SeboTek Hearing Instruments Help Veteran with Noise Induced Hearing Loss (09/06)

I’m 60 years old, and a retired mortician. My wife and I moved from Nebraska to Florida in 2002. We really like living down here, except for the hurricanes!

I guess the way things occurred was pretty much the way they do for many families. When I was younger, I was in the Army, and there was an explosion. I probably can attribute some of my hearing loss to that! After the military, I was in heavy equipment for a little while, and that didn’t help my hearing either. One day my wife had had enough, and she said it was time for me to get my hearing checked. So I guess from the early 1990s or so, I found that I was asking people to repeat things.

I went to one of the national chains, and I tried custom made hearing aids at that time, and it just never worked out for me. The custom made devices never seemed quite right, the background noises were too much for me, and we tried four different hearing aid products, and I returned them all.

The local Naples audiologist took the attitude that we were going to keep trying whatever we had to try—until we solved the problem. One day she tried the SeboTek on me, and there was no comparison. They were immediately better than anything I had tried before, and they are so comfortable that I have caught myself stepping into the shower and almost into the pool with them on! They don’t bother my ears at all. I put them on first thing in the morning and I wear them till I go to sleep.

My SeboTek PAC hearing aids have four digital memories, and they really make a world of difference, not just for hearing regular one-on-one conversations, but for hearing better in noise. I almost never use the telephone circuit because I hear so well with the regular circuit – but if I want to change the circuit, there’s nothing to it. I just reach up and touch the instrument on the button to change the response. It’s easy, simple, hardly shows at all and makes a phenomenal difference. I think many men are embarrassed to wear hearing aids, but these don’t really show at all, and the difference when I place them in my ears, is day and night.
