I understand, because we were out to dinner with our daughter and her family and I walked off without my hearing aids. It was so good to see my grandchildren but it was embarrassing not to be able to answer back with my usual wisdom and banter when I couldn’t understand what they conversation was about.

I just tried to listen as best I could, but it would have been so fulfilling for me if I had not forgotten my hearing aids. I can hear low tones just fine but my loss is in the high-pitched tones which makes it impossible to understand a lot of words – especially in the higher tones of child voices – in a noisy restaurant.

I tried not to show it but it was so frustrating and I had no one to blame but myself. Forgetting those two little electronic devices made me miserable. I am so interested in my grandchildren’s activities and each one of them has a very busy schedule; I want to be a part of their lives.

An untreated hearing loss takes away your ability to communicate, especially with close family and friends. When you miss what is said, you start withdrawing and not participating. You have to just sit there like a bump on a log, nodding your head agreeing, smiling like you know what is being said. You feel like you wished you hadn’t gone at all.

If this is true for me I KNOW it’s true for every person who has a hearing loss like I have.

I am only in my 60’s and I have a lot of my dreams and music still inside of me that I want to come out. Without the ability to simply hear what is being said and to communicate effectively, my dreams are in jeopardy. I realized how easy it was for me to go home and put my hearing aids on to correct my hearing. What about the tens of thousands of people who experience this every day with no relief? Their dreams and music may never come out.

Don’t let the music die within you. These little digital devices we can fit you with are so easy and simple to wear. All you have to do is remember to put them on! After my experience I vowed that I would never again leave the house with my hearing aids left on the bathroom counter. Life is so much better when I can hear the music.

Came in yesterday for my mother due to an ad invite for a new hearing device and instead got more than we came for, a thorough ear/hearing tests and insurance options expert advice without sales pitch hint. Dr. Wesley Nakamura's patience and knowledge made us feel comfortable and he genuinely wants to help us, putting our best interest first. Neat and clean office with super friendly staff! Too bad Yelp only got 5 stars when I could easily give it a 10! Thank you Wes and the staff !!! Aloha! - Andy andy hawaii 5 star review
I took a hearing test there and had the best experience ever! Dr. Nakamura is really generous, friendly, and heartwarming. He made sure if I felt comfortable when I am in the small room for the hearing test. He knows well with hearing aids and he fixed feedback of my hearing aid like in 5 minutes. The feedback bothered me for a long time but it got so much better. He speaks Japanese very well, too. I would definitely come back to here if I ever get a problem with my hearing aids. Thank you so much!! - Manae mane hawaii 5 star review
