Noticing a difference…..By Dr. Richard Reikowski, Au.D Family Hearing and Balance Center

“I really noticed a difference…. when I went to a weekly social gathering held in an older renovated barn, that is now also used as a restaurant. My wife and I go there weekly to meet with friends, have dinner,  and also to enjoy a trivia contest. We have liked doing this for many years but, over the last few years, I wasn’t enjoying it as much due to not understanding the trivia questions. Therefore, I begin to sit back and not participate, or a better way to describe it was that I was being left out.”

“However, now that I have used these new digital hearing devices with advancements in clarity of speech as well as noise control, I could hear people across from me and even several people away in a noisy area such as the barn type setting. I could hear everything much better and clearer and the background noise was even tolerable! Having them fully rechargeable and Bluetooth was just icing on the cake!”

One of our patients was thrilled and surprised with how much help he received from new digital hearing aids. Simply bringing an awareness of ways to improve peoples quality of life is so important.
