My husband has sufferd hearing loss over a period of years and it is ofcourse getting worse. He struggled with alot of different types of hearing aids. He does has some tinnitus issues...

My story is a simple one, but to Dr. Schwartz, was a chance to a life.

For most of my life, I can remember having a small hearing problem. Not completely deaf, just "different". Having mumps as a child and serious ear infections at the time, may have been the cause.
I lived 44 years with that, and never thought twice. I am an avid sports enthusiast. Both competing and watching. I still play rugby, volleyball and softball, with hunting and fishing thrown in. Basically your average Minnesota man. Oh yes, and I'm a lead singer in a local band. I'm a husband and father of two great kids. Through the last 17 years of marriage, my wife has joked with others that I had a "selective hearing loss" when it was convenient for me not to listen to her. Funny, but somewhat true. Now here is when it all changed...

I been suffering with hearing loss and severe tinnitus since I exposed with heavy artillery in the army. Over the years I have had several of brands hearing aids that have not been very successful...

I was much too young (52) to start losing my hearing, but unfortunately that is what was happening. I covered up as much as possilbe until the day a waitress asked me what my lovely perfume was, and I answered "diet coke with lime". I thought she aasked what I wanted to drink. The words didn't even rhyme but she had a soft voice and I couldn't read her lips. Laughter followed!   I got into Paula's office the next week and I didnt want to miss out on life. Babar the elephant, of  children's book fame, listes his favorite possessions as his clown suit and his violin. I list mine as my two hearing aids. I've encouraged many people with hearing loss to give them a try and to continue to enjoy their beautiful lives without missing a single word.

I have been a client with Dr. Paula and Audiology Concepts for many years and found it an absolutely positive wonderful thing for my life. I had a hearing loss so far as I know all my life...

Those are the words Doctor Courtney Stone hears every time I visit her office. What? A hearing doctor saved someone's life? This is reminiscent of the Seinfeld sitcom episode where Jerry, during dinner, accuses Marcia Cross, playing a life saving dermatologist, as "... just a pimple popper!" Immediately, a patient walks up and says, "... thank you again for saving my life." (Skincancer!)...

I have had a hearing loss since I accually can remember. When I came across Dr. Paula Schwartz my hearing aid have just totally change my life and with the new technology I´m just like anybody else...
