My new hearing aids meant I could play a very active part in what was happening…

“I was fitted with top-of-the-line hearing aids after many years of failing to acknowledge that I had a problem. My hearing loss had been impacting on me, my family and my workmates at Auto One Midland since I can remember, without me really considering just how bad this was. Now I want to relate an event that truly confirmed just how wonderful it is to have my ability to hear restored – for everyone. "My new hearing aids meant I could play a very active part in what was happening, instead of being in the background."

A few weeks after the fitting, I joined my team at Formula One in Townsville, Queensland. My new hearing aids meant I could play a very active part in what was happening, and instead of being in the background, I was out there giving and receiving instructions, having many laughs and generally participating in the thick of it. Suddenly my hearing aids spoke to me letting me know that my batteries were going to deplete. They soon stopped working, yet I hadn’t brought any replacement batteries with me.

It was pretty devastating. My self-confidence was temporarily in tatters. I faded into the background, silent, failing to contribute to the team effort and festivities, so much so that the others queried what was going on, was I sick, was something wrong?

If anyone is putting off getting hearing aids for whatever reason, can I recommend that you go and see Brad Hutchinson Hearing and trial these beauties for yourself. They will give you back your life and you won’t be wasting any more precious time. Do it – it’s worth it. With a free test and trial, you’ve got nothing to lose.”
