unfortunately, only about 40% of those individuals will seek help for the condition.
Masonicare understands that significant, untreated hearing loss can cause embarrassment and undue stress, making social activities and interaction with family and friends uncomfortable and frustrating.
Fortunately, there are more ways than ever to improve your hearing. As an educational service to the community in May during Better Speech and Hearing Month, Masonicare is hosting a free audiology seminar that will provide important information on how hearing can be enhanced. The seminar will be held on Wednesday, May 18, at 7:00 p.m. at Masonicare at Ashlar Village, Cheshire Road, Wallingford.
Guest speaker Melissa Pacey, AuD, a technology specialist with Phonak, will discuss the major causes of hearing loss and explain how the latest advances in digital hearing aid technology can ultimately improve hearing and quality of life. Hillary Lewis, AuD, Clinical Doctor of Audiology with Masonicare Health Center's comprehensive Audiology Department, will also be on hand to provide additional information and answer your questions.
Every seminar attendee will receive a coupon from Masonicare Health Center worth $200 off the purchase price of one hearing aid and $400 off the price of two hearing aids (both ears).
Complimentary refreshments will be served. Reservations for the free program are required, and seating is limited. Please contact the Masonicare Helpline at 1-888-679-9997 by Friday, May 13, to reserve your space.
