A Happy New Year, Through My Starkey Hearing Aids
I recently had cataracts removed from both eyes. Wow! I simply didn’t know how muddled my world had become, how much I was missing! But now, I walk around amazed by the blue, blue skies, and the tiny green leaves (that had been globs of grey green); the rooms are painted in brighter colors, pieces […]
Starkey Hearing aids from Gardner Audiology Give Daughter of Pioneer Deaf Educator a New World of Better Hearing
I recently caught up with Maria to follow up to an earlier blog that focused on her father. I wanted to know more about her own hearing loss and her life now that she is wearing Starkey hearing aids. Maria Butler Spence is the daughter of George Stahl Butler (1899 – 1985), a pioneer in […]
Adjusting my Starkey hearing aids to compensate for grandchildren’s screams
I live in a house with high ceilings and wooden floors and am often visited by three squealing seven-year olds who love to make echoes.

I’ve worn hearing aids for several years. Dan Gardner of Gardner Audiology fitted me with a set of Starkey’s just over a year ago. I worked through an initial adjustment period.

Things I still enjoy – with my new Starkey hearing aids from Gardner Audiology
Given my significant hearing loss, I wondered if there would be things I can no longer do, things I’ve always enjoyed. Gratefully, the answer is, “No.” Of course, if there’s something I don’t want to do, that’s a different story. I can (and do) just take out my hearing aids 😉 But I want to […]
I Am Not Deaf. I Just Misheard.
I recently had a house guest and was more conscious of the humor that marks the difference between what I hear, without my hearing aids, and what was actually said. And frankly, what I hear is often much more interesting 😉 Examples of why people mistakenly think I’m deaf when I just mishear. As […]

With New Hearing Aids I Hear My Granddaughter Whisper But When She Screams!!!!
I am a Family Court Mediator and had a mediation the first Monday I was back from my road trip to Gardner Audiology. There were two attorneys and one client with me in a conference room; the second client appeared by conference call. I was amazed! The volume on the speaker phone was on high […]
