Testimonials

Here you will find personal impressions and experiences of some hard of hearing people which tell you how the use of high-tech hearing instruments has changed their lives. Perhaps this will encourage you to try a hearing solution for yourself and be positively surprised?

Ray Maher, Current microPower wearer:

"I am hearing things I haven’t heard in years. Listening to the birds chirping is wonderful, something I didn’t realize I was missing. Conversation with family and friends isn’t as difficult with the hearing aids as it has been in the past. No more lip reading!”

Jennifer Grosstick, AuD, CCC-A:

”My patient says the microPowers are lightweight. Easy to insert, and natural sounding. She wants to put the hearing aids up on a billboard telling everyone they need to try them.”

James Policher, current microPower wearer:

“Family and friends comment on the way they look. They seem to like them. I like the idea of being able to pick the color you want.”

Tim Crane, Hearing Instrument Specialist:

“microPower has brought a new level of fitting for my “power” users. I have fit several patients with microPower with outstanding results. No feedbackissues, xShell is a great fit and I have even been able to help those that have tried everything else. Phonak is now my preferred manufacturer as they have something for ALL my patients!”



Letter from Chloe

This letter to Phonak was written by Chloe, a seven year old girl. She was fitted with Claro hearing instruments at the age of six.
Dear Roger and all the people at the factory,
thank you for making my hearing aids. You are the kindest people I've met in my life. Thank you so much. How many did it take to make the Claro hearing aids. I can really hear everything. I can hear the falling rain on the roof, Mummy cooking the food, Tara messing up and Daddy playing on the play station. It must be nice to help children who can't hear and make them hear. I would like to be an actress, beautician and feed dolphins and look after them.
Your sincerely
Chloe

"I had no idea hearing aids could make such a difference in my life. I'm certainly a believer now. I cannot imagine my life without them. Thanks to Phonak, I spend my time enjoying life instead of avoiding it."



Richard Gilmore of Texas wrote:

"I just received my Phonak hearing aids and they're better than I ever imagined...I tried other brands that were o.k., but it now seems like comparing a Model T Ford to a Cadillac."



Tom Selby of Phoenix, Arizona wrote:

“I had bought homes, cars, TVs and stereos...but never hearing aids. Until I called my hearing professional, I had no idea what to expect. Thanks to their help, I can now truly say that I’m not just getting older, I’m getting better!”



Linda Vargas of Chicago, IL wrote:

“I suffered with hearing loss for a long time before I did anything about it. I wish I knew then, what I know now about hearing aids. they’ve changed my life.”
