Amplifon S.p.A. (“Amplifon” or the “Company”; MTA; Bloomberg ticker:
MIL:AMP.MI), global leader in hearing health care solutions and
services, encourages all Americans to schedule a hearing check during
the month of May, recognized as Better Hearing and Speech Month by the
Hearing Industries Association (HIA).
This May, the HIA’s “Preserve Your Passion” campaign seeks to make
hearing wellness checks as routine as annual exams for vision or dental.
It goes beyond awareness. It’s about encouraging action, something
Amplifon Americas is especially passionate about.
Each year, millions of Americans with hearing loss go untreated.
Substantial research and anecdotal data show that untreated hearing loss
is linked to numerous physical and mental conditions, as well as
quality-of-life issues.
Amplifon Americas Executive Vice President, Marc C. Lundeberg, who was
recently appointed to the board of the HIA, says “good hearing
empowers an active and healthy life, increasing social engagement,
improving communication, and lowering the risk of isolation.”
Lundeberg looks forward to continuing to help shape the dialogue about
hearing health care as the newest board member of HIA and has this
message for all, “Keep your genius unleashed, control your destiny,
and stay vital! Get your hearing checked!” To check your hearing,
visit your local hearing healthcare professional.
In addition to getting a hearing check, there are many ways to support
Better Hearing and Speech Month. Encourage those around you to get a
hearing test, spread awareness of hearing health among your network, and
become an advocate by visiting www.hearwellstayvital.org.
