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 />

Barry Pirtle<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 />
