"My ears were suffering badly-Lee Newton brought it back to form."

A review of The Derby Hearing Centre by Matthew Trotter written on Saturday 30th of January 2016

Both ears,especially the left,were missing words.Without any testing,you could feel

there was a deeper cause.Lee tested me thoroughly by an audiogram,and at a

particular frequency,there was a deep trough,meaning great insensitivity.He tried me

with a particular hearing aid,adjusting where necessary-this was all done electronically.He suggested that because the ear weakness was beginning to be

compensated for,the mind would need time to adjust to the apparently strong signals-

the mind has become unused to them.The hearing aids needed subsequent

adjustment,but the favoured idea was to try a different variety.They were fitted and

adjusted,but there was subsequent difficulty simply because of my suffering ears.I

went back before my appointed time,and Lee straightaway tried me with a frequency

tester,which brought a fundamental improvement.Indeed,on the subsequent

appointment,he thought it would be best to keep to the settings.He suggested an

ultra powerful hearing aid,but did not really feel this would be suitable-it would be

too powerful.But the mind does take time to adjust to the new sounds,and it is

important to talk in groups-to have different 'sound environments' as it were.

The ears are like a muscle-they need to be exercised..
