"NOW I CAN HEAR WELL I'VE A HAPPY HUSBAND" "I'm not what you'd call deaf", says Daphne Scott of Freshwater in the Isle of Wight, "but I am hard of hearing. It's made life difficult for years. As I got older the problem became almost unbearable. But with help from Scrivens, and their wonderful mini-aid, it's a problem I've solved".

"A TREMENDOUS DJri-mtHCE" "I first tried a hearing aid seven years ago but I couldn't get on with it.

So I didn't use it and just battled on hearing less and less. Until last year when Clifford my husband handed me a Scrivens advert saying 'Why on earth don't you try again. See if these people can help you'. A very kind man came to see me. He tested my hearing and made a miniaid especially for me.

'Go easy with it', he said, 'wear it just two hours a day at first'. But for me it worked straight off and I've worn it all day and every day ever since. It's so comfortable I hardly know I'm wearing it. I can hear really well again and that's made a tremendous difference to my life".

We have been caring for the hard of hearing for half a century. We are proud to have helped thousands of people to hear more clearly and enjoy life to the full again. Nobody has more experience or understanding than us that better hearing means a better life.

"LIFE IS A JOY AGAIN'1 "My life is now full of unexpected pleasures and surprises. Last Spring I heard a cuckoo sing.

Something I hadn't heard for years and what a joy it was. I love to walk along the sea shore with Clifford and our dogs.

Now I can hear the slightest ripple of the sea on the pebbles and the cries of the sea birds.

crashing against the shore.

We love living on the Island. It's very beautiful.

We came here when my husband retired twelve years ago. We've made a lot of friends and my great joy now is that I no longer have to struggle to hear them".

"A HAPPY HUSBAND" "If you are hard of hearing it's a constant struggle and strain just to hold a normal conversation. My husband speaks rather quietly. He used to have to shout to make me hear him. Good natured man that he is. this used to infuriate him. And this would infuriate me even though it was my fault!" We asked Clifford about this. "It's much better now" he said "and what's more we don't have to have the television blaring all the time! Daphne's hearing aid has been a real boon to us both. She can hear the sermon in the church rather than me having to recall it for her later. She can hear the organ and join in the singing. We can chat easily together just as we used to. Yes. I'm a happy husband asain!"
