Oro Valley Audiology 2542 E Vistoso Commerce Loop Rd, Tucson, AZ 85755, USA (520) 825-4770 http://hearintucson.com https://www.google.com/maps?cid=7471816986561274177 https://www.google.com/search?q=Oro+Valley+Audiology&kponly&kgmid=/g/1thx4hd3 As the name suggests, and audiologist is a health-care professional who concentrates on the medical diagnoses, recognition, tracking and treatment of conditions of the auditory and vestibular parts of the ear. These specialists dispense hearing aids, manage and fix up hearing problems and evaluate candidacy for cochlear implants. An audiologist helps style and carry out individual and industrial hearing safety programs, newborn hearing screening programs, and school hearing screening programs. Audiologists have training in anatomy and physiology, hearing aids, cochlear implants, electrophysiology, acoustics, psychophysics, neurology, vestibular function and evaluation, balance disorders, therapy and indication language. Unfortunately, hearing loss is prevalent throughout the U.S.

An estimated 48 million people in the United States have hearing loss, yet only 20 percent of people who could benefit from a hearing aid wear one. Cost is a major barrier as the average price of a hearing aid is $1,500 per ear, and can run as high as $3,000-$5,000 each. With the introduction of HearTEK™ Leasing from EPIC Hearing Healthcare (EPIC), individuals with hearing loss now have access to the latest name brand hearing aid technology without the barrier of huge upfront costs and with the peace of mind that they will not be locked into out-of-date technology. “Consumers have gotten used to many of the benefits of leasing their smartphones – no one wants to pay upfront for technology that could be quickly outdated as hearing aid manufacturers regularly introduce new devices with updated features,” said Brad Volkmer, president and CEO, EPIC Hearing Healthcare. “The HearTEK Leasing program is an affordable new way to give more people with hearing loss access to quality hearing aid technology, so they can start hearing life to the fullest.” To view the multimedia release go to: http://www.multivu.com/players/English/7808551-epic-heartek-leasing-hearing-aid/
