COVID-19 Precautions

We are taking precautions to help minimize the spread of Coronavirus. As of May 18, 2020, we are resuming limited office visits, by appointment only, and are also scheduling virtual visits. Please call the office for scheduling options. 

There is no higher priority for Worth Hearing Center than the health and well-being of our patients and employees. We are closely following guidance on COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019) from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and to stay on top of all developments. We fully recognize that many of the population we serve are among the most vulnerable to diseases like COVID-19 and the flu.

In accordance with interim guidance from the CDC, we are also taking the following additional measures to further strengthen our protocols and safeguard our patients’ health: 

• If you are feeling under the weather or are experiencing a fever, cough, or shortness of breath, we would ask that you call and reschedule your appointment so as not to put other patients at risk.  We recommend reviewing guidelines from the CDC on preventing illness.
• Dropping in can create a crowd in our waiting rooms.  Therefore, we are offering car-side service for hearing aid problems and clean and checks.   Please call our office 505-872-4327 to arrange for someone to come to your vehicle.
• Consider rescheduling non-essential appointments
• We have instructed providers and staff to stay home if they are sick. If your provider becomes ill, we will ask them to stay home, and we sincerely apologize if this means we need to reschedule your appointment!
• We are sanitizing surfaces in between appointments. 
• If you need additional accommodations, please don’t hesitate to call our office to discuss.

We understand the importance of hearing at your best, especially in this time, when communication is so critical. If there are any updates, we will post on our website and social media.

If you are having problems with your hearing aids and feel you cannot come in right away, please call and we’ll see whether we can help you over the phone. Please feel free to call with any questions — we are always happy to hear from our patients.
