“I would like to take this opportunity to say “Thank you” to Family Hearing Care.  Having been referred by friends and a local physician, I was told, “This is the BEST facility to address your hearing concerns”…..I have not been disappointed with that assessment.  I had been aware of experiencing difficulty with picking up details of conversations for some time, but I dismissed it as “normal” aging (I am 62 y.o.).  Recently my friends and family noted that over time, despite typically being a very social and spontaneous person), I had become somewhat disengaged with people.  They began to recognize that I had not been understanding or hearing conversations therefore I could not respond or interact as I once had done.  The hearing evaluation confirmed a significant enough loss that bilateral aids were recommended.  Dr. Hanrahan provided a most comprehensive evaluation, explanations of all procedures, findings, and recommendations to be sure I had a thorough understanding of all variables to be considered.  When I took advantage of the “demo” aids, I was shocked and overwhelmed at the difference in my experience of our world.  As a professional musician and a mental health professional, I depend upon incoming auditory information to determine how to respond, both musically and verbally.  I literally did not know what I had been missing.  I also came to realize how exhausting it had become for me to attempt to interpret what people were saying  thus relied upon visual cues, gestures, lip movement, etc. to comprehend my environment.  With the assistance of hearing aids, when I was first able to hear the full tones of my wife’s voice, music that I make with my friends, birds singing, and even the clicking of my car’s turn signal, I knew this was a life-changing experience. Thank you Family Hearing Care for you personal and professional service and ongoing support.  My life is forever improved thanks to you.”
