What if the biggest opportunity for your optometry practice isn’t just in what your patients see—but in what they hear? In this episode, Dr. Trevor Miranda sits down with his brother, Dr. Terence Miranda, to explore the synergies between optometry and audiology. They dive into why integrating hearing care into your clinic is a game-changer, how to make it work financially, and the surprising ways vision and hearing impact each other.
