Hi there, I am an 86 year old pensioner and I have suffered severe hearing loss, after the last 26 odd years I put it down to working with heavy industrial machinery, I have had hearing aids for approximately 20 of those years. But deterioration wore them out, I was recommended by a friend to go to Hearing Loss Specialists I had a very good experience with my first aids, just over 6 years and I'm now on my second set which I feel quite sure I'll get another 6 years, I highly recommend Hearing Loss Specialists.
