For 73-year-old John, Christmas used to be a bittersweet time of year. While he loved the chance to see his family, his hearing loss often left him feeling disconnected from the festivities.
“I’d miss out on family conversations,” John recalls. “I kept saying ‘pardon’ or mishearing things, and I could tell my family were getting frustrated. To try and keep up, I’d have to sit right in the middle of the table, which sometimes felt awkward. If someone started washing up, the clattering would drown out everything else, and by the end of the day, I was utterly exhausted from the effort of trying to follow along.”
John’s hearing loss also affected smaller but meaningful moments. “I’d turn the TV up to hear the King’s Speech and ask for subtitles to follow along. I even stopped going to Christmas carol services at church because the sound was too echoey, and I couldn’t enjoy the music.”
Feeling increasingly isolated and unable to keep up with family conversations, John decided it was time for a change. He booked a hearing test at angli-EAR Hearing, and last Christmas was the best he’d had in years.
A Christmas Transformation
With his new hearing aids from angli-EAR Hearing, tailored to his specific hearing needs, John experienced Christmas in a whole new way:
- “I felt so much more connected at family gatherings.” John could join conversations naturally, without constantly asking for repeats or struggling to keep up.
- “I didn’t need to sit in the middle anymore.” His hearing aids helped him hear clearly from across the table.
- “I could hear the TV perfectly without turning it up!” Subtitles were no longer a must, and his family appreciated the peaceful volume.
- “Even the Christmas carol service was magical again.” After his initial fitting, he returned for a fine-tuning appointment to ensure his hearing aids’ church programme on his app to reduce the echo was working perfectly. “That extra session made all the difference; nothing is too much bother with angli-EAR Hearing” he says. “The Christmas service sounded clear and natural, just as it should.”
Superb Support and Service
John praises the angli-EAR team for their friendly expertise and unmatched support. “From start to finish, I felt in safe hands. They really listened to my needs, and there was no hard sell at all. I know you can buy hearing aids cheaper online, but the thorough assessment and ongoing support made me confident I’d made the right choice.”
With free six-monthly reviews for five years and unlimited follow-up appointments, John knows he’s always supported. “It’s that level of care that makes angli-EAR Hearing exceptional,” he says. “They’re experts who care about getting it right.”
“I felt like I was truly part of Christmas again,” John says. “I wasn’t just keeping up—I was enjoying every moment.”
