Real stories of hearing what matters again

“When I put in the hearing aids, they were more than breakthrough.”

Eugene
Cleveland

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.

“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.”

Libby
New York

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.

“In the middle of rush hour I could hear the voices and not the noise.”

Andres
New York

Andres’s life in New York City required a constant defense: pulling his hearing aids out the moment a siren or a honking car made the noise too painful to bear. Now, that physical discomfort has disappeared.

“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.”

Gloria
Las Vegas

“I’m hearing sounds now that I simply didn’t know existed.”

Cory
New York

“I can now make out what people are saying. It’s a huge difference.”

Meryl
New York

“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.”

Lorn
Hawaii

“With other hearing aids, I heard all sounds... Now I only hear what I want to hear.”

Jon
Chicago

“I was stunned, really. It was overwhelming. I hadn’t heard music in ten years. Suddenly, I wasn't just hearing a song, I could hear every single note.”

Susane
New York

“Now I can sit at a restaurant, hear the piano in the background, and still catch every word of the conversation.”

Steve
New York

“I could definitely hear the difference right away and how much that difference was. It was a big change.”

Rajen
New Jersey

“My wife and I used to have ‘sound wars’–TV up, music up, everything louder. That’s completely gone now.”

Stephen
New York

“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.”

Charley
Arizona

“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.”
