Phoenix, AZ –May 5, 2014 Zounds Hearing, Inc., the fastest-growing hearing aid company in the country, celebrates National Better Hearing Month in May with their franchise locations from coast to coast.
More than 36 million American adults suffer from some degree of hearing loss and an additional 12 million have hearing loss as a result of prolonged exposure to noise. Sam Thomasson, founder of Zounds Hearing Inc., has firsthand experience with the frustrations of hearing loss as his daughter, Kate, has been hearing impaired since early childhood.
“Hearing loss had become an epidemic in our country,” said Thomasson, “and the effects of untreated hearing loss can be devastating. Early onset of dementia, increased risk of hypertension, heart disease and stroke are just a few of the health issues that can arise as a result of hearing loss. We celebrate National Better Hearing Month to not only keep the public informed, but to also promote the importance of prevention and treatment.” During the month of May, Zounds franchisees in over 33 states will be distributing information on hearing loss prevention as well as and offer free hearing screenings in their stores.
Zounds Hearing Inc., has been committed to promoting better hearing by providing hearing aids to those who would otherwise not be able to afford them. In a partnership with the Lion’s Foundation, Zounds has donated over $800,000 in new hearing aids across the nation.“Giving to and serving others is a privilege,” said Kyle Kennedy, President of Zounds Hearing, “and to see the faces of those who received our hearing aids lighten up once they could hear was a tremendous experience. Zounds intends to continue this partnership with the Lions Foundation on an ongoing basis.”
