Drs. Tremblay and Wallhagen Share high-tech, low-cost solutions to Help Manage Hearing Loss
SANTA ANA, Calif. /CitizenWire/ -- The Town & Country Life Plan community is offering a free, virtual "Hear Better" event in honor of May's Better Hearing and Speech Month. Dr. Kelly Tremblay and Dr. Margaret Wallhagen will share affordable solutions to help manage hearing loss in everyday conversations.
"Hearing loss is one of the most common chronic sensory problems we experience," said Dr. Tremblay. "There are low-cost options and resources that can help someone have a better quality of life."
The online event Hear Better: 10 Low-Cost & High-Tech Tips is on Thursday, May 13 at 2 p.m. (PDT). RSVP at https://www.tcmanor.com/upcoming-events/.
Here are a few questions to ask if you have trouble hearing:
1. Are you over the age of 65? (yes/no)
2. Do you often ask people to repeat themselves? (yes/no)
3. Do you often think people mumble? (yes/no)
4. Do you have difficulty hearing when there is background noise present? (yes/no)
5. Do friends and family suggest you get your hearing tested? (yes/no)
If you answered yes to any of these questions, there is a good chance you have some type of hearing loss. Approximately one in three people over 65 years of age will experience some degree of hearing problems.
