Also, his wife has a soft voice and missing the fruitful years of grandchildren’s fulfilled activities. His old experiences with hearing aids and audiologists were bad and don’t want to spend too much. He explained his problems, followed our suggestion, and invest in the best and is getting most of the benefit with aids. His first reaction was “The most natural sound I have ever heard with whatever setting you have done in the hearing aid”. He is a socialite and with our help now he has direct phone connection, listen to music, or take a phone call and can hear the audio directly. Now he could hear his grandchildren and others better, and with high sound quality. On regular visits, he says that I am still sometimes amazed when I am wearing these.
