Tony Napoletano has been helping clients for years in eastern DELCO and Philadelphia feel like they are not likely to fall. Also, they have a better sense of themselves in space (balance) and will feel safer as they become more aware of objects around them. Now Devon Hearing, is offering his expertise and these solutions to clients in the Mainline of Philadelphia.
Much is written about physical therapy to address balance. Most people do not realize that “Hearing Loss” is responsible for many balance issues. Sounds and sight work together to provide spatial awareness of objects in a room. Tony Napoletano is providing solutions with proper hearing assessments, fitting of revolutionary hearing devices, and on-going support.
Tony Napoletano expressed his satisfaction with the performance of selected hearing aids: “We can now offer a solution to improve the spatial awareness of a client using a walker. This increases their confidence to walk without bumping into objects and all of this is done for a reasonable price!”
A USNews.com study1 showed that hearing loss is tied to 3-fold higher incidence of injury causing falls. Utilization of properly selected and fitted hearing aids immediately increases a person’s ability to walk more confidently.
A study by Dr. Lin at Johns Hopkins2 states that another reason hearing loss might increase the risk of falls is cognitive load, in which the brain is overworked with demands on its limited resources. Gait and balance are then sacrificed when someone has a hearing loss.
Devon Hearing is happy to offer solutions to restore proper hearing levels. This will eliminate excess cognitive loads and gives more energy and awareness for those in walkers to move safely.

Having Tony come to where I live was a great experience! He brings all of the equipment necessary for a comprehensive hearing test. He shows you the proper way to clean your ears and is very patient with his explanations. Upon receiving hearing aids Tony makes sure you understand exactly how to use and take care of them. I may not hear like a 21 year old (maybe a 30 year old), but it is wonderful to be able to converse with people and understand what they are saying.

It was a great experience with Tony. I can hear again and it’s been a long time since that happened. To show me how well they worked, Tony walked me outside to the sidewalk. The trucks and buses were whizzing by. Needless to say it was very loud. Tony stood me next to a sign and walked down to a tree, about a room distance away. He began to speak. asking questions. Unbelievably, I heard every word he said. Then he took the time to explain everything to me, instructed me on ear care, and had me do everything myself so I could learn and be confident with the new hearing aids. It was a pleasure working with him!
