The difference made by the new aid was amazing. Work represented new challenges. My closest colleague noticed the difference immediately! She told me I was obviously hearing better and speaking more clearly too! This took me aback. As time went on, she remarked that I no longer wore the strained expression she had become used to as I concentrated hard on the poorer quality sounds picked up by my old NHS aid.

One of the nicest things is the joy of picking up the telephone and recognising the voice of the caller. This has made such a difference to my home and social life and is a huge asset in my new job in which I have to call all over the world.

I am delighted with my new aids. Who knows what I could have achieved if I had them at the start of my career!

Hilary’s husband added: I found that I was being asked to speak more quietly for the first time in 37 years of marriage! It is an enormous pleasure to me not to have to repeat almost every word of my half of the conversations.
