UK VETERANS HEARING HELP<br />
Paul Smith has become an<br />
ambassador for UK Veterans<br />
Hearing Help since having<br />
successfully had his new<br />
hearing devices fitted. Paul<br />
cannot speak highly enough<br />
about the care he received<br />
and now promotes the service<br />
to other Veteran colleagues<br />
on how UKVHH provides a<br />
first-class service to those with<br />
hearing difficulties.<br />
Paul served in the Royal Navy<br />
for some ten years and during<br />
his time in Service, he was<br />
subjected to training on<br />
Morse Code, often using<br />
machine guns and rifles as part of his training<br />
and later in his Service, worked closely to<br />
Helicopters all of which generated loud and<br />
uncomfortable noise levels. On one of his<br />
tours he was involved with missile testing frequently<br />
using a 15mm machine gun and as<br />
he had to work in the middle of the ship, he<br />
was almost constantly exposed to this high<br />
level of noise.<br />
Like all individuals, he did not notice the hearing<br />
loss and compensated however, his<br />
friends and family did. He felt embarrassed<br />
as he had to keep asking friends and family<br />
to repeat themselves due to not hearing the<br />
conversation clearly. It was his wife that<br />
noticed his hearing was not as it should be<br />
and made him go for a check on his hearing<br />
levels. He tried both unsuccessfully NHS and<br />
a national hearing company’s hearing device,<br />
but they only felt uncomfortable.<br />
Being an avid reader, he read about UKVHH<br />
in the Leicester Mercury and decided to contact<br />
them to see if they could improve his<br />
quality of life. After the journey of being tested,<br />
approved by the Royal British Legion<br />
Veterans Hearing Fund, Paul and especially<br />
his family and friends are more than delighted<br />
with his new aids and he now feels more confident<br />
in the company of others.<br />
We at UK Veterans Hearing Help will guide<br />
and support you throughout the process and<br />
ensure that only the best care and after care<br />
is given to you thereby ensuring that your<br />
quality of life is improved. We are not just<br />
here to administer your application, we are<br />
here to care for you as an individual and that<br />
means a great deal to us<br />
Are you living for now? Or are you always waiting<br />
for something to come along in the future?<br />
