I'm sorry I did not hear you

Howard was always in charge of meetings, both at work and on volunteer activities. He had always been a leader. He was beginning to notice that he could not hear questions from the group and was embarrassed when questions had to be repeated to him.

Howard came to see me in my Canandaigua office. His old hearing aids had a preset volume that he could not change. I fit him with digital hearing aids that adjust automatically, but also allow him to turn up the volume if necessary during group conversations.

Howard tells me that these are the very best hearing aids he has ever worn! He rarely asks people to repeat what has been said, and is relieved to be able to focus on his business meetings instead of his hearing loss.
