We say Leightons HearingCare is the best place to talk about hearing. That’s because, although we know all about the mechanics of hearing, we always want to learn more about how hearing loss can affect individual lives. So this section has kindly been written by some of our customers. They describe, in their own words, how they felt about, and dealt with, the practical and particularly the emotional difficulties which are such an underestimated part of hearing loss.
