Agbell Idaho Chapter

Emily has bilateral hearing loss, central auditory processing disorder and central hearing loss. She is the 2023 recipient of bilateral Phonak Lumity 90-R hearing aids as a donation from Strickland Ear Clinic, Agbell Idaho Chapter and Phonak.

Thirty-eight million Americans report having some degree of hearing loss and still people do not have their hearing checked as part of an annual health visit or are ever referred for a hearing evaluation. Mild hearing loss doubles the risks of dementia and individuals with moderate and severe hearing loss are 3 and 5 times more likely to develop dementia.

The Strickland Ear clinic can help find a treatment that addresses your condition in a way that works for you!! We believe good hearing connects us to each other!!

You DON’T Sign? - 2021 Easterseals Disability Film Challenge Entry “You DON’T Sign” aims to broaden the public’s perception of a deaf person to include oral deaf individuals.

Each year AGBELL Idaho Chapter, Strickland Ear Clinic and Phonak donate one set of hearing aids and services to an individual that needs help with their hearing, an adult or a child. This past year in 2020 Jasmine was selected as the recipient. She has a history of an IEP when she was in grade school and has not been able to finish her cosmetology exams/degree because of hearing and processing issues as an adult. Her two boys also have been diagnosed the CAPD and use amplification at school. She reported dizziness and anxiety especially when she is driving and has to pull off the road and her husband has to come and get her. Since being fit with the Phonak Marvel 90-R hearing aids she has less anxiety and is not dizzy. She wears the devices at all waking hours and is also receiving vision therapy as well. Jasmine is grateful for the donation and can't image life without the devices now. AGBELL Idaho Chapter, Strickland Ear Clinic and Phonak are helping kids in Idaho hear and use spoken language to learn and grow!!!
