Much like age-related changes in your eyesight, the ability to hear a full range of sound can diminish so gradually over the years that it's hard to notice. Recent studies show that while approximately 50% of all older Americans are affected by hearing loss, approximately 80% of Americans with hearing loss are currently undiagnosed and untreated. Eye Care Specialists has added a hearing screening and hearing aids as a complimentary service primarily because it caters to the many of the same seniors who also require routine vision care. Eye Care Specialists now offers hearing testing and treatment utilizing the latest automated hearing screening equipment and the highest quality digital hearing aids.
The Doctors at Eye Care Specialists are proud to welcome Jim Powell as the newest specialist on our team. He is a certified Hearing Instrument Specialist with 8 years of experience. Jim is a native of Northeastern Pennsylvania and a graduate of The University of Scranton.
Jim will work closely with the Eye Care Specialists doctors to offer the most technologically advanced hearing aids available while providing the QUALITY, INTEGRITY, and PROFESSIONALISM that patients expect when they visit an Eye Care Specialists office.
If hearing aids can help you, Jim will be able to create a hearing solution that will not only improve your ability to hear but also improve the quality and enjoyment of your life. Some of the newest hearing aids are so small and blend so well with a person’s hair color they are barely detectable! From custom fit to ready to wear models, your hearing aid from EYE CARE SPECIALISTS will offer you the best in digital clarity, modern design, and all-day comfort. For years we have helped you “see” your world better – now the doctors you trust can help you “hear” your world better too!
