TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
A year off 80, I had thought that hearing aids were beyond my means. I knew I needed them! However, two friends had had them fitted in the last two years and both had paid around the $10,000 mark.
Finally, my GP suggested that I go across the road to Hearing Sense. I made an appointment and was met in a very courteous and friendly manner by Kelly. The test proceeded and I learned that I had ‘profound hearing loss’. With Government and Private Health rebates, I paid zero.
The hearing aids fulfil all my expectations. I suppose the most disturbing thing has been that I am hearing things I never knew I was not hearing. Traffic noises, birds, children’s voices, female voices, TV noise – all took on a new aspect.
It took me virtually no time to adjust to the hearing aids and the technology. I do not feel in the least obvious for wearing them. In fact, so often I have to actually draw attention to them. I find the habits of removing them for sleep and shower, replacing them in the morning almost second nature.
All along the staff at Hearing Sense have been attentive and ready to assist in all ways.
Walking into Hearing Sense was one of my better choices in recent years.
