Free Seminars
FREE EDUCATIONAL SEMINARS ABOUT HEARING LOSS, RINGING EAR AND HEARING AIDS
Hoglund Family Hearing and Audiology and Southwest Florida Tinnitus and Hearing strive to be the hearing educational resource for residents in Southwest Florida. One of the ways we accomplish this goal is by holding regular hearing seminars. We can accommodate up to 30 people at each Lunch and Learn Seminar at your local Perkins Restaurants. At these seminars you can learn the truth about hearing loss, hearing aids and tinnitus (ringing ears). No hearing aids will be sold during this program. If you or a loved one experience symptoms of hearing loss, ringing ears or currently wear hearing aids, then don’t miss this exciting, free opportunity!
“Hearing is one aspect of health that most people don’t know nearly as much as they’d like to know,” says John Hoglund. “When a group of people get together and they are discussing health issues and someone throws out their blood pressure readings, everyone understands. When the topic of hearing comes up, you get a lot of glassy stares. We created these lectures series to get through some of the questions about hearing loss in general, branch into the types of hearing aids and their components and also discuss tinnitus, the ringing in the ears.”

Featured Speaker
Denise A. Pancyrz, acclaimed author, lecturer, and Diabetes Coach, will share how Diabetes has personally affected her health. She will share methods and strategies that she has personally used to “Reverse her Diabetes,” and she will offer insights on how she has helped others to improve their quality of life through holistic lifestyle changes and proper nutrition. You will learn how Diabetes affects your circulation, and how your hearing, your cognitive health and memory can be affected by this condition. If you or any of your loved ones have been diagnosed as Diabetic or “PreDiabetic,” you owe it to yourself to learn how Denise has succeeded in reducing her dependency on pharmaceuticals and dramatically improved her quality of life! Attendees will have an opportunity to win a copy of her fascinating book, The Virgin Diabetic, at each of the Seminars!
