I was very pleased to hear a patient respond to the question, how are you doing, with the reply “We are on the right track”! This most certainly led to us talk further, as I was quite interested to learn more what she meant….
She went on to say, “the phone is plain and clear. Even my soft spoken granddaughter, when she called last night, I could understand her very well. Prior to my new hearing aids, I struggled to hear and make out half of what was said. Now the cell phone call streams wirelessly, and in stereo, to both of my ears with a full sound. The car Sirius radio, is also easy to understand and is quite nice. Not to mention, I can now enjoy going from quiet to noisy areas with a clearness of speech and comfort, I hadn’t even realized was a possibility! I suppose I had just gotten used to hearing a certain way, with many missing parts of speech”.
It’s a joy to have these conversations with patients and even more so to be a part of their lives!
Sometimes we don’t know what we are missing until it is given back to us!
Kelly,
Well said!
That’s always a great thing to hear!
Yes, it sure is great to hear!
That’s awesome how much they’re helping her! and how she notices the difference from the way she used to hear.
Thank you Gail. Yes, quite an improvement.
Always nice to hear a good success story.
