We hope everyone is safe after this horrific storm! We know that there are a lot of you who have sustained significant damage in the storm, and we want to offer our HELP to those in need! Our offices are now open at all three locations, and we are here to offer assistance in the following ways:
HELP with your hearing aids!
If you wear hearing aids, please schedule an appointment to have your hearing instrument serviced as quickly as possible. Heat, humidity and lack of power can take their toll on electronic devices such as hearing aids! Many people wear the popular “receiver-in-canal” models of devices that sit behind the ears and are, therefore, subject to a lot of sweat from the hairline. We have dehumidifying chambers at each location that will extract all excess moisture from every nook and cranny of your devices. We will also give them a thorough cleaning and 10-point Maintenance Check. Again, this is not limited to people who purchased their devices from us, so tell any friends you have whose primary provider is out of the area or temporarily closed, that we will help them out during the aftermath of the storm! We will do an updated hearing test at NO CHARGE for anyone who is new to our Practice and give a dated copy for personal medical records! All we ask in return is if you have a favorable experience with our clinicians that you tell your friends about our Practice!
HELP with low priced hearing solutions!
We have been running an “End of Summer Clearance Sale” on products from virtually every manufacturer at dramatic discounts up to 70% OFF our normal prices throughout the month of September. We will now be giving an additional 15% DISCOUNT due to the economic hardship of residents of Southwest Florida. You can receive excellent technology starting at $295 per device, with a one year interest free payment plan available.
HELP if your ears need cleaning!
We will clean your ears for you! Personal hygiene is always harder when people have no power or running water. If you feel that due to the heat, sweat, and humidity you may need your ears cleaned, please come to our facility. We will check your ears with a fiber-optic camera that displays an image on a big flat screen TV for you to be sure you are OK! Most wax can be cleaned in our office at NO CHARGE, but we are also reducing the cost of our ear wash kits by 50% until October 31st!
HELP with your Tinnitus!
If you suffer with Tinnitus (“Ringing Ears”) and the condition seems much worse since the hurricane hit, you are not alone! Stress fuels Tinnitus … and then Tinnitus increases the stress even more, creating a vicious circle that is difficult to manage. We have been voted Southwest Florida’s BEST Tinnitus Clinic for
the past two years, and we have a great deal of experience with the condition. Please contact us for a FREE consultation and guidance by calling (239) 208-6827 or writing to Dr. Lynette Dornton directly via email at Lynette@HoglundFamilyHearing.com. WE CARE! You do not have to go through this episode alone!
HELP with a hot meal in a cool restaurant!
FREE MEALS for those in need! We have a strong partnership with Perkins Restaurants where we hold our popular “Lunch and Learn” seminars. We have pledged that the next 50 people who are tested in any of our Southwest Florida locations will receive a gift certificate for a FREE meal at Perkins. Use it yourself, pass it along to a friend or loved one in need, or donate it to your favorite church or charity. The choice is up to you! Everyone knows someone who was hurt by this tragic storm, and if a hot meal in a cool restaurant gives them a little break from their stress, we are glad to help! (Limit two per family, so have your spouse tested as well!)
We hope you view our clinics as a welcoming oasis for those in distress! Southwest Florida has been very good to us throughout the years, and we want to help the community any way we can during troubled times! Please know our prayers are with you for a return to a more normal lifestyle. If there’s anything else Patricia or I can do to help, write to me personally at johnhoglund2@aol.com.
HELP for those who lost their
hearing aids in the storm!
If you know of someone who lost their hearing aids during the storm, please get in touch with us immediately! Our favorite manufacturer Starkey Hearing Technologies has a plan to provide replacement hearing aids for all of those in need. Contact us by phone (239) 494-8651 or send an email to madeline@hoglundfamilyhearing.com with your name and contact information of the person who lost their devices. I want to stress this is not only for our Patient base, but anyone who has been impacted by Hurricane Irma. If they live in another part of the state, we will attempt to find someone who will help them as well!
