As spring and summer arrive, beautiful sounds surround us again — birds singing, water splashing on the lake, crowds cheering at baseball games, burgers sizzling on the grill. 
How appropriate that May is Better Hearing Month. It’s the perfect time to reflect on your hearing health and take steps to improve your hearing if you are missing those wonderful seasonal sounds. 
When our patients are treated for hearing loss, we find that their only regret is that they did not see us sooner. 
I’d like to share the top five benefits our patients recognize when they come through our doors at Central Maine Hearing Center, and why they feel confident recommending us to their friends and family.  
1. You are covered. Central Maine Hearing Center is the preferred provider of most insurance plans. Comprehensive, accurate diagnostic testing completed in a state-of-the-art facility is a covered benefit. Patients pay no or very little out of pocket for testing by a doctor of audiology.    
2. You receive the hearing aid that is perfectly right for you. We carry all major brands of hearing aids. We also conduct extensive validation studies on each hearing aid to make sure it is programmed to provide optimal performance. For us, close is not good enough. Our patients’ hearing aids are precisely programmed for their individual hearing loss and unique needs.
3. You have access to cutting edge technology in hearing health. As a leader in hearing healthcare, Central Maine Hearing Center offers patients extended wear hearing aids and non-surgically implanted devices for deafened adults.
4. You gain peace of mind by receiving the best, most coordinated care possible. Our team has extensive training in hearing sciences and technology and more than 50 years of combined clinical experience. We are also associated with a major medical center and can seamlessly coordinate care with other providers, provide preventative care to maintain good hearing, and help identify risk factors for future hearing loss. 
5. You can afford to hear better. We offer zero interest payment plans for hearing aids and accessories. We help most people get the hearing aids they need at prices they can afford. Furthermore, all patients receive a comprehensive service plan on our hearing aids, which includes batteries, service, free technology upgrades and insurance for loss or damage.  
You have options when it comes to choosing a hearing health care provider. At Central Maine Hearing Center, we feel patients deserve better — quality care, excellent value and commitment to long-term satisfaction.
Summer is nearly here. If you have hearing loss, don’t let another season get away. Call 786-9949 to schedule an appointment and hear the sounds of the season in high definition.
