Andrew MacLeod has worn Phonak Savia hearing aids for 10 years. “My hearing is now deteriorating fairly quickly from about 30dB loss to 40dB in the last two to three years,” he writes. “It is difficult to follow normal conversation without an aid. I am still a little nervous about being seen with aids, but definitely now intend to wear them and show them off more, especially since I now need them quite badly.” Andrew also has a myopia, which affects his vision. “I am a little worried that I will probably be quite deaf and blind in a year or two.” Andrew, Lipreading Mom wishes you the very best in your hearing (and vision) journey.
