Julies Journey
The initial appointment with Dunay was so different to my previous one, it was laughable. The equipment, the length and variety of the ear hearing tests were so different. Dunay herself was the consummate professional.
My hearing and communication
I first realised I was experiencing hearing loss when the actors on TV would mumble! My husband is normally softly spoken so I was always telling him to speak up! The catalyst for seeking help was in the car. My daughter and granddaughter were in the front seat and I was in the back. I could not catch what they were talking about.
I suggested to my daughter, “Perhaps I need hearing aids,” half joking.
Her reply was damning, “Yes you do, Mum.”
Eek I thought.
My experience
The initial appointment with Dunay was so different to my previous one, it was laughable. The equipment, the length and variety of the ear hearing tests were so different. Dunay herself was the consummate professional. She was friendly and welcomed my questions. She explained the results so my husband and I could understand. Having some aids for a trial period was a great incentive as it showed what I was missing. The electronics in the devices are so smart it’s phenomenal.
My hearing aids
I wear my hearing aids nearly all the time. I’ve become so comfortable with them I’ve worn them in the shower several times and have had to hurriedly remove them. No damage done fortunately. I went to the extra expense of getting a gidgee for the TV which directs sound to my hearing aids. My husband now has the volume to his liking.
My recommendation
Dunay and Trish are exceedingly knowledgeable in their field and are willing to give the time to help you with any problems you have. I’ve found them personable, approachable and professional and have been waxing lyrical about them to all my friends. If you think you need help with your hearing, contact Cotton Tree Audiology! You can say, “Julie sent me”.
