"Due to nature of this business it is not possible to practice social distancing. Hearing testing, video otoscopy, hearing aid fittings and programming, ear impressions and teaching clients how to put the aids in and out requires 60-90 minutes for an appointment. Providers are less than an arms length away, sometimes inches and are serving the most vulnerable population with the median age being 65+ years old. This company has multiple locations with extended hours that include weekends at their Tacoma and Gig Harbor locations. I have worked in this field for more than 12 years and currently work for HearUSA. Our offices in Washington and Oregon and in 32 other states have all been closed since Friday, March 27th at 5:00 PM." - Rochelle R. Gregoire
