Thank You, Thank You, Thank You….Even the cat thanks you! By Dr. Richard Reikowski, Au.D

The first thing said as she sat down was, thank you, thank you, thank you and even my cat thanks you!

I had to laugh and inquire with a smile…She was seen about one week ago for the fitting of a Bluetooth TV Unite to her digital Resound LiNX 3D hearing devices. The reason was to help her listen and understand the TV with much lower volume. Now, when she enters the room to watch TV she presses for a short period a button on the hearing device and she automatically streams the TV sound directly through the hearing aids. The volume of the TV can be lowered to whatever pleases others in the room and the patient has complete audibility and clarity of the TV show to enjoy!

Her daughter accompanied her on the TV device fitting and said that the TV has been so loud, in the past, that the cat leaves the room!

Today, she said the cat is loving it as much as she does! There are so many wonderful and quite simple ways to improve peoples lives. Hearing devices certainly are one of them. So glad that her cat is pleased too!
