“I can’t believe people…do without hearing aids.”

“Hearing loss runs in my family, so I knew when I was pretty young that I would probably need hearing aids. I also knew I wanted to go to a doctor’s office to get them fitted, not just some place at the mall. I’m actually on my third set, and each pair has gotten better. The ones I have now are awesome; I can’t live without them. In fact, I can’t believe people are willing to miss out on what they do without hearing aids.”
