HEARING TESTS
ARE IMPORTANT
If you have a hearing problem
of any kind you owe it to
yourself to have an Electronic
Hearing test made to find why,
and what can be done to help
•you before it is too late. The
tests are free and will only take
about 20 minutes of your time.
We check your ears for packed
wax, the tubes that let your ears
breathe, then with the machine
we check your hearing nerve,
(bone reading) air conduction,
(outside sounds) then measure
how much sound the ear will
take. We can pin point your
problem and explain in plain
English what can be done to
help you, then you make your
own decision. We never try ta
high-pressure you into buying
anything. There are thousands
of people today suffering from
hard-of-hearingness, (even
some that wear Hearing Aids),
just because they waited too late
to do something about it . . .
don’t let this happen to you.
Mr. Joe Treadway will hold
his regular Hearing Aid Work-
shop- at the Central Motel in
Dublin Tuesday, Feb. 10, from
1:30 p.m. to 3 p.m.
We invite you to come in for
your free test.

when you need us. We are in the

Thursday, and in the Hamilton
