As North Carolina’s most trusted hearing & audiology professionals, Aim Hearing and Audiology Services are taking preventative measures to ensure that patients’ health and welfare are the number one priority during the challenges presented by COVID-19.
While closely monitoring the CDC’s recommendations, a four-step plan has been developed to ensure your safety.
Current face mask requirements: The CDC currently states that face masks are required in several healthcare settings, so we kindly ask all patients and visitors to wear a mask for the duration of their visit to Aim Audiology & Hearing Services.
To stay up to date with the latest CDC government guidelines in your county, please use the CDC tool below.
#1 – Please Ensure You’re In Good Health
In the same way that our teams’ health is being monitored daily through temperature checks and routine hand sanitation, you are kindly asked to reschedule your appointment if you have had a fever or cough or have traveled out of the country during the past two weeks.
Free COVID-19 Tests
If you need to get your hands on a test, you are eligible to order four free at-home tests from https://www.covidtests.gov/ – simply enter your address details, and one will be on its way. Shipping charges do not apply.
#2 – Hand Sanitizer On Arrival
All patients must use the provided hand sanitizer as soon as they enter the office.
#3 – Thorough Cleaning Between Appointments
Additional time has been scheduled to thoroughly clean all surfaces between appointments and ensure each patient enters a sterile environment.
#4 – Purified Air
Since the virus outbreak, my team and I have continually developed new ways to ensure we create the safest environment for you, other patients, and our staff.
At Aim Hearing And Audiology Services, we now have a total of seven air purifiers throughout the office to ensure we not only follow the CDC government guidelines but go above and beyond.
