Hearing Services
Technology, savings, support. We’ve got you covered.
Hearing loss is more common than you may think – in fact, 48 million Americans have some degree of hearing loss. Hearing is also an important part of your overall health and well-being. Not only does it keep you connected to the people and activities you love, it helps preserve important connections in your brain that can help keep you sharp as you age. A hearing aid may help.
If you’ve noticed a change in your hearing, you’re not alone and there are ways to help regain many of the sounds you’ve been missing. EPIC Hearing Healthcare (EPIC) can help you save on hearing exams, hearing aids, and follow up care.
