The staff at Shohet Ear Associates takes its dedication to hearing and ear health very seriously. And because of that simple fact, our physicians and audiologists have been taking our knowledge and educational materials out in the community at a variety of venues. Starting last August, we began visiting local employers as part of the Health Expos they offer to their employees. So far, we have visited Pimco, the Huntington Beach Unified School District, Edison Energy, MDA Information Systems and Corelogic. We will also be visiting the Segerstrom Center for the Arts, and Mindspeed Technologies. At each event, we check participants’ ears for any abnormalities or infections via an otoscope and provide hearing health information. Many of these employees are enjoying get a look at their inner ears—via a monitor hooked up to the otoscope—for the very first time!
Most recently, Dr. Joni Doherty and I had the opportunity to speak on the physicians’ panel at the Hearing Health Seminar sponsored by Cochlear Americas. Over 150 people attended the event, which focused on those people with the most serious degrees of hearing impairment.
We look forward to many more events and meeting members of our local communities. If we come to your place of employment, please say “hello.” And if you would like a speaker or a visit from one of our hearing professionals at your worksite, please send us a request by filling out the “Contact Us” form on our website.
