what we sell. Any in-house service including minor repairs, modifications,

there is no charge.

nominal fee. We offer either a per-office-visit charge or you can sign up

is not under warranty and needs to be sent to a lab for repair, we will
provide an estimate of charges.

Warranty and free batteries for 3 years.
Hearing loss from excessive exposure to noise is one of the most common causes of hearing loss, especially among baby-boomers (those born between 1946 and 1964). This type of hearing loss can be caused by a one-time exposure to loud sound as well as by repeated exposure to sounds at various levels. It is referred to as Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) and is almost always preventable but rarely reversible.
