Hearing Aid technology continues to improve. The Reach 62D seen above is one of the smallest aids in the business and fits comfortably behind the ear with a small clear tube which fits in your ear canal.
The computer chip inside this unit is micro and extensive. Should you go from an environment that quiet like your home or office into an area where noise becomes a problem, the Reach 62D automatically adjusts for your comfort level.
If you have resisted the urge to have your hearing checked or the possibility of needing a hearing aid, follow the example of one of our patients, Mr. Scott. A former NY Police Detective, now in his early 70’s found his hearing to be less than perfect. As a matter of fact, Mr. Scott had some difficulty hearing at church.
Mr. Scott thought of his problem as a “handicap.” One day he decided after much insistence from his wife that his so called handicap wasn’t the loss of hearing , it was that his vanity which kept him from hearing and that was the handicap.
Mr. Scott came into our Pembroke office (Pembroke 4 across from Pembroke Mall) after making an appointment to have his hearing checked. After being welcomed into the office, we discussed with Mr. Scott his hearing life-style. He loved to go to church, listen to Jazz, enjoy the comfort of friends and family and had a passion for Softball.
Our Licensed professionals then gave Mr. Scott a comprehensive hearing exam including a video of his ear canals. They did find a significant loss in both ears. This may have been due to years as a Police Detective and spending hours at the shooting range.
We first fit Mr. Scott into a middle price range set of digital hearing aids and turned them into perfect hearing through our Beltone computer program. Once tuned in, Mr. Scott’s smile went literally ear to ear.
We asked Mr. Scott to wear the Instruments for seven days to decide if these fit his busy lifestyle. After seven days, he returned to the office and asked if he could try an upgrade to the highest quality hearing aids we offered. He recognized that if he could hear that well with a mid range set, he couldn’t help but wonder how he would hear with the top of the line. Long story short, the sound quality improved so much in his case he opted to purchase the 62D Reach which you see above in the picture.
The moral to this story is, if you haven’t had your hearing checked in at least six months, it’s time you heard what you might be missing. Call one of our offices at 497-3900 to arrange for a FREE comprehensive exam of your hearing. This is a $175 value that is always free at Beltone.
