“All hearing-impaired people need is a knowledgeable person with a plan that can give you back a measure of hearing that makes your life better.”
“I suffered SNHL, sudden sensorineural hearing loss. Literally, one minute I could hear, the next I was virtually deaf in one ear, with partial loss in the other. I was scared beyond measure.”
When Michael first recognized his hearing loss, it was an extremely troubling experience. Unlike many others whose hearing loss happens gradually, the sudden hearing loss he suffered changed his life.
But also, unlike many others in his situation, he faced the challenge with optimism and hope.
“I was enthusiastic to visit SSA. A friend had seen Julie, was fitted for aids, and was highly complimentary.”
“Julie’s manner is soothing but very informative. She knows her stuff cold. She came up with a plan, and we put it in motion.”
Michael made a great decision to visit a professional about his hearing loss and was pleased with the service he received at South Sound Audiology.
Since his case was severe, he explains how his hearing aids have impacted his circumstances.
“Hearing is still a challenge. I do not hear everything I want to, and I can no longer use sound for direction purposes. But without my hearing aids, I would be far worse off. One of the best features is the white noise that helps minimize the effect of my tinnitus. They are a godsend for that alone.”
Michael’s enthusiasm upon seeking help for his hearing loss is one to be admired and makes it hard to understand why anyone would not address their hearing loss.
He advises, “Go see Julie, she is top-notch in her field, and she can help you. In the end, that’s all hearing-impaired people need is a knowledgeable person with a plan that can give you back a measure of hearing that makes your life better. It did for me!”
