I have now had my wonderful new hearing system for over a year and I am just writing to tell you what an amazing difference they have made to my life. As you know, I have quite a severe reduction in hearing and had always assumed that my level of hearing could never reach that of a normal person, but now I don't think anyone would believe that I am hard of hearing. A whole new world of sound has opened up.
I can hear birdsong, the rustling of leaves in the trees, dogs barking in the distance, friends talking across the room – I can even eavesdrop and my husband has to be very careful what he mutters under his breath! Listening to music is once again a pleasure and generally life is more relaxing. I don't have to strain to hear anymore and the quality of sound seems so natural that I am hardly aware that I am using hearing technology.
