‘‘I got my hearing back, thanks to this device!’’

Charlie lost all of his confidence until he discovered the MICRO Infini-Ear.

CHARLIE had enjoyed a long career as a postman. He loved staying active, getting out and about and meeting people. And he loved nothing more than spending time with his grandchildren.

He first became aware of his hearing problems just before he retired. “The problem had been niggling me for a while. My wife Margaret was always telling me to turn down the TV, but on normal volume I struggled to hear a word.”

Using a mobile phone had also become a problem. “My whole family used to take the mick, saying I was always shouting.

“I tried to ignore the problem for a long time but Margaret kept pestering me to do something about it, but there was no way on earth I was going to wear one of those bulky hearing aids.

“Then one day at a family BBQ, my youngest grandson sat on my knee and shouted “Grandad, Dad says you’ve gone deaf and I have to shout when I talk to you.” I laughed it off, but I realised how bad the problem was.

Later that evening Margaret showed me an advert for MICRO Infini-Ear, and she asked me to give it a try, after all it didn’t cost a lot and they offered a best price guarantee.

“I gave in, I knew I had to do something. The device looked very small in the ad, but I was a bit sceptical.

“When it arrived I couldn’t believe how tiny it was – technology has moved on from those old-fashioned bulky things! The minute I put it in, it was incredible, every sound became so much louder and crystal clear.

“The MICRO Infini-Ear is so comfortable I could hardly feel it. And looking in the mirror at different angles it was hardly noticeable. I wore it for a few hours at home each day the first week, just to get used to it. The biggest difference I noticed was the TV volume, instead of level 32, I could now hear perfectly well at level 18. Margaret was dancing around the living room when I told her.”

Charlie couldn’t face a bulky hearing aid

“I was in denial that I was losing my hearing and too embarrassed to wear a hearing device until I discovered the tiny MICRO Infini-Ear”

“The device is brilliant!”

“The second week I wore it all day and even out with the lads, on Friday night. I felt like my old self again, no longer pretending that I’d heard what they said, or

asking ‘what was that?’ all the time.

“I’d been a right idiot for ignoring the problem for so long. This device is brilliant, it’s given me back my confidence, I no longer feel left out. The crazy thing is, it’s so cheap, I got my hearing back all for less than £40!” The MICRO Infini-Ear hearing device is only available from Branshaws, to order freephone 0800 138 4900.
