Profiles, Thursday, June 26, 2014 3 Constantine Karolidis of Halton Audiometric Centre has been helping people hear for more than 20 years. As a hearing instrument specialist registered with the Ontario Ministry of Health, and a member of the International Hearing Society, Constantine is able to perform hearing assessments and dispense a wide variety of hearing aids and assistive listening devices. "Communication is critical in life. Jobs, relationships and social interactions are all more rewarding when we can confidently communicate -- Canadian adults struggle with hearing loss, a figure that climbs to 1 in 3 for people over 65. The good news is, with today's modern advancements in hearing aid technology, there is no reason to 'just put up' with hearing loss anymore." Born and raised in Georgetown, Constantine says "Helping people with their hearing is my passion and I'm very fortunate to be able to practice in a town that I love. It's very rewarding to have clients tell me the extensive positive impact our hearing aids have had on their lives." If you or someone you know has difficulty hearing, or if you already have hearing aids and want to ensure you are receiving the most benefit you can from them, Halton Audiometric Centre invites you to call them for your complimentary assessment today.
