“I’ve always supported Sally with her hearing loss so when it came to upgrading or repairing existing aids it was done. Sally has an incredible ability to still communicate with people even with her hearing disability. She is an amazing person.”
Chatting to Sally about the impact she felt her hearing aids had on the people around her, she said,
“My family noticed I was hearing more than before, so it meant they didn’t have to repeat themselves as much as usual.”
From hearing sounds she had never heard before, to realising how much she had missed, hearing aids have changed Sally’s life. However Sally believes successfully adjusting to such a big change really does requires the support of those around you.
“The main help or support I needed was encouragement that I was hearing better!
You think you don’t need hearing aids and that you are better off without them, as it is so overwhelming. When you go for your appointment, it gives you the confidence to keep trying.”
