COVID-19 Safety Precautions

Our continuing approach to COVID-19 Health & Safety.

As some states and communities begin lifting COVID restrictions, we want to reiterate our approach and be clear that Acoustic Hearing Center is not relaxing or eliminating any of our COVID-19 safety practices.

The health and safety of our employees and patients is always our priority. We will continue to closely follow guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the local Public Health Agencies. Based on current guidance, our office currently:

• Requires and provides face masks to be worn by employees and patients
• Limits the number of patients to promote social distancing
• Conducts daily health screenings for all employees
• Cleans and sanitizes throughout the main office and patient areas. The examination and testing rooms, labs, and employee offices and staff areas, multiple times a day
• Offers contactless and/or curbside services

We will continue to follow direction from the CDC and won’t be making any changes until their guidance indicates it’s safe to do so. You can always call and speak to our helpful staff if you have further questions.

We fully support health authorities in minimizing the spread of coronavirus and are following the local authority guidelines. We also abide by the standards set forth by

The CDC

These guidelines will be updated as necessary.

THE OFFICE
