“Our goal is to educate as many people as possible,” explains Aronson. “Including the physicians that we go around and talk to just so they keep up on the latest.”
Aronson also shared a story about a friend of hers who knew something was wrong with her hearing, but wasn’t sure what it was.

“She was having trouble hearing out of one ear,” recounts Aronson. “It turned out she had an acoustic tumor. It’s on the acoustic nerve, which is in your brain stem. It turned out to be benign, most of them are benign but if it didn’t, it could’ve gone into other areas and affected other things.”
Hearing aids are not what they used to be, according to Aronson. She says that in the past when you had a hearing aid, the noise would overpower the speech.
“Now with the new technology you can actually understand speech in noise. It doesn’t necessarily take away noise, that’s a misconception that people have,” Aronson explains. “It’s not going to reduce the noise, it’s going to enhance the speech. And the speech is much more clear and more natural sounding.”
Last year Advanced Audiology was able to provide over 1,000 free hearing tests throughout the community. This year, Aronson’s goal is 1,500 free hearing tests by the end of the year, and they have currently given around 1,000.
“Come on everybody, you’ve got to come help us make our goal so that we know that we’re helping our community with their hearing,” concluded Aronson. “You don’t necessarily have to think you have a hearing problem, just come on in and we’ll tell you that you don’t have a hearing problem.”
