Thanks to 21st century technology, even those with nerve-related hearing loss can find a resolution for an age-old challenge.

“I’ve had a hearing problem for several years,” reports retired grocery executive Ken Fletcher. “I used to go into staff meetings and not be able to hear clearly, and it was very frustrating. “I wasn’t able to hear a lot of particular sounds,” he adds. “Sometimes it sounded like people were speaking a foreign language, where I could hear the sounds but couldn’t distinguish the words.” Ken searched for an answer, but without results. “I’ve been in and out of different hearing clinics and doctors’ offices in Texas, Virginia, and Florida,” he recalls. “I have a nerve type hearing loss, and there was nothing any of them could do. I never had any kind of hearing aids, because I was always told that hearing aids wouldn’t help me. It was very disheartening.”

The right solution

Ken finally found help when he consulted Jeffrey Clark, a certified clinical audiologist and founder of Physician’s Choice Hearing & Dizziness Center. “Hearing aids are so easy to use now and so much better than they have ever been before,” says Dr. Clark. “At Physician’s Choice we pride ourselves on offering the highest quality of care, professionalism, and products, and on ensuring patient satisfaction. ”Oticon hearing instruments proved the best choice for Ken. “Oticon provides revolutionary hearing devices specifically designed for people who find noisy situations challenging at work or when socializing,” explains Dr. Clark. “Never before has a device looked so good and had so much power to improve patients’ understanding in challenging noise environments. “The Oticon Delta fits about eighty percent of people, which is just phenomenal,” notes Dr. Clark. “I’ve been fitting hearing instruments for twelve years now and have never worked with a product that is so successful for so many patients.” “I’m finding that the Delta is what hearing aid wearers always hoped hearing aids would be,” adds certified clinical audiologist Scott Sims. “They put them on, other people don’t notice them, and they hear naturally.” The Delta is a tiny device that fits partly in the ear and partly on top of the ear, basically hidden by the ear. The high-tech triangular design propels hearing devices into the 21st century and sets a new standard for aesthetics, says Dr. Clark. “Speech comes through more clearly, whether someone is in a quiet or noisy environment. Artificial Intelligence inside Delta makes thousands of subtle digital adjustments every second to keep any listening experience clear and effortless.” “This device offers the most sophisticated sound processing technologies available today,” says Dr. Sims. “From advanced noise management to voice detection systems, Delta has all that’s necessary to help someone hear better in noise.”

“Absolutely wonderful”

Ken says his experience at Physician’s Choice was first rate from the first day. “The entire staff is exceptionally friendly,” he assures, “and they just bend over backwards to help you. I’ve never witnessed anything like it in any other hearing center I’ve visited. The place is just phenomenal.” And the results of his Oticon instruments surpassed his expectations. “It’s been three weeks since I got them, and I’m still euphoric,” marvels Ken. “I’m hearing sounds I haven’t heard in years. It’s wonderful.” Unexpected benefits for Ken. “I’ve had tinnitus [ringing in the ears] for over twenty years, and that can drive you crazy. I was also having dizzy spells. Since I’ve gotten my hearing aids, all that has stopped! “I just can’t say enough about how absolutely wonderful these hearing aids are.” FHCN–Michael J. Sahno
