Spring is in the air and summer is right around the corner! It is the time to start planting flowers, veggies and fruit. Planting and digging in your garden requires you to be on the ground and mostly on your knees. Simply using a knee cushion will help take the hard tension off your knees and legs and keep the strain off your back. Always try to take breaks and stand up to give your back a stretch. This will straighten up your spine and prevent your body from being sore and tight the next day. Most importantly, enjoy the sun!

When hearing loss is suspected, a hearing test with a diagnostic audiometer is recommended. The diagnostic hearing test is used to verify a hearing loss, determine the extent, the type and the cause of the hearing loss. If hearing aids are required, a hearing healthcare practitioner will program and fit your hearing aids to necessary audiological requirements as well as comfort and tolerance levels. Digital technology and user available adjustment features allow for a customized hearing experience for every listening situation. All diagnostic and audiological equipment needed to test hearing, prescribe and program hearing aids comes to you in a fully customized Sprinter Van. Book an appointment today.
