Ohana offers free test for hearing

Early detection of hearing loss helps treatment

The professionals at Ohana Hearing Care have served Hawaii since 1966. Today, they offer the latest technology and treatment to help correct hearing loss.

Over 100,000 people, enough to fill Aloha Stadium twice, have a correctable hearing loss. Yet, less than 25 percent of these people have sought relief from this condition.

Hearing loss – even a mild hearing loss – can be more than just an inconvenience. Poor communication can be the source of tension and stress at home, on the job and between friends. However, it doesn't have to be that way. Nearly everyone with a hearing loss can be helped. Today, more than ever before, there are viable solutions that work for virtually all types and degrees of hearing loss.

Since 1966 Ohana Hearing Care has received numerous national awards over the past 40 years for helping people overcome hearing loss. "We constantly research the latest scientific developments so we can offer the very latest technologies," states D. Kona Smith, director of the clinic.

When it comes to experience, the staff of hearing care experts at Ohana has no equal. They have a combined total of 123 years. Each staff member attends continuing education seminars to make sure they are knowledgeable in all the latest areas of hearing health care technology.

FREE test and evaluation

"Ohana Hearing Care offers an exclusive 'instant' test and demonstration for anyone with a hearing problem," Smith points out. "We pioneered this new method. Utilizing specialized computer equipment, we can analyze hearing loss and demonstrate the solution all within a few minutes time. The results are accurate and dramatic."

Ohana Hearing Care urges anyone with a hearing loss to experience this remarkable procedure. Take a few minutes to see for yourself how much better you may be able to hear. Early detection of hearing loss is critical to proper treatment. Call 593-2137 now for an appointment or for more information.

Hear better in noisy places

Providing patients with better hearing in noisy situations has always been a challenge. Recent developments in digital technology have enabled hearing aid users to experience improved hearing in noise.

Clinical studies confirm that our newest digital hearing aids diminish background sounds up to twice that of ordinary digital aids. New "smart direction" technology actually senses when to reduce background noise for clearer understanding in noise.

In addition, "open ear" fitting technology is very comfortable and eliminates any sense of fullness in the ear. Together with Ohana's exclusive "Total Care" service plan and "no risk" 30-day free home trial, you have a combination that can't be beat.

Not just hearing aids

When you visit Ohana Hearing care, you will find a large variety of products that enable the hearing impaired. Ask for a demonstration of "TV Ears." This is great for crystal clear TV listening. It works great for all family members. Check out "Aquanots" ear protection for swimmers. Our custom "Soundblock" protectors are a must for anyone exposed to noise. Musicians, save your hearing with our "master blaster" protectors.
