Welcome to SaferHearingNow.com

Introduction and Purpose

New technologies—like DIY hearing tests, Smartphone video otoscopes, and digital sound level meter apps—are expanding access to hearing healthcare, especially in overlooked communities. While convenient, these tools cannot replace professional expertise.

Safer Hearing Now, LLC, founded by a retired audiologist, bridges the gap between tech-savvy consumers of hearing healthcare products and qualified hearing professionals. The company's consultants provide evidence-based information to help individuals interpret test results, understand hearing health issues, and take proactive steps toward establishing better hearing wellness. Through expert support and practical tools, Safer Hearing Now promotes informed, personalized care.
