Living Out Loud: Garfield Davies
Having lived with hearing loss for decades, retired Consultant ENT Surgeon and long-standing patient, Mr Garfield Davies, has experienced first-hand how hearing technology has evolved over the years.
In this conversation with Adam Shulberg, he reflects on one of the most significant advances he's noticed: hearing in noise.
Hearing someone speaking in a quiet room is one thing. Following a conversation in a busy restaurant, at a family gathering or in a crowded space is something else entirely.
For Garfield, the improvements in speech understanding in noisy environments have been remarkable.
He also reflects on the importance of being guided through those technological advances by a team that understands not only how hearing technology has changed, but how his own hearing needs have evolved over time.
As Garfield reminds us, hearing care isn't just about keeping up with technology. It's about finding the right technology - and the right support - for you.
Thank you, Garfield, for sharing your experience and insights.
Living Out Loud is our ongoing conversation series, featuring patients and guests sharing their personal experiences of hearing - and being heard.
