“I would highly recommend coming in and getting tested, testing is painless and very informative.”

“If you do not end up getting hearing aids, at least you will have a clear picture of your hearing capabilities and what your options are.”
Don first realized he had a hearing loss while he was at work, as he struggled to understand voices from far away.
“I was in an important meeting at work when I realized that I was having a hard time hearing. I was seated towards the middle of a large conference table and I could not understand the people at either end.
“I discovered that if I pushed my ear lobes out, my ability to hear everyone significantly improved. At that moment, I realized I needed help.”
When the time came to treating his hearing loss, Don first approached his personal care physician, who suggested that Don should choose an experienced audiologist or a hearing aid technician to provide hearing solutions.

“You have to relearn how to recognize some of the sounds you have lost over time, but once you begin the process and become aware of all you were missing, you will have a more fulfilling life.”
Kathy remembers the day she realized she had a hearing loss well.
“It was over 20 years ago. I was my oldest daughter’s Girl Scout Brownie leader. I was finding it difficult to hear a couple of the shy, soft spoken girls.
“When I asked them to repeat themselves, I could sense their stress and reluctance.”
Inevitably, this took a toll on Kathy’s mental health, as it made her realize that her hearing loss didn’t just impact her own life, but it also impacted others.
As a Girl Scout leader, her role was to help the young girls gain confidence and feel comfortable in group situations. By this point, she began to doubt her own leadership abilities.
Admittedly, her biggest concern was “how bad my hearing loss was and whether they would be able to improve my hearing.”
When it came to approaching North Houston Hearing Solutions, she was initially nervous, but as soon as met Lacey Houston, she felt “very comfortable.”
Lacey took the time to get to know Kathy personally and they shared stories about their families. Kathy adds, “It was like talking to a good friend.”
This was the first time she felt heard, and she knew she was in good hands.
Since having her hearing aids fitted, her life has changed in many ways. She feels “much more comfortable and confident in group situations.”
Kathy also finds that she no longer has to ask people to repeat themselves, and she can enjoy her time outdoors, hearing all the sounds around her.
While Kathy is now on the road to better hearing, she understands that many others are still being held back.
She adds, “I would tell them their life is about to change in the most positive way. I would also tell them to be patient, as regaining a sense that hasn’t been 100% takes some adjustment.
“You have to relearn how to recognize some of the sounds you have lost over time, but once you begin the process and become aware of all you were missing, you will have a more fulfilling life.”
Kathy rates her experience as 10/10.

“Everyone was kind, spoke clearly, and I felt like I was with family.”
Often asking others to speak up, MaryAnn found herself always putting the blame on others, unaware that her hearing loss was the cause of her problems.
As a school nurse, she would often think, “Why can’t these teenagers not speak up? Why are they mumbling all the time?”
One day, a student asked her, “Do you have something wrong with your hearing?” and from there, it all fell into place. From that moment of realization, she understood that it wasn’t everyone around her, but it was her ears that were the problem.
Her next thought was, “Where do I go from here?” as well as the cost of hearing aids and the options available.
To her surprise, this was not the case, as she received a “thorough exam and then all the options and price ranges were explored and discussed.”
North Houston Hearing Solutions made her “feel comfortable from the moment I walked through the door.
“Everyone was kind, spoke clearly, and I felt like I was with family.”
Since having her hearing aids fitted, MaryAnn feels like she is “part of life again.” She is active and “no longer shy away from situations where I would have difficulty interacting with others, like crowds, restaurants, gatherings, etc.”
Looking back, MaryAnn “did not realize how diminished my hearing had become until I was fitted with aids and could again hear all the important things around me I had been missing.”
She encourages others to “Make an appointment today” and rates her experience as 10/10.

“Take a chance. You will not be under any obligation after all.”
As a teacher, hearing was an essential part of Thomas’ profession. From time to time, he found that he couldn’t understand the questions his students asked in class. By this point, he knew he needed to get his hearing checked.
Thomas describes it was a light bulb moment when he realized hearing loss wasn’t just volume, but it was “actual frequencies of sounds like s, t, p, s, sh” that were preventing him from hearing the more soft-spoken students.
What stood out at North Houston Hearing Solutions was that “all the staff seemed very professional yet caring.”
In truth, it can be intimidating visiting a clinic for the first time, but Thomas’ life has been much better since he visited the team.
Now, he can “understand conversations much better, hear the TV at normal level of volume.”
Best of all, Thomas has escaped the isolation he felt on a regular basis. Thomas encourages others to take the first step just like he did.

“The pair I got were only twice what my web-based aids had cost and are so much better, plus I get a free tune-up every year! Take a chance. You will not be under any obligation, after all.”

“Your hearing will be so improved that you will wonder why you waited so long to go visit NHHS!”
Hearing loss impacts your life in many ways. For Rick, he found that he couldn’t understand his grandkids when they spoke to him, which was a sure sign that he needed to take action.

“They will listen to you, identify the issues you face, and recommend options to get a big part of your life back.”
DW remembers the moment she realized she had a hearing loss well. It was 1976 and she was in a small room where a large caliber handgun was discharged about three feet away from her right ear.
Since then, everything was quiet and she “couldn’t hear things that previously had brought privilege.”
Sounds such as the “birds, music, and my grandchildren’s voices” were taken away from her and her hearing was never the same since.
When the time came to visiting a hearing healthcare professional, she knew she could count on the team at North Houston Hearing Solutions.
What stood out the most for DW was the level of concern they had for her hearing, as they “wanted to make certain I received help.”
Once her auditory results were known, they knew she needed help and suddenly “everyone began to talk a little louder so I could understand my options.”
Just like eye surgery — where suddenly life is filled with detail and color — DW’s hearing aids changed her life massively, as she could now “hear things I haven’t heard for forty years.”
She thinks North Houston Hearing Solutions is an “excellent choice.”

“They unexpectedly delivered a quality of life that I had not imagined possible.”
I received my first set of Phonak Lyric 4 hearing aids. They unexpectedly delivered a quality of life that I had not imagined possible. I now am able to hear the birds chirping, the rain falling on my house, traffic on the interstate two miles away all while inside of my home. One night in December 2022, I was preparing to cook outside on my Blackstone grill.
When I turned the service valve on to light the burners,I could hear gas leaking out of the relief valve. I removed that propane bottle and took it out of service indefinitely. I am 100% confident that my hearing aids saved my life and possible injuries to my family. I’ll forever be grateful for my Lyric hearing aids and Dr. Brooks.
