We have a solution! Mask extenders allow you to comfortably wear a face mask without tangling the straps and hearing aids around your ears.... Instead, the extender sits at the back of your head so you can wear both your mask and your hearing devices without any difficulties.

Q: What do insurance benefits and hearing have in common? A: They are both USE IT OR LOSE IT! The longer you wait to treat your hearing loss, the more at risk you are for developing cognitive decline and Dementia. It’s really a simple ‘use it or lose it’ phenomenon that happens in the brain when you lose stimulation from the ears, much of the brain goes silent (pun intended!). AND... if you wait too long to use your annual insurance benefits, you will lose them for good!... So don’t wait any longer, read our report on the connections of hearing loss and Dementia at https://buff.ly/36xg0TN or call (949) 312-4479 to get in before the end of the year to use your benefit and treat your brain right!
