My Name is Beth Robertson I am 81 years young and I have been wearing hearing aids for 30 years.
As time has progressed so have the hearing aids. When I came to Kelly I had good hearing aids, but they needed programming properly. And up until I met this remrkable young lady, who is very good at her profession, my aids were giving me trouble, noise and not hearing clearly.
Kelly programmed them and gave me 2 extra programs, one for taking out some of the loud noise of traffic and the other to connect me to the T switch, which is very good to use in the theatre or any place where they have a loop, it always helps to enquire about it as it enables you to hear directly to the person who is speaking, without the noise of people around you.
Recently Kelly said I was due for new hearing aids, and advised me to go for the ones which would allow me extras. I took her advice, one of the extras allowed me to use my aids and hear my moble through them, without taking my moible out my handbag. I also am able to listen to music from my ipod and when I skype my friend in UK I am connceted with my computer into my hearing aids.
When you are DEAF it should not mean you are isolated. I volunteer and love to meet people, I learned to lip read which helps.
Do not be afriad to try hearing aids but be prepared to persevere.
Contact Kelly for help and discuss your needs with her she is a very capable lady, Kelly has certainly helped me! Before I came to see Kelly I was struggling to hear properly.
