BelCare Gold® Hearing Evaluation Community Outreach

Beltone New England has put together several very informative lecture programs focused on hearing loss in adults and uses of hearing aids. These lecture and interactive programs greatly benefit groups and organizations like yours. Below is the 2005-2006 lecture series that our Hearing Care Professionals can conduct for any size group.

As you may know, 1 out of every 4 adults suffers from hearing loss and we feel that our lecture series will help communicate important information and solutions to these problems.

You can contact our Director of Community Relations, Mike Hugyo, at (401) 921-3320 ext 101.  He will be able to answer any questions you may have and help schedule a program for you.

We look forward to helping the world hear better!

  5. Video Otoscope Exam and Hearing Screenings : We insert a fiber optic camera into the ear, and what the camera sees inside of the ear canal is shown on a TV monitor.  We will do a pure tone test to see if an individual has a hearing loss.  The individual will then be informed what the results are from the screening.
  6. Complete Hearing Test :  We provide you with a sign-up sheet for your residents. Our Hearing Health Care Professional will plan his/her schedule accordingly to accommodate the number of tests that need to be completed.

We will provide your facility printed posters that will announce the upcoming lecture.  These posters can be placed in strategic areas in your facility to promote the event.
