Dr Sar’s Reminders

“You only have one set of ears to last a lifetime, so treat them well”

“Hearing difficulties are invisible affecting you, your friends and family, and has a direct impact on your quality of life.”

“Hearing loss is more noticeable than hearing aids, you can hide your hearing aids but not your hearing problems.”

“Using hearing aids is not a sign of old age but having hearing difficulty and not doing anything about it is a sign of old age.”
