Advanced Hearing Center to "Think Pink"

"Think Pink"

This October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month will celebrate 25 years of making a positive difference for women and their families in communities around the world. Dr. Amy Sapodin and Dr. Alison Hoffmann, co-owners of Advanced Hearing Center, are proud to support this worthy cause in a way that will also make a positive difference for people with hearing loss in their community.

Dr. Sapodin and Dr. Hoffmann are among a select group of U.S. hearing care practitioners to offer the new Oticon “Think Pink,” a sleek, distinctly pink hearing device. During National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Advanced Hearing Center will participate in the national “Pink with a Purpose” campaign to help raise funds for breast cancer research. Throughout October Advanced Hearing Center, in union with leading hearing care manufacturer Oticon, will donate a portion of the proceeds from the sale of “Think Pink” and all other new hearing devices to the National Breast Cancer Coalition.

“Think Pink” takes much of the hard work out of organizing, selecting and following sounds so that people with hearing loss can stay engaged and active in everyday activities,” states Dr. Hoffmann. “With the addition of the Streamer, a sleek companion device that resembles an MP3 PLAYER, “Think Pink” connects wirelessly to TV’s, cell and landline phones and other popular communication devices.

This special edition “Think Pink” is available in a tiny, behind-the-ear device that is almost invisible on the ear. Dr. Sapodin notes that the Agil family of hearing instruments can accommodate approximately 80 percent of hearing losses.
