I want to say what an amazing product this is. But first, I am in my 70’s and quite deaf, in fact my doctor said I was deaf as a post! Family life was getting difficult and my wife was having to repeat things, annoying her and me. At meetings at work I found it hard to follow most of what was being discussed. I would often mistake what people said as something else – sometimes quite humorous, but not what makes for easy living.
I am used to wearing in-canal hearing aids. For several years ESH hearing aid is my second hearing aid, My first hearing aid was also a good choice, too. at first just in my left ear, and these worked pretty well, but as my hearing got worse I was having to turn up the volume to full, which gave a lot of feedback and whistling. In the end I gave up. my first hearing aids were £1250 Specsavers Hearcare for each side.
So when a buddy bought the ESH hearing aids pair for a much better price I was tempted and started reading the reviews. A lot of what people said made sense, some of it I’d not considered before. So I bought a set. Wow!
I unpacked them, turned up the volume and pushed them in. They fitted in my ears pretty good, especially the left one. I could hear! The rattle of my belt buckle, the click of my laptop mouse, were all new sounds. I went outside. There was this strange background noise, a sort of distant humming, all around! What could it be? Then I realized I was hearing the noise of the traffic on the road nearby. I had never heard that for a long time.
One important aspect is the confidence these aids give me when with other people. I never had that since I went a little deaf. Now I can hear what they are saying. I can answer with 99% certainty I am on the right subject, can inject some humor into the conversation without the fear that I have missed the point somewhere.
