America Founded On Small Business: Support Small Business!

America was founded on small business. Let’s not let them fade away. Let’s keep our small local businesses strong and support them.   As big box stores come in to our area it is becoming harder for survival, so it is up to the informed consumer to keep America strong.

Eartech Audiology is one of those local businesses. It has been serving patients for the last 35 years along the Wasatch front.  They specialize in comprehensive hearing and balance health care.   Why would you go to Eartech Audiology over a big box store?  People think that the prices are better.  This is a not the case.  If you compare the products and service you would see the differences.  Big box store just sell product and limited service.  Hearing and balance health care is much more than just buying a product.

For your hearing and balance health care you deserve more. As with all medical care, you are looking for someone who has the education and the professional skills that you can trust, as you do with your own medical doctor. Let’s look at some of the differences.

• You are being seen by a Doctor of Audiology that has the knowledge and understanding to give you the best care.  Box stores are staffed by hearing clinicians that have limited understanding of hearing.
• You are taken care of in a quiet professional setting not in a large ware house environment.
• Seeing a Doctor of Audiology doesn’t mean that costs are more.  If your hearing loss requires a hearing aid, Eartech Audiology’s prices are the same or better than the box stores.
• Eartech Audiology lets you try different model of hearing aids from many companies.  All hearing aid companies are not the same and all the models are different.   Which one is best for the patient?  That’s where Eartech Audiology really makes a difference.
• Eartech Audiology consultation covers all brands and models of hearing aids.  Box stores only offer their select models that are limited.  What is usually missing is the better upper end of the product lines.
• Eartech Audiology gives you a trail period where you get to take the hearing aids home and try them.  Hearing how they work in your life style.
• Fitting new hearing aid on a patient is not a one or two time visit.  Multiple adjustments are required over a period to time to maximize the proper fitting of the hearing aid.  Box stores object is to sell hearing aids, as many as possible, extra visits cost them time and money.
• Eartech Audiology understands that it’s not all about the hearing aid.  The follow up and the adjustments of the hearing aid to your life style and work environment needs to happen.  It is also important that  the same professional services are provided to the patient as long as they own the hearing aid.  Getting the right one, that’s adjusted correctly for your hearing loss and with the best cost benefit, is of most importance.
• Eartech Audiology accepts most insurances.  Most big box stores do not.  The patient has to file their own.
• Eartech Audiology, with our years of experience and professional staff will help you with your hearing and balance health care.  We don’t just sell hearing aids like the big box stores.  We are different for a reason.
