ROLLESTON’S HEARINGHEAR ine<br />
“I was in denial, pure and simple. My family were<br />
bringing it up more often with a gentle nudging<br />
to “do something about it.” My ability to hear<br />
accurately was impacting on my whole life and for<br />
what ever reason, I wasn’t convinced that hearing<br />
aids would make much difference.<br />
I am a parent, grandparent and teacher. Conversations<br />
were becoming increasingly difficult. I compensated<br />
and modified my interactions to cope<br />
but I was being robbed on personal enjoyment, on<br />
social occasions, family occasions, everyday life.<br />
I had been to another bigger hearing clinic 3<br />
years ago. I left without a solution to my hearing<br />
problem because the interview and testing was<br />
less about me and more about a company selling<br />
a product. It was a mechanical process and I left<br />
despondent. I was losing my hearing and that<br />
is personal, I needed it dealt with in a personal<br />
manor.<br />
Recently I happen to have a couple of conversations<br />
with friends and colleagues who had or were getting<br />
hearing aids. Their feedback on how fabulous<br />
hearing aids were was so positive. They mentioned<br />
Brenna Sincock Hearing. Right people, right time,<br />
right conversations and all of a sudden I was spurred<br />
into action and had booked into see Brenna.<br />
I am not sure that I can do justice in describing<br />
Brenna’s approach. Brenna is infinitely professional,<br />
kind and understanding. Brenna instantly put<br />
me at ease with her friendly nature and lead me<br />
through an interview that really exposed my heart<br />
and motivation as to why I would want to rectify<br />
this increasing inability to participate more fully<br />
in my life! Brenna gave me time and patience. She<br />
fitted hearing aids and I was overcome by the how<br />
much more I could hear.<br />
We have had follow up appointments since and<br />
adjusted the aids. I know I have her support and<br />
can call her with questions at the drop of a hat.<br />
That personal connection, for me, is important for<br />
dealing with something as important as hearing.<br />
In the short time that I have had my hearing aids<br />
they have re-enhanced my life in immeasurable<br />
ways. At school, I no longer have to ask children<br />
to repeat themselves, my colleagues will have<br />
noticed the difference in me, it just such a relief.<br />
LOVE YOUR HEARING<br />
Call 03 390 2332 today<br />
My own family are elated, to make an understatement,<br />
but also proud of me for having had the<br />
courage making this decision.<br />
Hearing is a precious gift. Thank you Brenna for<br />
your gentle professional explanations and support.<br />
I highly recommend Brenna Sincock and her<br />
business to anyone who may feel they have any<br />
hearing loss. Don’t leave it for seven years, like I<br />
did!” - Sharen Holmes<br />
