My name is Jeff Lebhar. I am the sales manager of the Senior Voice. Rarely do I write articles, but I felt compelled to write after my per-sonal experience with an amazing company.For the past few years, I’ve noticed hearing loss in one of my ears. I also developed a ringing sensation in my ears. I began having diffi-

cult times talking with people and being on the phone, and hearing was especially difficult in noisy environments. Because my hearing is so important to my career and my busy social life, I wanted to go to a well-established company with a longstanding reputation. For many reasons, Knoblach Hearing Care clearly stood out as the place to go for me. It is a private company showing more expertise and personalized care than any other practice I researched. And I must say my experience was marvelous. After an extensive two-hour hearing examination with detailed explanations, I was confident I was in the right place. Once I was fit with my hearing instruments, the results were incredible. The instruments are comfortable to wear, the sound is clear and my tinnitus (the

ringing in my ears) goes away as soon I put them on! What I learned is that there’s not just a button someone presses to make the hear-ing aids go to “normal hearing mode.” There’s a lot of technical artwork that goes into mak-ing the hearing instruments sound just right to each individual person who puts them on. Dean Knoblach’s personal expertise was able to find the perfect fit for my needs, and, after I spent years dealing with hearing loss and asking people to repeat themselves, Dean was able to restore my natural hearing. Beyond that, I am astonished by the extra energy I have. I now have that awful ringing gone, and my hearing is almost effortless. Before, I had no idea how hard I was working just to simply hear. Now that I don’t need to strain to hear every sentence that’s being said, or constantly try to lip read, I have more energy throughout the day to do the things that I enjoy. The reason I am writing this article is to encourage people with hearing loss/hear-ing difficulties to have it corrected. I endured the frustration of my hearing loss for years and years. I struggled to hear around my family and struggled to hear around my friends. There are many jokes and happy memories I should have had, but instead I had to guess at what people were talking about. I missed those experiences. I can’t get those years back, but at least I won’t have to endure missing them in the future. I wholeheartedly encourage anyone experiencing hearing difficulties to call Kno-blach Hearing Care. Their consultations are free; their number is (727) 530-3533. I expect you’ll be as happy as I am.
