WAUSAU — Ascension Medical Group Doctors of Audiology Heidi Grosskopf and Karen Teter will offer a free educational seminar on hearing loss and new hearing aid technology on Wednesday, May 23, in Merrill and on Thursday, May 24, in Rhinelander.
The Merrill program will be held from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at Ascension Medical Group at Merrill at 3430 E. Main St. The Rhinelander program will be held from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. in conference rooms 1 and 2 at Ascension Medical Group at Rhinelander, 2251 North Shore Drive, on the campus of Ascension St. Mary’s Hospital.
Each presentation will last roughly 20 minutes, with a question-and-answer session to follow. Light refreshments will be provided.
One in eight people in the United States 12 years of age or older has hearing loss in both ears, according to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders. Based on standard hearing examinations, that’s about 30 million people who could benefit from hearing aid technology.
Hearing aid evaluations are also available at Ascension Medical Group — a personalized interview to determine what will best meet individual needs — and one-on-one fittings to ensure comfort and confidence in programming and using hearing aids.
For more information, call Ascension Medical Group at 715-361-4560.
