Clinical Audiologist and Hearing Aid Dispenser
Quote:
"I understand the special needs of a person with hearing loss, as I have a younger sister who has a severe hearing loss. She lost her hearing when she was four years old from a high fever, and has been wearing hearing aids ever since. I have been around hearing loss and hearing aids for most of my life, which has given me a real understanding of what you and your family members are experiencing."
