My parents got tested...so should you!


My parents came to visit me at the office. Mom thought dad was missing some words and dad said mom needed her ears cleaned! Well, turns out that mom has normal hearing and dad has some mild high frequency hearing loss. Neither of them had wax!

Both of them were concerned that the other wasn't hearing well and they needed to have a hearing test to end that age old argument...are you ignoring me????

I hope that you come in and get your hearing tested. Lets remove all doubt about what you are and aren't hearing!

Williams Sound is going to offer their products at a discounted rate for veterans, both active and retired. Read the info below and follow the link for more information! --Dr. McDonald

Williams Sound Introduces Reduced-Cost ALD Program For Veterans

Eden Prairie, Minn — Williams Sound, a global manufacturer of wireless listening technology, has announced that it has teamed with the Military Audiology Association (MAA) to offer the Retiree Assistive Listening Device (RALD) program to retired and active-duty military service members and their families. The RALD program was created to provide these honored individuals access to assistive listening devices (ALDs) at a reduced cost, along with free personalized telephone support.

ALDs from Williams Sound are devices designed to help individuals with hearing difficulties hear more clearly in a wide array of social situations, whether those needs are specific to listening on the phone, to a television, in a group setting or during one-on-one conversations. An ALD is designed to pick up sounds from the sound source and bring it directly to the listener’s ear, without the distraction of background noise.
