My main concern was getting unbiased advice, around the different devices available.

I didn't want to be pushed into something that wasn't going to give me a benefit.

Why did you choose Cotton Tree Audiology?

Dr Dunay was the main reason, The fact that she holds a PHD shows a commitment to providing the best evidence-based solutions. Secondly, they are not tied to any one brand of hearing device, this means that Dr Dunay was able to provide a tailored solution that worked for my unique condition.

How has better hearing changed your day-to-day life?

My main issue was hearing in loud environments, having meaningful conversations with my friends and family while enjoying pub trivia.

My hearing aids allow me to have detailed conversations across the table in a noisy pub/restaurant. This reduced my social anxiety greatly, because in the past I would smile and nod even if I couldn't understand what was being said.

My advice

Relax, you are in the best hands, be honest with what works and what doesn't. Dr Dunay will take as long as is required to get the best solution.
