Secondsensehearing.com Launches with Expert Advice on Hearing Loss and Hearing Device Options

Online, March 18, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Hearing health website helps improve the quality of life
for anyone affected by hearing problems

Only one out of four people who would benefit from a hearing device wears one, and those who do get one typically wait eight years after recognizing hearing loss until they take action.

Those are startling statistics that the new Second Sense Hearing Solutions website hopes to improve. Geared towards the hearing-impaired, as well as family/friend caregivers who want to improve the quality of life for their loved ones, it offers essential information about causes and types of hearing loss and breakthrough hearing devices available today.

"Hearing problems effect people of all ages, especially families and friends of loved ones," says American Hearing Aid Associates (AHAA) President Tina Soika. "We created the site with a fresh look and unbiased information about hearing loss and solutions to guide consumers, caregivers and experienced users on how to identify hearing issues, get tested and find the best hearing device."

Most important, visitors can access a large database of certified audiologists to find a specialist in their area. Secondsensehearing.com is made possible by American Hearing Aid Associates, representing over 90% of hearing aid manufacturers and the largest network of independent audiologists in the U.S.
