LIFE’S TOO SHORT TO SPEND TIME FIDDLING WITH A HEARING AID

If Anna is not treating clients or babysitting or hanging out with friends, she’s almost certainly not visiting her audiologist either. Anna takes pride in how well she hears, no matter where she is. This is her story:

" If there’s one thing I don’t need in my life, it’s more appointments. I don’t have the time or desire to go to any other clinic than my own!"

So I expect to be able to adjust my hearing aid myself, whenever I need to. And no matter where I am or what’s going on, it had better react instantly – whether I’m giving it specific input at that moment or not.

That’s why I like EVOKE. It’s like it knows where I am and what kind of sound I need there. It remembers my preferences, you know? Then it automatically adjusts, so I can hear everything that’s important. 

Ever since my granddaughter was born, I’ve been helping out my daughter by babysitting at least every Wednesday afternoon, and sometimes on the weekends too. 

There’s a huge difference between the sounds I hear at work and what it’s like when I’m out and about in the city – not to mention the sounds the baby makes!
Somehow, it all sounds pretty natural, and I can always hear individual voices, which is really important to me.
My audiologist calls EVOKE a smart hearing aid, and she’s right. In my opinion, one of the smartest things about it is that I’m not constantly reminded that my hearing has deteriorated. It just works. 

" I don’t even feel like I’m old enough to be wearing a hearing aid. And life’s too short to spend lots of time fiddling with it."
