Free Holiday Hearing Tests Through December 31st
With holiday season upon us, many people 18 and older, are becoming concerned how they will be able to participate in holiday gatherings

“As family members and friends gather this holiday season,” stated Howard Raff, owner of And How Hearing in Waterbury and Avon, “their inabilities to hear what people are saying, and participate in conversations, becomes very frustrating and frequently creates 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. “What we offer are options. If hearing loss is detected and hearing aids are recommended, we offer our clients 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 is precisely 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. No hidden costs. Certainly no obligations. Our role is first to educate everyone who comes to us about hearing loss. We want people to know that research overwhelmingly affirms that hearing loss is often tied to multiple health problems. These problems 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. “What we do differently is to offer 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. Because we want to help people to hear better, 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.”
