Hearing Economics

Hallowe’en again, a year after Hearing Economics uncovered the under-served but growing zombie population.  For a while it seemed as though it was all for nothing, what with the world scheduled to end on 12/21/12 as part of a zombie apocalypse.  That didn’t happen, which is a good thing for Audiologists and hearing aid sales.  Also for Zombies, who/which had
