(EMAILWIRE.COM, May 20, 2009 ) Lake Forest, IL - May 18, 2009 – In the tradition of National Women's Health Week, hearing aids manufacturer and retailer, Hearing Central LLC, is continuing the nation's focus on health screenings this May. The company is offering free information on the importance of hearing screenings, or hearing tests, in determining whether or not hearing aids might positively impact a patient's life.
"Even mild hearing loss can affect a patient's daily routine,” says Phil Wyatt, CEO of Hearing Central LLC. "They may feel like they're missing out on things when they can't follow full conversations; it may affect their work life, or they may feel isolated. Hearing loss is often very treatable with the right hearing aids, making suffering unnecessary for many people. The first step to calculating if they need hearing aids is to get a hearing test to gauge the level of hearing loss."
According to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), approximately 36 million Americans suffer from some degree of hearing loss. Patients aren't alone. Hearing Central LLC offers a free online hearing test to help people determine if they're at a greater risk of hearing loss, and if they should consult a professional for a hearing screening.
"Sometimes people avoid hearing tests or hearing aids because they're embarrassed to admit something is wrong," says Wyatt. "Hearing loss is a common disorder though, and nothing to be ashamed of. It's important for people to move past their hesitation and get a hearing screening. It will help them improve their comfort levels in social situations and participate in conversations. It's also a matter of safety. People need to be able to hear a telephone ring or a fire alarm in an emergency. Many instances of hearing loss can be treated with the right hearing aids, and a hearing test is the best way for patients to find the right solutions for taking back control of their lives."
Hearing Central LLC manufactures and sells discount digital hearing aids, such as the Melody open fit hearing aids and the digi-Ear digital hearing aids lines. Because the company only sells on the Internet, middleman costs are eliminated, and they can offer hearing aids for thousands less than similar models sold in an audiologist’s office.
