Are you exposed to loud noise regularly? If so, you should be wearing custom hearing protection. Noise induced hearing loss in irreversible, therefore it is crucial to protect the hearing you have.

The doctors at Alexandria Hearing Centers are able to fit patients with custom hearing protection.

If you are exposed to loud noise often, attend loud concerts, and/or are in a career where you are at risk for noise induced hearing loss, call Alexandria Hearing Centers to schedule an appointment for custom hearing protection.
