I was quite oblivious to the gradual decline of my hearing acuity over the years. In fact, I was quite adamant that my hearing was excellent till my family members frequently had to repeat themselves when talking to me – sometimes perhaps a wee bit begrudgingly.
One day my family members and especially my wife, suggested that I should have my hearing tested. In my moment of weakness I agreed and my wife hastily arranged an appointment for me with Hearing Sense at Norwood. It was indeed quite a pleasant experience, being greeted by a friendly and smiling staff member on the day of my appointment.
The audiologist, Mr. P. Korcek, who attended to me, has a most pleasant and unassuming demeanour – which immediately put me quite at ease. He then explained what he was going to do before the actual test. When the test was completed, the result was discussed and explained to me. A few days later, when the hearing aids were fitted, he ensured that they were comfortable and what to expect from the devices. I can now engage in any conversation with confidence.
All in all, it was a rather enlightening experience which, in hindsight, I am glad I have taken and I have no hesitation to recommend to anyone who may feel that they have a hearing problem to get themselves tested.
