Today I had a long-time patient come in for a visit in the Zephyrhills office of Gardner Audiology. She has been wearing hearing aids for over 14 years. One of her biggest complaints over the years has been hearing her very soft-spoken husband. I recently fitted her with Starkey Edge AI 24 hearing aids. During the process her husband had a major health event. When he was able to come in with her again, I used real ear verification to speech map her husband’s voice and “dial it in” better. She noted immediate improvement in the office that day.
Today she came in specifically to share with me the impact these hearing aids have had on her life. She relayed the severity of her husband’s health crisis and how concerned she had been. She was unable to hear him from another room, and she was afraid she would miss something. With her new hearing aids, she can hear him get up in another room and she understands him when he is speaking to her. This has given her a huge sense of security. She also commented on how much less effort she must put forth to hear. Hearing loss is exhausting!
Better hearing is an investment in the quality of life. You cannot put a price tag on that.
