Ahrens Hearing Blog Introduction
Welcome to the Ahrens Hearing Center blog.
The purpose for this blog is to bring information to our local audience through the internet where we all know is a place where so much information is thrown around. Hearing health care has transformed wildly in the past years with internet playing a role and this will be our way to reach our local community and bring forth information about hearing healthcare that frankly is tough to find on the internet.
Through our years of being in business it is quite clear that many of our patients come into our office with very little knowledge about hearing loss and hearing aids. We have seen this lack of understanding result in poor choices regarding hearing health care including but not limited to:
- The decision not to address a hearing loss
- Delayed decision to address a hearing loss
- Accommodating someone else’s un-treated hearing loss
- An improperly fit set of hearing devices or unrealistic expectations resulting in the “sock drawer” syndrome (hearing aids that were paid for but not used for various reasons)
- The list goes on!
We will focus on educating our readers so that they may make an informed, educated decision about how to properly move forward and treat a hearing loss. If what is posted here results in better hearing care for anyone with a hearing impairment, then we have all made progress.
Additionally, we are always willing to look introspectively to be sure we are offering the best services and products we can for the people we serve. With that being said we hope that you will view this blog as being written with as little bias as possible, focusing on that which will result in the best hearing health care. Our hope is that everyone can take something away from what will be posted here and if you have any suggestions for post topics, please do not hesitate to email Dan at dan@ahrenshearing.com.
Also, don’t forget that we have social media sites now where we will post relevant information relating to hearing health care so please visit those pages and “like” or “follow us” to get updates on what is posted.
