Free, No Obligation Hearing Tests Through December 31st in Avon

And How Hearing at 80 West Avon Rd/CT 167, between Avalon Drive and Woodmont Road, offering free tests for adults through December

“When family members and friends gathered for Thanksgiving, some people sadly realized their inabilities to hear what people were saying and participate in conversations,” stated Howard Raff, owner of And How Hearing in Avon and Waterbury. “Their inabilities undoubtedly caused great frustrations and if gone un-checked can frequently create sadness and isolation. Feelings of fear, anger and discouragement isolate individuals from their loved ones and often lead to increasing frustrations for everyone gathered together.”

Through December 31, 2015, And How Hearing is offering free hearing tests to adults 18 and older. “We offer options. If hearing loss is detected and hearing aids are recommended, we offer aids that start in price from $1,095 and increase as levels of technology needed increases. We know how important hearing effectively is to a person’s sense of self-worth, happiness and good overall health. That’s why we offer a full range of technology in hearing aids that vary from moderate to high end pricing.”

And How Hearing’s Raff assures no obligations are made of visitors to And How Hearing for free hearing tests. “There are no strings attached and no hidden costs. Our role is first to educate people about hearing loss and the research that overwhelmingly affirms that hearing loss is often tied to multiple health problems which can range from risk of falling and Dementia to possible heart attacks and strokes.”

Offering highly individualized services, And How Hearing has earned a respected reputation for identifying hearing loss problems and providing affordable hearing aids to supplement the loss. “Everyone, of course, is different,” stated Raff, “so we work offer each individual highly-personalized services.

We want to understand a person’s lifestyle, their limitations, health issues or concerns. We take all of these into consideration, including budget constraints for which we offer various forms of financing options. We do not begin pricing with the most expensive hearing aids and explain options from the ‘top down.’ Rather, we research the most effective and affordable hearing aids for each individual and present the most affordable pricing options from the bottom up.”
