Brooklyn Audiology Brings Free Hearing Test to Community

The numbers are startling. Over 33 million Americans suffer from hearing loss, yet hearing industry studies reveal that approximately 80% of hearing loss in the early stages is difficult to recognize. Even when family, friends, and co-workers notice an individual’s diminished hearing, recognizing one’s own hearing loss remains the single most common obstacle in patients seeking help. One of the reasons is that symptoms of hearing loss tend to be subtle and easily overlooked or attributed to the aging process.

For the best chance at successful treatment, hearing loss needs to be identified as early as possible. To this end, Brooklyn Audiology Associates is sponsoring a “Dial a Hearing Screening Test” (DAHST), an FDA market-approved, two-minute telephone hearing screening test. The screening offers New York City residents a free, quick, and convenient way to identify hearing loss. Callers to 1-800-222-EARS are connected to the DAHST system. The test can determine whether a more comprehensive hearing test is needed.

Brooklyn Audiology Associates, with convenient locations in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn Heights, and Brighton Beach, offers a complete line of hearing aids.

The staff of licensed audiologists will make sure your hearing aid fits comfortably, works properly and gives you the success that you have been searching for.

At Brooklyn Audiology clients out benefit from the expertise of Richard Kaner, a New York state-licensed audiologist with 22 years of experience. He has helped thousands of people with their hearing problems using the latest technology. For more information or to schedule an appointment, call 1-800-649-3116.
