1. New Zounds Hearing Center Opens in Canton, Ohio
CANTON, OH –February 25, 2014 Zounds Hearing, the fastest growing hearing aid franchise in the US,
announces the opening of a new Zounds Hearing Center at their location in the Belden Village Commons
Shopping Center at 4822 Everhard Rd NW, Canton, OH 44718.
Frank and Mary Graziano, long time residents of Ohio, understand the problems facing the hearing impaired
very well, as Frank Graziano’s father, a career military vet, suffers from hearing loss. The Grazianos made the
decision to become franchise owners once they met Sam Thomasson, founder and CEO of Zounds Hearing.
Thomasson’s quest to create the best hearing aid on the market was born out of a desire to help his hearing
impaired daughter, and the Grazianos wanted to be a part of that journey. “Our goal was to find a company
that had the values, the heart, and state of the art technology to truly change people’s lives,” says Graziano,
“and when we found Zounds, we knew it was the right fit.”
Thomasson has personal experience with the frustrations of using hearing aids that don’t work properly. “My
daughter struggled to understand and vocalize speech,” said Thomasson. “Hearing in noisy environments like a
restaurant or car was especially difficult and her hearing aids would frequently squeal, causing her pain. As an
electrical engineer, I knew that if she was to have the kind of life she deserved, I had to do something about
it.” Zounds Hearing is the culmination of years of effort.
Much of Zounds’ success has been attributed to its ability to eliminate up to 90% of background noise. “Being
able to hear in social situations, such as a family gathering or dining out has made such a difference in terms of
quality of life for Kate and our many customers,” says Sam Thomasson. “Our customers tell us the
combination of noise reduction, our rechargeable battery station, as well as our competitive pricing make us
their first choice for hearing aid.”
The new Zounds Hearing Center in Canton is open Monday through Friday from 9 am to 5 pm and offers free
hearing tests, fittings and consultations and a variety of Zounds Hearing Aids to customers by appointment.
