To the undecided or apprehensive – don’t be.
Early last year I was finally realising that maybe I was getting slightly hard of hearing when I spoke to a friend.
He had recently decided to do something himself, and said “don’t put it off, it will only make it harder to correct”. He then said go and see Hearing Sense and ask for a test. They are not tied to any one company, also pensioners can get a subsidy from the government so it will be cheaper than you think.
So I took his advise and made an appointment.
I was first greeted by their friendly staff and then I met Kelly who took me in and explained, although in quite detail, in understandable language all about the hearing.
After a test (very easy to do) it was decided I did indeed need help.
Deaf in one ear can’t hear out the other sort of thing.
Kelly then went through the various products and prices, and we decided on a pair to suit me and my pocket. It was strongly pointed out several times that there was no rush and that I had to be satisfied before parting with any money. They would continue to adjust the units to suit me and if that took several visits, I didn’t pay until I was happy.
It did take a while to get use to hearing things I hadn’t for some time and things somewhat louder. It can take a while, some people quicker than others.
All the people at Hearing sense treat clients as friends and not just money. They are all very friendly and ready to help.
I can only say, do it now, you will find another life. You will need to adjust, but that is simple and quicker than you think.
I have been wearing them now for 6-7 months and rarely know I have them in. I do know when I take them out, it all goes quiet.
Go for it!
Cheers
