    Do you use hearing aids and still feel like you're Do you use hearing aids and still feel like you're missing out? Have you heard about Earlens? Unlike traditional hearing aids that just make sounds louder through a speaker, Earlens offers the world's only non-surgical lens to gently vibrate the eardrum. Only Earlens uses a tiny lens placed gently on your eardrum. The ear tip transmits high fidelity audio signals directly to the lens, gently vibrating your eardrum across the full frequency range. The result? Rich, natural sound. Southwest Ear, Nose and Throat Associates is happy to announce that we now carry this device in our office! Schedule a consultation with our audiologist today by calling (970) 385-7272 #earlens #southwesterncoloradoent #durangocolorado #hearingloss
