“Personally, I’ve been helping people here better for over 24 years. It’s exciting and emotional when someone wears hearing aids for the first time. They almost immediately realize that they can reconnect to the important people in their life. They realize just how much they’ve been missing.” – Melissa Danchak, Au.D., CCC-A
Dr. Melissa Danchak is humbled by the opportunity she and her staff are given to help people hear better. "We are given the opportunity to help people reconnect to their life in so many ways. The positive quality of life differences that we have been making are humbling - it reminds us why we do what we do!" Hearing and understanding clearly what is being said is more challenging than ever before. “So many of the environments t hat we a re in on a da i ly basis have competing background noises. Hearing and understanding clearly what is being said when background noise is present, like at a restaurant or at a social gathering for example, is challenging for someone without hearing loss! For someone with hear ing loss, and in similar settings where backg round noise is present, understanding what is being said is an exhausting task.” Dr. Danchak and her st af f recog nize that hearing loss is a very unique and personal experience. "Hearing loss makes it cha lleng ing to rea lly engage w ith
family members and friends in social gatherings. Each person has their own story to tell about how hearing loss has been impacting their life. Personally, I’ve been helping people here better for over 24 years. It’s exciting and emotional when someone wears hearing aids for the first time. They almost immediately realize that they can reconnect to the important people in their life. They realize just how much they’ve been missing.” Although hearing loss is a natural part of the aging process, the signs are not always obvious. "Because hearing loss isn't as noticeable as blurr y vision or a toothache, it's understandable that p eople deny t h at t hey m ay need t o get their ears and hear ing checked. However, hearing well is an essential part of everyday life - using the phone, communicating with friends, family, and coworkers, and understanding important medical discussions. Regardless of age, we all depend on our ears and our hearing." Your better hearing experience begins w ith a discussion about your unique
