I started to lose my hearing around the age of 59, at first it was mild but then I noticed it was getting worst and was finding it harder to hear people around me unless it was quiet, naturally I did not want to admit this or use hearing aids, I mean their only for old people …right! You see I was too vain even though I had reached the stage where my hearing was now causing me problems, both at work and at home not to mention being out with friends.
After speaking to many people with hearing problems, I was very surprised when many of them told me their aids were in some drawer at home as they could not put up with them, even some costing over $10.000.00! They just found them useless, I of course could not understand this as I had never worn any!
But I was soon to discover why after I went to a Specialist (not retail outlet) as I did not trust the normal retail outlets, unfortunately the aids I was fitted with had both ears blocked off with plugs, and after wearing these for one month I took them back and told the people, sorry I can’t wear these and decided to give up on hearing aids.
Eventually, some months later I was forced to get a set from another outlet, these lasted about five years. During this time, I realised that hearing aids “Don’t replace your Hearing” they are just AIDS!! And you need to relearn how to LISTEN.
I now needed new hearing aids and so went looking for SOMEONE you would actually help me rather than just selling me their brand of hearing aid, I came across Hearing Sense on the internet and was amazing to see so many Positive reviews, so I decided to go and see them. Well, I could not have received more help from anybody than I got from these people, not once was I pushed into buying ANYTHING, or told you need XY or Z, they just tried everything to help my hearing. I did get hearing aids from Hearing Sense at Norwood and cannot speak highly enough of these people, their patience and support have been invaluable. If you are reading this letter, possibly about to purchase hearing aids, rest assured you are in VERY good hands.
