Katherines Journey
From the first appointment Dr Dunay put me totally at ease with her kindness and her desire to help me find the right solution for my impaired hearing. Dr Dunay and Trish have been amazing to work with.
My hearing
My hearing had been gradually deteriorating over several years making it increasingly difficult to attend work meetings, have phone conversations, go out to dinner in noisy environments and watch television to name a few of the many ways it impacts your life.
My communication
One-day my brother said to me I've been talking to you and you haven't heard a word; he was standing behind me and I was totally unaware he was talking. I decided that it was time to seek help.
My decision
I researched audiology clinics on the Sunshine Coast and decided upon Cotton Tree Audiology. This was the best decision I could have made. From the first appointment Dr Dunay put me totally at ease with her kindness and her desire to help me find the right solution for my impaired hearing.
My realisation
I never realised how much I had been withdrawing from situations where I was unable to communicate due to my poor hearing. Wearing hearing aids has opened up my world. I am now no longer concerned about not being able to be an active participant in conversations.
My recommendation
If you are having difficulty hearing don't wait as long as I did to seek help. The team at Cotton Tree Audiology, Dr Dunay and Trish have been amazing to work with.
