SERVICES

HEARING DEVICES

Using advanced hearing devices and state-of-the-art programming techniques results in our patients hearing better than ever before, even if they purchased their current hearing aids from somewhere else. In our most recent Outcome Reports, 96% of our patients wear their hearing aids over 12 hours a day, and 100% have said our hearing aids are “quite a lot worth it!” Working with all 7 worldwide hearing aid manufacturers allows us to always find the perfect fit for our patients within their budget.

HEARING EVALUATION

Do you ever wonder whether you hear as well as you used to? Hearing loss can affect people of all ages to varying degrees. If you find yourself asking people to repeat themselves often, it may be time to schedule a diagnostic hearing test. A baseline hearing test is recommended for all people by the age of 50 to monitor hearing changes over time.

REFIT OF EXISTING HEARING AIDS

Now Hear This® uses our unique Accufit® system that allows us to re-program your current hearing aids so they reach their full potential and provide maximum benefit to you even if you bought them somewhere else. Reprogramming of hearing aids is crucial for the maximum success of the aids and proper reprogramming could save you from having to purchase new technology.

REAL EAR MEASURES

Real Ear Measurements (REM) confirm that your hearing aids create the clearest and most comfortable sounds for you and your listening needs. It is one of the most crucial parts of a successful hearing aid fitting as it ensures the hearing aid programming matches the individual’s hearing prescription taking into account the patient’s specific ear canal volume. Now Hear This® is one of the few audiology practices in the Triangle that is committed to performing this critical test every time we fit a patient’s hearing aids. Without the preformance of this important test, which accounts for the unique acoustic “fingerprint” of your ear, the only other option is to use guesswork which does not benefit anyone.

TINNITUS TREATMENTS

Tinnitus is a common phenomenon where a person hears an unusual sound in either one or both ears. This sound is most frequently described as ringing but also may be described as buzzing, hissing, roaring, or chirping. Tinnitus affects approximately 50 million Americans. Although it is not bothersome for most and can easily be ignored, it can be debilitating for others as it can interfere with both home and career responsibilities. While there may not be a cure for Tinnitus, there are many ways to treat it so that the “noise” is more manageable. Now Hear This® employs a Tinnitus Management Audiologist who will meet with patients and take the time required to thoroughly understand what they are going through. They then can recommend the best individualized treatment plan so the patient can get back to living their best life.

COCHLEAR IMPLANT SERVICES

Patients with moderate to profound hearing loss who do not receive benefit from traditional hearing aids may be a candidate for a cochlear implant. A cochlear implant is a device that is surgically implanted into the cochlea (the inner ear organ) and delivers electrical stimulation directly to the auditory nerve. At Now Hear This®, we provide extensive counseling to patients who are considering a cochlear implant to help them make the best decision for their hearing health. Patients considering a cochlear implant need a cochlear implant evaluation performed by an audiologist and a medical evaluation by an ENT. We are expanding our practice to offer cochlear implant evaluations and programming in the near future. Stay up to date with our service offerings at www.NowHearThisClinic.com.

COMPASSION IN LAW

THE KURTZ & BLUM WAY

The legal world can often be a complicated place. Navigating it is a challenge. That’s why Kurtz & Blum works hard to provide peace of mind for their clients and a clear path forward.

“People come to Kurtz & Blum on their worst day. Whether their family is falling apart or they’ve been accused of a crime, we know what they’re going through. We have been here before and know the way out.” firm founder Seth Blum stated.

Focusing on both civil and criminal law, the firm has the expertise necessary to handle the complexities and depth of the cases they come across daily. Their civil law

practice covers family law matters such as child custody, child sup port, divorce agreements, spousal support, and property division. The firm’s criminal law division address es everything from serious felonies to misdemeanor and DWI cases. The firm also focuses on juvenile cases and sex offender registry removal. Their attorneys are com mitted to conducting thorough research and delivering top-notch legal insight.

Clients can expect a warm and welcoming experience, whether interacting with the team in person or over the phone. With trust, respect, integrity, and compassion as some of the firm’s core values, each client receives the highest level of legal service. The team takes

an empathetic approach, making sure they dedicate the attention and care every case deserves.

“The most rewarding part of the job for me is having a positive impact on our clients’ lives,” said criminal defense attorney Matt Minikus.

As a firm that deeply cares about the people they serve, Kurtz & Blum meets the needs of the underrepresentedSpanish-speaking community by offering a support team including bilingual legal coordinators.

“Kurtz & Blum provides more than just an attorney,” said bilingual civil attorney Rudy Benitez. “We provide our clients with a legal team that will help you with every step of the process and make sure that we seek to obtain the best results for you.”

For decades, the firm has been doing what is necessary to protect their clients’ interests. Whether it’s researching the law, negotiating with opposing counsel, or arguing the case in court, these zealous

prowess that ensures their clients get the strongest possible representation. Kurtz & Blum recognizes the significance of what’s on the line and they won’t shy away from getting the job done.

“The process can be long and frustrating. Our clients’ feelings are valid and we let them know we are in it together,” said family law attorney Jolie Brown.

A

LEGAL TEAM

THAT WILL HELP YOU WITH EVERY STEP OF

THE PROCESS

“Our firm always takes the time to listen to clients and make sure we get the best outcome possible,” said paralegal Debbie Matthews.

Guided by a genuine commitment to assisting those in need, the team treats each unique case with compassion and client-tailored focus. The firm operates collaboratively to address individual needs and ensure a personalized and attentive experience.

“As the office manager, I see firsthand the commitment of each team member and strive to communicate their dedication to our clients,” said Melissa Cunha.

Few and far between are restaurants that locals return to not just for their tasty food but for the camaraderie. Such is the case at Vivo Ristorante. The couple who own it care as much about their customers as they do about their spaghetti carbonara or penne in vodka sauce.

It’s a spot where one can get chicken, veal, shrimp, or eggplant done the way Gianni Cinelli’s nonna (grandma) used to make it. Fresh and simple. Gianni and his wife, Randi, don’t go in for over-the-top presentations with fern stalks or edible flowers. They are more concerned with making sure their classic dishes are infused with his Italian roots and their new American heritage.

The couple are delighted to have won the gold (first place) category for the Best Italian Restaurant by the people of Raleigh for the second consecutive year (they won silver in 2021 and didn’t even know it, said Gianni).

It was also voted the No. 1 Italian restaurant by Door Dash during the pandemic, and it’s pleased its reputation for good food continues to this day.

“It means so much to us to have the people choose us as their favorite Italian restaurant for Raleigh’s Best,” Gianni said. “We work hard to make everything fresh, and we know how to treat our food, our staff, and our customers right.”

It’s not difficult to see how careful the restaurant is with its preparation. It makes all recipes from scratch, and all its sauces are made to order, Gianni said. The spaghetti carbonara, for instance, is made fresh and has real pancetta in it, not bacon. There are no peas in it, and it tastes as wonderful as it looks. Its popularity is testament to its luscious flavor.

Despite this from-scratch belief and the time it takes to prepare meals the proper way, Vivo Ristorante is fast. The restaurant can have as many as 150 to 200 sauté pans being used in a day. That is more than three other restaurants combined, Gianni said, and it reinforces the Vivo Ristorante’s commitment to its customers.

“We want our clients to become lifelong friends, so if one has an allergy or wants light garlic in a certain dish.

“In another restaurant, this takes a long time. But not in ours. We are passionate about giving the customer what they want in a short amount of time. We’re faster. End of story. We treat people well. They are not just our customers; they are our friends.”

There are dishes too many to enumerate. Choose from among soups and salads including pasta fagioli soup and caprese salad, and entrees such as gnocchi bolognese, fettachine alfredo, and chicken or veal marsala as well as chicken francese with Prosciutto di Parma, fresh mozzarella, roasted red peppers and a sherry sauce.

Gianni is quick to add that his restaurant also serves pizza. Vivo Ristorante is pleased to serve the Cinelli’s Famous Grandma’s Mar gherita pizza, which is one of the restaurant’s most popular pies. It features a thin, olive oil crust, basil, a touch of gar lic, crushed-plum tomato sauce, and mozzarella with a hint of Pecori-

no cheese sprinkled on top. “Too much of anything ruins it,” Gianni adds.

Since 2013, the Cinelli family has been serving delicious food with a smile; the only way the family knows how to operate.

“We treat people and our food with care, and it shows,” Gianni said. “We’re a mom-and-pop restaurant (though I never realized I’d be pop!), and we don’t have a marketing group. Our food and service are our best advertisement. We make repeat friends out of customers, and that’s what keeps them coming back.”
