Virus update

Ears to You remains committed to providing quality hearing care during these trying days.
We plan to continue seeing patients, but our schedule has been structured so that only one patient is in the office at any one time.
Walk-ins are allowed if no other patients are present. Patients may be accompanied by a family member or friend as desired.
Patients are asked to use hand sanitizer or wash their hands upon arrival. Patients with symptoms such as cough, fever, shortness of breath,
or muscle aches are asked to reschedule. Surfaces are cleaned following each appointment.

One patient emailed us, “You are essential personnel.” 🙂

Try not to cry

If you’ve purchased hearing aids in Hampton Roads, but not from Ears to You, then try not to cry when you get to the last paragraph:

“I can not tell you how impressed I am with your hearing aids. I can hear perfectly to include the microwave beeping when it is done, the backup warning on our car, clocks all over the house, street noise from Denbigh (3 blocks away), ALL conversations. The list goes on and on.” Clyde in Newport News

“Hi David! How nice of you to check in. So far, I’m LOVING being able to hear. I’ve worked a couple afternoon shifts wearing them and am able to hear things I can’t recall hearing before.” Cheryl in Ohio

It’s obvious that Clyde and Cheryl want to hear as well as they can. Their results can only be obtained by combining great technology with a great fitting process. Clyde is an experienced hearing aid user; he’s purchased hearing aids from two other area providers over the last 10 years, but he’s never been able to get the results he wants until now. Cheryl is a new hearing aid user who is just starting her journey with better hearing. She drove to Virginia on the advice of her brother who had seen me recently.

You don’t have to pay $5,000, $8,000, or $10,000 at Ears to You. Premium technology is available for around $4,000. Like I said, try not to cry. Just call 757-877-4000 for an appointment.

“Yes, Dear, that clock has always ticked.”

beautiful_clock_illustration_isolated_object_on_white_background_300I recently called a new hearing aid user to see how he was doing. His wife answered the phone and reported for him. One of her remarks was that he noticed the clock ticking on the wall. Usually we think of hearing aids in terms of helping people with speech understanding. That is often the primary goal because that is often the primary complaint: “I can hear her talking but I can’t understand what she’s saying.” [Read more…]

It’s Okay to Cry

2016-10-20_thanks-outsidePeople react to better hearing in a wide variety of ways. Recently one of our patients came in for maintenance on a hearing aid. She brought a thank you card which expressed her appreciation and she cried as she described how precious better hearing is to her.

We don’t see that level of emotion every day, but we certainly appreciate all the cards we get. What is more common is the gentleman who has an obvious hearing loss, but who is in denial of the problem. Other people mumble. His wife turns away as she’s speaking and he doesn’t understand. It’s not his problem. I’ve probably put this next anecdote in a previous post, but it bears repeating, if only to point out how far some people will go in their denial. [Read more…]

It is refreshing to know that a professional such as yourself would render the excellent quality of care as you have done for us. May the blessings that you have shown be given unto you beyond measure. Again, thank you.”
