I Wear A Hearing Aid!
If you have hearing loss, wouldn’t it make sense to talk with someone who understands first hand the
problems associated with hearing loss?
I also work with the Beltone Hearing Care Center, in Warner Robins. If you need hearing aids, wouldn’t it
make sense to go to the most trusted and recognized name in the hearing care industry, among consumers age
50 and older?
I invite you to visit our office in the Doctors’ Building on Hospital Drive. We offer a complete hearing
evaluation and consultation at no charge. If you have a hearing loss, we will let you listen to digital hearing
aids to set realistic expectations. You can
also have a 30 day trial period to be sure
the instruments are right for you.
