LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–AuDNet, Inc.’s Preferred Provider Community member, Dr. Gregory Frazer, will spearhead a campaign to educate consumers about noise induced hearing loss (NIHL), while arming them with tools for prevention. The campaign will launch June 1, 2010 and will continue through Labor Day weekend.
The free hearing protection devices, provided in conjunction with AuDNet’s NowiHear.com and Oaktree Products, can be used during every day noisy activities such as mowing the lawn, using loud tools, and attending noisy events or concerts.
“Over 34.25 million Americans experience hearing loss and 26 million of these people will suffer form noise induced hearing loss, which is 100% preventable,” remarked Frazer, a partner and practicing audiologist at Pacific Eye & Ear Specialists in Los Angeles. “With this campaign, we hope to educate consumers about the steps that can be taken to prevent such ear injury.”
Added Kathy Foltner, chief executive officer of AuDNet, Inc.: “We are truly excited for this opportunity to partner with one of our members for this important educational campaign. It is efforts like this that bring the audiology community one step closer to consumer understanding and clarity about the fact that audiologists are THE hearing experts.”
In addition to the free hearing protection devices, consumers who visit Dr. Frazer during the campaign will also receive a one-page “how to prevent hearing loss” fact sheet with several simple steps for reducing the chances of future hearing loss.
