Ringing ear program set for March 23‏ at CMMC

Lewiston, Maine - Central Maine Hearing Center audiologist David Jardine will host a presentation about tinnitus, a condition often referred to as “ringing in the ear,” at an event set for March 23 in Lewiston.

Jardine will discuss the common causes of tinnitus, an irritating and often debilitating condition that affects more than 50 million Americans. He will consider how the condition can impact someone’s health, and what treatment options are available. A question and answer session will follow his presentation.
