Following the presentation, Justin will be conducting free video otoscopic inspections. You will be able to see the inside of your ear on a video screen to ensure you have no blockage. The video ear inspection can be helpful in understanding why you may be experiencing problems such as:
- Having to turn the television up in order to understand or use closed captioning
- Hearing but not understanding
- Difficulty understanding in crowds such as restaurants
- Frequently asking people to repeat themselves
- People sounding like they are mumbling on the phone
No cost complimentary hearing evaluations will be offered any of the ten Miracle Ear locations in West Michigan for anyone in attendance. In the case treatment is prescribed and you choose to take the step toward better hearing you will be given a free battery charger or TV Streamer with the purchase of a compatible hearing aid.
