Though the program already offers free hearing exams and similar services for local musicians, the NOMC now also provides free ear plugs and drastically discounted hearing aids for those that qualify. Exams, plugs, molds and aids are among some of the key medical care services needed for musicians experiencing hearing loss. Patients of the NOMC may receive hearing aids for co-pays as low as $5.
The NOMC also offers other health care solutions and resources for other ailment and wellness needs not only for musicians, but for anyone occupied in the music or sound production fields, including disc jockeys, sound engineers, and sound production staff. To make an appointment or for more information, visit the clinic’s website at www.nomaf.org or call 504-412-1366.
