Hearing again is like a breath of fresh air for Chorister

As part of our Now Hear This series, we feature another of our patients who has kindly agreed to talk about why he chose The Hearing Care Centre.

Mike from Melton, Suffolk

My hearing deteriorated many years ago and it was making me rather miserable to be honest. I had been to see people about my hearing but it wasn’t getting a great deal better and then I came across Karen. She was like a breath of fresh air; she dealt with me, I though,t very professionally. I had a very in-depth assessment using a special machine at The Hearing Care Centre and she encouraged me to try the hearing aids she recommended. She managed to find the hearing support which was right for me as there are lots of different makes on the market and she just knew what would work for me and it does!

Before my aids a note was just a note

Without them I can hear almost nothing these days but with my aids I can hear and sing in the choir at church, I can easily switch quickly to the hearing loop and then back again when I’m not there. It’s the little things I notice the most with these aids, like I can again appreciate the difference between semi tones in the music – I think these aids are far more accurate than anything I used before I met Karen. In those days a note was just a note to me.

What would you say to others who are unsure about having their hearing checked? 

 I’m always recommending people go to see Karen and her team. For example I have a friend a couple of years older than me and he stands next to me in the choir. He wears two hearing aids himself and he can’t hear a thing! The other thing which is a big difference is that unlike the NHS clinics I can always come back whenever I need to.If I need some more advice or feel I need help with my hearing aids The Hearing Care Centre are happy to see me whenever I need to go in there and it’s not like that on the NHS.

Thanks Mike your comments are very kind and much appreciated. If you'd like not only to hear again but hear with clarity and definition why not give us a call?

Until next time

Regards

Karen
