We at Salem Audiology Clinic believe that education is one of the key elements for success with hearing-related problems. Therefore, we offer free classes to our patients on how to achieve their success.

• Class #1: Hear for Life! (120 minutes)
  This class reviews how hearing loss occurs, it's potential impact on your life, solutions for correcting the problem, how to get the most out of your hearing aids and other technological solutions, and finally, communication strategies such as speech-reading and auditory training for maximizing your potential.
• Class #2: Coping with Tinnitus! (60-90 minutes)
  Tinnitus is one of the most debilitating hearing-related disorders affecting Americans today. It is estimated that nearly 50 million Americans suffer from this problem, and yet when we ask our physicians what we can do, the answer is often "learn to live with it." Yet they don't tell us how. This class reviews the potential causes of the problem, its effects, and recommendations for ways you can learn to live with it.
• Class #3: How to Buy a Hearing Aid (60-90 minutes)
  With so much advertising from hearing healthcare providers like audiologists, ear nose and throat physicians, and hearing instrument specialists, how can a consumer sift through all the promises to find the right solution? Answer: Education. This class reviews what every consumer should know prior to purchasing a hearing aid and lays out an objective plan for achieving success. It covers consumer rights information, medical considerations, technological questions, and expectations for hearing healthcare providers in an unbiased manner so that the consumer, regardless of where you go, can make and informed decision.
