Intro to hearOclub – Avoiding ‘Hearing Emergencies’
May 22 @ 8:00 pm – 9:00 pm

What started as a mission to help the elder community has progressed to giving anyone with hearing aids or a cochlear implant the peace of mind that they will always have a consistent supply of fresh batteries delivered to their home. We will break down the health benefits of always having access to batteries, describe some of our members’ journeys and the barriers they faced before joining, and define what a ‘hearing emergency’ is and how you can avoid it.
