New Bluetooth-enabled Signia Nx hearing aids have finally delivered Cathy Blakey close to normal hearing.

Maureen Shand’s journey highlights the advancements in hearing technology over the last 57 years, culminating in her latest digital hearing aids, which she describes as a ‘miracle’.

“I am so happy that persistence paid off and I found Lys Allison at Hearing Professionals. It has changed not only my life, but my husband and family are for the better too.”

“A few months ago, Simone called after being at a training session for these new Signa Pure BT (Bluetooth) hearing aids. They seemed to tick all the boxes. And now I want others to know the huge difference they have made to my life. You could say, I have done the hard yards, so hopefully others won’t have to.”

"Hearing all the environmental sounds I had been missing and forgotten was very pleasurable; enjoying music again is simply brilliant, hearing well in social situations has given me more confidence I didn’t realise I’d lost. I have even rediscovered the fun of deploying a quick wit in conversations which I’d lost as I wasn’t always sure I had the gist of conversations."

"One of the first things I’d notice is all the simple sounds that I had been missing - wind, rain, birds. But the ability to communicate properly in a whole range of situations…. let’s just say that life is so much easier... No doubt my friends and wife wish that I had something earlier."

"It took me about 2-years to do something about it... then it was like ‘wow’. I had no idea what I’d been missing. I even noticed the cat purring for the first time in ages... The sound quality from the TV is incredible and the hearing aids will still pick up the signal from the kitchen if I making myself a cup of tea..."

“Noisy restaurants used to be impossible... That has all changed.... I was recommended by another audiologist to see Lys Allison and her team at Hearing Professionals." And there was a huge difference. They are independent.. I recommend them to everyone without reservation.”

“I now hear lots of things which I missed before. They’ve been great for my confidence in presenting seminars and have turned my hearing difficulties on their head… people have no idea that I am wearing hearing aids, unless I first point this out to them and show where they sit discreetly behind my ear.”

I really want to encourage someone in a situation like I had been in to stop delaying and pick up the phone and make an appointment… more than ever, I appreciate how important hearing is to quality of life and people need to understand that they are worth it. They have completely changed my life!”

"Simone’s impeccable professionalism, friendliness, and knowledge have been a delightful change in service. Her willingness to rectify the problems encountered by Dad, is worthy of great commendation... We only wish that Dad had relocated to Hearing Professionals sooner! Thank you for restoring our faith!"

“I can’t rave enough about how great Simone has been. Even when I was happy, she wanted to do more. Instantly the hearing aids that she recommended sounded bloody amazing. So clear. So comfortable.”

"I do a lot of cycling with a group of friends and Beth (wife) was a little concerned about my safety… specifically not being able to hear traffic. Now when I am out riding, I can carry on a conversation with the person next to me and don’t ride off into the distance anymore when a friend is yelling out ‘stop I have a puncture!'"
