AvenLink: Hello, can you share a special moment you experienced after using hearing aids?
John: Of course. This is a really interesting experience. I was walking down the street in a ghost town in the wild western United States, and it was so quiet. I was looking around and suddenly heard this strange sound. I thought, what is this sound? So I asked my best friend, "What are you talking about?" He said, "Dude, what sound?" I said, "There's this sound, what is it? Wind?" He looked at me confused and said, "Dude, it's the flag." Because in America, there are massive flags everywhere. They're patriotic. So it was this big flag making noise in the wind. That was the first time I heard a flag. I was 28 years old. As technology gets better, the better I hear. And that's just really cool to be able to say that.
AvenLink: That must have been a very memorable moment. Can you tell us more about your journey adapting to and using hearing aids?
John: It definitely was. My journey with hearing aids has been full of new discoveries and challenges. At first, it was hard to adjust to my surroundings because there were sounds I had never heard before. For example, the sound of a flag flapping in the wind—such a small but real sound was new and exciting to me. As technology advances, my hearing aids have become more sophisticated, with better sound quality and lower latency, which allows me to integrate more naturally into my environment.
AvenLink: It sounds like your hearing aids have brought a lot of positive changes to your life. How do you think these changes have impacted your quality of life?
John: The impact has been tremendous. With hearing aids, I can not only communicate better with others but also enjoy the finer details of life. For example, hearing the sounds of nature, the nuances in music, and even the ordinary sounds of daily life—all of these make my life richer and more vibrant. Hearing aids have not only improved my quality of life but also boosted my confidence.
AvenLink: Have you faced similar challenges and breakthroughs in your work?
John: Yes, definitely. In my work, especially during meetings and client interactions, hearing aids are crucial. I remember one important meeting with many participants, and the noise was overwhelming. Without hearing aids, I wouldn't be able to hear everyone clearly. Hearing aids help me hear each speaker clearly, allowing me to actively participate in discussions and provide effective advice. Such breakthroughs have enabled me to make more progress in my career.
AvenLink: What plans and expectations do you have for the future?
John: I hope to continue developing in my professional field and help more people with hearing impairments find suitable solutions. I plan to hold some lectures and sharing sessions in the future to share my experiences and insights on using hearing aids, hoping to inspire and help more people. At the same time, I look forward to further advancements in technology, making hearing aids even more functional and beneficial for more people.
AvenLink: Thank you for sharing your story and experiences.
John: Thank you!
