World Health Day

March 25, 2020 by Kathy

March 5, 2020 by Kathy

Over the last few years, you may have noticed a push toward rechargeable hearing aid batteries. There are some things to keep in mind before you purchase hearing devices. The rechargeable batteries are now on their second generation and have improved greatly. The first generation was pretty bad and I wouldn't recommend that technology unless the patient had a vision or dexterity problem.
