Don’t Forget Assistive Listening Devices: They’re Not What They Used to Be

March 1, 2021March 1, 2021Paul Teie 4 Comments Audiology / Evidenced Based Care

All a person has to do to hear better is to wear hearing aids.  Slap on a pair and the world will be your oyster.  No more problems.  Easy peasy!   Or maybe not?  Definitely not!  Hearing aids are a tool.  All too often it is the only tool offered to our patients.  In that we…

What I Learned During My Covid-19 “Lockdown”

April 17, 2020Paul Teie 1 Comment Audiology
