What users are saying about <strong>Adapto</strong><br />
Mary Anne Fisher<br />
About family life...<br />
“Before I was fitted with<br />
<strong>Adapto</strong>, I had a really<br />
difficult time listening to<br />
my grandson. A lot of<br />
times I told him that he had to come up<br />
to me and talk face to face, so that I<br />
could understand what he was saying.<br />
And now I don’t need to do that. I can<br />
hear what he says - even if I’m driving in<br />
the car and he’s in the back seat and I<br />
have no way of seeing what he is saying<br />
- I can still hear him.”<br />
About life in the classroom...<br />
“When I made a commitment to go back<br />
to school, I realized that I needed to do<br />
something about my hearing, which is<br />
what drove me to get my hearing tested.<br />
<strong>The</strong> difference is marvellous - I can hear<br />
everybody in the classroom, including<br />
soft-spoken people. I’ve taken computer<br />
classes and I can even hear over the<br />
computer noise. I was wearing a hearing<br />
aid before, but <strong>Adapto</strong> has just made it<br />
more natural.”<br />

About socializing<br />
with others...<br />
“I’ve always had difficulty<br />
hearing other people, even<br />
at the same table with me<br />
in a restaurant. But the few times I’ve<br />
eaten in a restaurant since I got <strong>Adapto</strong>,<br />
I’ve found that it’s much different. I can<br />
hear everybody talk individually. I feel<br />
like I can carry on a conversation with<br />
them without a problem. <strong>The</strong>se hearing<br />
aids cut down on the background noise<br />
and allow me to hear their speech.”<br />
About life at the end of the day...<br />
“<strong>Adapto</strong> has definitely allowed me to be<br />
more relaxed at the end of each day.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y’re not a strain on me in any way.<br />
<strong>The</strong> constant sounds I would get from<br />
other hearing aids - it’s not there with<br />
<strong>Adapto</strong>. It cuts down on those extra<br />
sounds in the background - the ones that<br />
are not important - and leaves me feeling<br />
much more at peace at the end of the day<br />
than before.”<br />
Michael Busichio<br />
About what other<br />
people say...<br />
“A question that often<br />
comes up is ‘How long<br />
did it take you to get used<br />
to the hearing aids?’ I read a book one<br />
time and it said you should wear hearing<br />
aids for 10 minutes one day and 20 minutes<br />
next day and if you have a problem,<br />
see a psychiatrist. What a lot of bunk<br />
that was! With the <strong>Adapto</strong> hearing aids I<br />
had no trouble whatsoever. When they<br />
put those hearing aids in my ears everything<br />
changed. <strong>The</strong>y felt natural. And<br />
they felt comfortable.”<br />
About how it can change your life...<br />
“Some of my friends have asked, ‘Mike -<br />
was it worth spending the money for a<br />
hearing aid? What advantages have you<br />
really had?’ Well, it has completely<br />
changed my life. When I sit around with<br />
people who have hearing problems and I<br />
listen to the things they do to hear, I only<br />
look back at what I did myself. It’s so<br />
much easier to put a couple of hearing<br />
aids - <strong>Adapto</strong> hearing aids - in your ears.<br />
You’ll feel so much better and your life<br />
will be a lot easier and happier.”<br />
