RJDhearingcare<\/strong><\/a><\/p>A patient’s story:<\/span><\/em><\/p>My name is Rebecca Smith and I was born with a condition that is very rare (affecting 1 in 40,000). It is called Klippel-Feil Syndrome. It\u00a0<\/span>affects predominately my neck spine, my mobility and my ears. From birth my neck is much shorter than it should be with webbing at\u00a0<\/span>either side of it and my head is held slightly to my right. X-rays showed a massive fusion of all the 7 vertebrae of my neck, except for\u00a0<\/span>1 small area where I have slight movement so I was never able to look over my shoulder or extend my neck at all. Also from birth I\u00a0<\/span>have deafness in both ears, profound deafness in the left and moderate loss in the right. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>During all my child and adult life, despite having bad ear infections and a perforated left ear drum I was very happy with my NHS\u00a0<\/span>Analogue Hearing Aids. I could hear sounds loudly, clearly and comfortably \u2013 it felt just like normal hearing. My hearing aids were like\u00a0<\/span>my best friend and helped me to overcome my insecurities about the negative effect of my neck on my life. I panicked whenever I\u00a0<\/span>thought I\u2019d lost them around the house!\u00a0<\/span>Then the change over to Digital took place and the NHS Digitals I tried were just awful. Sounds were bad quality, distorted and\u00a0<\/span>changed constantly in different surroundings. I felt dizzy and disorientated. I continued hearing Analogues until they eventually\u00a0<\/span>stopped working. I had 2 of the last batch of NHS Analogues from about 12-14 years ago. They had lasted such long time and that is\u00a0<\/span>another advantage of using Analogues – they last ages!\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/div>\u00a0<\/em><\/div>Last summer, with no Analogues that worked properly I found an Audiologist who said he stocked the old Analogue type. But I was\u00a0<\/span>very disappointed when he more or less said he would only sell me Digitals at a too expensive price for me: \u00a3600-\u00a31000 or over! I felt\u00a0<\/span>disillusioned and depressed because I missed my Analogues so much. I was struggling with no aids at all. I didn\u2019t think I\u2019d find any\u00a0<\/span>Audiologists who would help.\u00a0<\/span>Then I discovered R.J. Donnan Hearing Care, based at Oswaldtwistle Mills. Right away I felt comfortable and at ease, with Rob and\u00a0<\/span>May. Rob gave me some very good advice for ear care as well as for hearing aids;\u00a0\u00a0 he\u00a0 explained\u00a0 that\u00a0 I\u00a0 may\u00a0 be able to have my\u00a0<\/span>perforated ear drum mended, which in the past no one else had mentioned. And I have now got an appointment with E.N.T\u00a0 clinic to\u00a0<\/span>learn more about that, thanks to Rob,\u00a0 the Senior Audiologist. He was very caring, kind, empathetic, understanding, patient and nothing\u00a0<\/span>was too much trouble. He tried me on a 7 days trial of Phonak Naida I UP Digitals Aids. He bore in mind that I liked the behind-the-ear\u00a0<\/span>types first and although they weren\u2019t suitable or right for me, Rob was very understanding and really listened to every word I said. \u00a0<\/span>Next time I saw him, I couldn\u2019t believe my eyes! Rob had found me on Analogue Hearing Aid! Analogues have been discontinued\u00a0<\/span>about 10-14 years ago and as I had researched on the Internet – Hundreds of people still love Analogues but cannot buy them\u00a0<\/span>anywhere.\u00a0 Even\u00a0 in\u00a0 America a lot of previous users of Analogues cannot adjust to Digitals and have\u00a0 suffered\u00a0 psychologically\u00a0 and\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>physically\u00a0 from\u00a0 having\u00a0 no\u00a0 alternative\u00a0 to\u00a0 Digital Hearing Aids. <\/span><\/em><\/div>\u00a0<\/em><\/div>I had tried Audiologists around my area and every single one of\u00a0<\/span>them didn\u2019t want to know about Analogues. Rob is the only Audiologist I\u2019ve met who cares about people!\u00a0<\/span>Not just the newest Digital Hearing Aids. And he will work as hard as it takes to find the best hearing aids to suit you. He will always\u00a0<\/span>invest his time into making you as happy and as suited to your new hearing aids and you don\u2019t\u00a0 pay a\u00a0 penny until\u00a0 you\u00a0 are entirely\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>satisfied.\u00a0\u00a0 No\u00a0 stress, pressure selling or hassle! Rob\u2019s Analogue Hearing Aid which I now own is a FEIE 209. It has only cost me <\/span>\u00a3<\/span>295<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>– that\u2019s including a beautiful hearing aid mould of the highest quality, which actually moulds itself snugly inside the ear. It is the most\u00a0<\/span>comfortable ear mould I have ever worn and I am confident that there is no feedback sounds as the mould is such on excellent fitting.\u00a0<\/span>Comparing that cost to \u00a3600 \u2013\u00a31000 over from other Audiologists! Nothing compares to Rob at R.J. Donnan Hearing Care. \u00a0<\/span>Rob has a passion for wonderful customer service and amazing prices, he really doesn\u2019t sell hearing aids \u00a0<\/span>just because they are the most expensive or the latest technology. He offers you great support and the\u00a0<\/span>best hearing care for you. And for other Analogue lovers, Robert Donnan Hearing Care at Oswaldtwistle\u00a0<\/span>Mills is definitely your home. I am now receiving excellent free after care and appointments are always \u00a0<\/span>available anytime. <\/span><\/em><\/div>I\u2019m so glad that I have found Rob and I\u2019ve finally found the support I so badly needed.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/div>\u00a0<\/em><\/div>\u00a0<\/em>Rebecca Smith, Lancashire\u00a0<\/span>31.01.16<\/span><\/em><\/div>\u00a0<\/div>
