FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Scottsdale, Ariz. - January 20, 2007 - Audiology & Hearing Aid Center (AHAC) announces the expansion of their practice and services to the north Scottsdale - Thompson Peak area beginning on February 5th.

Cathy Kurth, owner of AHAC since 1981, has offered people with hearing health issues throughout the Valley, the best hearing options technology has to offer along with exceptional follow up care. Knowing that her patient base drives from the North Valley to either her 91st and Mountain View office or her Civic Center Plaza office in Scottsdale, she felt it was time to expand to the Thompson Peak area for patient convenience.

"Knowing that our patient base doesn't like to drive far, it was time to expand to a 4th location to give our patients more options," according to Kurth. "As the Baby Boomer generation becomes 'of age' and needs more options in the hearing aid arena, we wanted to spread the word that we offer the finest technology available with many style and price choices to fit their needs. Expanding to this new office will reach more of this group in need."

AHAC also offers free monthly educational seminars to the community to educate all age groups on how to achieve better hearing, how to obtain hearing protection to prevent noise-induced hearing loss or to determine the cause and find treatment for a balance or dizziness problem. According to Kurth, "Staying on top of the latest technology in the hearing aid arena is a focus that our patients expect. We are among the first to offer the most current technology available and are proud to say we do!"

The new office is located at 20201 N. Scottsdale Healthcare Drive, Suite 230, Scottsdale, 85255 and can be reached at 480-515-0200.

Audiology & Hearing Aid Center's other locations are 3271 N. Civic Center Plaza, Suite 4, and 9777 North 91st Street, Suite 101, in Scottsdale, and 5040 N. 15th Avenue, Suite 408 in Phoenix.
