I can finally hear my microwave beep!!!
Anita has been providing me with hearing solutions since 2009. Prior to that my previous Audiologist had always insisted that I needed molded "in the ear" aids. I hated them. Anita fitted me with my first Widex BTE aids and they not only helped my hearing, but resolved my complaints about comfort etc. As my hearing continued to deteriorate, she gave me annual hearing tests and continued to adjust my volume and programming as needed. Finally my Widex aids were just not providing enough volume for me anymore and I knew it was time to upgrade to more powerful aids. Anita recommended the new Phonak Onida aids with bluetooth technology. I have had them about a month now have just been blown away by how great they are. I can hear sounds that I have not been able to hear in years. Anita gave me several programs that drastically reduce background noise and only amplify sounds coming from the direction I am facing. For years I missed so much of the conversation at parties and dinners and movies that I just quit going. I always had to have caption on the TV and my wife hates it. But these new aids have solved a lot of these problems for me. I no longer have trouble hearing spoken words in a group setting and can watch most TV programs without caption. Yes, I still have some challenges, but these Phonak aids are absolutely incredible. Well worth the price. Thanks to Anita and Phonak, I can hear again!!<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
