Real stories of hearing what matters again
“All I ever hoped for was for my hearing not to get worse. For it to get better was more than I could have ever hoped for.”
For twenty years, Libby’s social life required a strategy: sit in the front row, tell the instructor she was hearing disabled, and ask everyone to look directly at her. Now, that mental checklist has disappeared.
“When I put in the hearing aids, they were more than a breakthrough.”
Eugene had grown used to catching only 30% of a conversation in noisy places, a struggle that often led to a quiet withdrawal from the things he loved. He had resigned himself to thinking things were as good as they would get, until he discovered Fortell.
“The minute I put them in, I started to cry. It was like being in a room that was totally silent, and then suddenly, the world was just... open to me.”
“These I can comfortably wear all day and actually look forward to having them in and hearing subtle sounds that have escaped me for many years now.”
“Now I can sit at a restaurant, hear the piano in the background, and still catch every word of the conversation.”
“We had a couple over for dinner the other night. About halfway through dinner, I realized that I had been fully engaged without trying to hear anything. The hearing aids had become invisible, and I was just able to participate in the conversations.”

“These are a massive leap forward in hearing aid technology. I can now attend parties and dine out at restaurants and actually hear the people with whom I’m speaking. This, to me, is nothing short of miraculous.”

Hearing is lost so gradually that it's easy not to notice what we've lost. The money I spent on the Fortell hearing aids was money well spent.
