 “I talk with more people now than ever before.”

I had standard technology hearing aids which did not meet my needs and then my audiologist recommended my new programmable hearing aids.  I think that they are great.  I talk with more people now than ever before.  It’s just amazing the change in my lifestyle these new aids have brought about.”        

I recommend Island Hearing to everyone.  I already have several times.  For example I was at a dance and met someone with hearing aids who was always adjusting his aids, while I could sit back and relax.  I am very happy with my hearing aids because they make me very comfortable in hearing, better than I did before.  Also, if I go dancing or to a party I can sit comfortably and hear what people say, as well as the music.  I have flexibility with my hearing aids;  I find in a group I can switch to a 2nd program.

“I’m a part of it again and I couldn’t be happier!”

“I was missing out on family conversations and my children noticed it first.  My oldest daughters began complaining that I didn’t hear what they were saying.  Then, my husband agreed. 

When I found out I had a hearing loss, I was devastated because I associated hearing loss with senior citizens.   I was also frustrated because I didn’t do anything major to damage my hearing, I didn’t go to too many rock concerts and didn’t listen to loud music.  I took my hearing for granted.

The biggest difference was the immediate change of being able to hear background noise again.  I could hear conversations that were going on around me again.  I can hear birds chirping outside, even commercial trucks backing up.  Now I feel a part of what is going on around me.  And even my kids noticed the change immediately.

If I could tell people only one thing it would be, not to let hearing problems go on a long time; you miss so much!”

Text Box:  “They are simply first class!

“Before I went to Island Hearing I looked into some of the other hearing aid companies.  Island Hearing had very competitive prices on hearing aids and none could top their customer service.

With my hearing consultant’s assistance, I changed to a digital product and am very happy to be hearing so much more clearly.  My wife really notices a difference too!

Island Hearing is a company of the future when it comes to emphasizing customer importance, and they do it properly and professionally.  They are simply first class.”

Text Box:  “I can hear an eagle’s call, a running river and the wind in the trees again.” 

“If I was unable to hear, then my experiences in capturing these special moments would be greatly diminished.  Using the digital hearing aids I now have has made a substantial improvement to my quality of life.

Whether outdoors, in crowded room or talking one on one I can adjust these aids so that I can hear clearly.  Thank you for your services in customizing the hearing aids to my particular needs and your follow up to ensure that they continue to perform as they should.”

“For the last year and a half I have been apologizing to my wife for not getting hearing aids sooner”

“No longer does she have to keep repeating what she has just said.  I could always hear sounds in general moderately well, but my hearing loss in the upper part of the sound spectrum made it difficult to hear consonants clearly so that one either couldn’t make out what was said, or misinterpreted the sound pattern with possibly disastrous results.  

I am thoroughly satisfied with my present hearing aids, having given up on the earlier model that I tried.  They may be the monetary equivalent to two IBM Pentium computers, but I think they are worth every penny. 

Again and again I find that other people have tried hearing aids but given up on them because they are the difficult older models.  The other day, for example, we were at a luncheon in Victoria and Penny was talking to three other wives, each of whom said that their husbands more often than not, did not use their hearing aids because the results were so unsatisfactory.  A wealthy Victoria friend of my brother-in-law had given up going to gatherings of any sort because of his hearing difficulty.  John told him about my favorable experience with Program 2 on my hearing aids which dampens down extraneous sounds from the sides and back, & his friend thought that it sounded like just what he needed – then he heard the price and said, “ I wouldn’t pay that much for a hearing aid; it would be ridiculous!” Idiot!  The automatic volume control alone would make my hearing aids worth the price!

Thank you again for helping my hearing so much.”
