Are You Hard

If you are hard of hearing either
you wear a Hearing Aid . . . j
thinking about it . . . wondering
il the ear Operation will do you
any gixxl . . . setting in a corner
getting hard of hearing by the
month and doing nothing about
it . . . or maybe you should do
something about
it but you can’t
stand the thought
of wearing that
tug thing hang-
ing on you like
you have seen on
other people ...
m a y b e you've
Mr, Rhye heard that they ||
cost too much.
Where do you fit in this picture?
If you wear a HEARING AID;
but you can't hear or understand!!
with it, chances are that your
hearing has changed or the Aid is
out of adjustment. By testing you
and your .Aid, the .Aid ear. be ad
justed to where you can hear as
good as you ever could. THINK-
ING ABOUT GETTING A NEW
ONE; A test will tell you if you
need one or if you can wear one.
So many people think they need
a Hearing Aid when other things
can be done for them to make
them hear THE EAR OPERA-
TION: A test will give you the
answer. DOING NOTHING,
ABOUT IT. The test cost you no-j|
thing and you are not obligated
m any way, so what is there to
lose 'except your hearing.' THEY
COST TOO MUCH They cost less
ttian a cup of coffee, a glass of
milk, or a soft drink a day.
