Tornado warning “heard loud and clear”….By Dr. Richard Reikowski, Au.D Family Hearing and Balance Center

I heard through my new digital hearing aids the “Tornado Warning” directly streamed to my hearing aids. Wow, this was wonderful!!!

Before, this man would have had to hear the message from his phone with a beep or text vibration, while traveling, and this made it challenging and almost impossible at best. This is a real life saving benefit, to hear the messages from my smart phone, he said.  It’s as easy as you can imagine. Truly remarkable!

It is a true joy to bring new advanced in hearing devices to people’s lives. A real pleasure to have the confidence placed in us by others. We all need to hear the emergency system alerts and messages.

    The way that hearing devices are advancing so quickly is astonishing and it is nice to know that hearing devices can even help in a weather emergency!
