Plus, our own ability to compensate and adjust to gradual hearing changes makes hearing loss difficult to recognize. Why guess? Experts encourage people as young as 45 to have a baseline hearing screening. Catching and treating hearing loss early can slow it down or stop it.

Youll preserve more good hearing for life. QBeltone fnnwlMlSte PROFESSIONAL TWIN FALLS 734-2900 MO 260 Falls Ave Suite A a.
