You may need a hearing test if you ask people to repeat themselves, turn up the TV, or struggle to hear in noise. A hearing exam can detect early hearing loss. Hearing tests are quick and painless.

Over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids can be a great option—but they’re designed only for mild to moderate hearing loss. If you find yourself constantly asking people to repeat themselves, turning up the TV louder than others prefer, or struggling in group conversations, you may need more than OTC devices can provide.

A professional hearing test is the best way to know where your hearing stands. Don’t guess—schedule your hearing test today at 727-378-4383 and get the right solution for your needs.

Our Chief Cuddle Officer was at the office today rocking her new uniform!

Chloe began coming to the office a few years ago out of medical necessity when she needed medication every few hours. Once she was better and didn’t need to come in anymore the patients who got used to seeing her became very upset with her absence. Because of that, we decided to bring her in once a week - she even takes her own appointments! Some patients even have special “Chloe” tags in their charts so we know who looks forward to a cuddle from the Chief Cuddle Officer.

Our CCO is a 13 year old miniature Australian Shepherd and even has her own bio on our website. To learn more about Chloe head to www.FLAudiologyAssociates.com and click “Meet Our Team”

Are you struggling to hear soft voices or whispers is often an early sign of hearing loss—and your brain works harder to fill in the gaps. Hearing aids make it easier to enjoy conversations, reduce cognitive strain, and keep your brain active.

Just like glasses help you see clearly, hearing aids help you hear clearly.
