EAST LANSING, MI | Some things in life have easy solutions. Hungry? Eat. Tired? Sleep. Bored? Gosh, who could be bored?! Lose something? …Now that can be tougher. Any kind of loss can cause frustration, or regret, or pain. But some types of loss impact our lives profoundly--like the loss of a loved one, the loss of your health, or the loss of one of your senses-your hearing, for instance. With the holiday season approaching, why not do something about that loss? Consider it a holiday gift to yourself. Imagine hearing your children, grandchildren, or great grandchildren without constantly asking them to repeat something. Think about hearing the sounds of the holidays again—the oven timer when the cookies or turkey are done, the carolers at the door, TV specials, and don’t forget the wonderful sounds of holiday music! 2<9 :57G =F& <95E=A; ?BFF 75A 69 8=:,7H?G to face.

And we advertise these products with enthusiasm (like the new Invisible-In-the-Canal hearing aid with advanced noise reduction technology— very exciting!). But the fact is, the best
