Mission Trip – January 2013

 
My favorite part of the trip was meeting the children. I don’t do any of the pediatric fittings in our office, so it was a refreshing change to help those kids hear. Most all of the children I fit had never worn hearing aids before, and since most suffered from moderate to profound hearing loss, their speech abilities were underdeveloped. The circumstances were heartbreaking, but it was so rewarding to see their eyes light up when they were fit with the aids and able to hear for the first time!

For this mission, Audigy Group audiologists and Starkey Hearing Foundation volunteers collaborated with Mexico’s national institution for Integral Family Development (DIF), which brought in its own ear, nose, and throat specialists and volunteer translators. As a group, we fit close to 1,900 people in four days. We were working nonstop and gave each patient a medal as a small token of appreciation for their patience and trust. One day, I remember, I ran out of medals—so I know I saw a lot of patients that day!

I am looking forward to the next Starkey/Audigy mission trip. It was one of the best experiences of my life—being able to help people who would not otherwise have the opportunity to hear. It was an emotionally taxing experience, but one that was tremendously rewarding as well. I will treasure the memory of those children’s faces for the rest of my days.

Battery Program

Dear Patient,
At Chesapeake Hearing Centers, we strive to provide the highest quality of service to our patients.

As part of this, in the past, we have instituted battery clubs and battery programs that conveniently ship the batteries to your home via the United States Post Office. Unfortunately we have not only seen a steady rise in postage but we have also seen a reduction in the quality of shipping services. Many of our battery packages have been damaged,returned to us or shipped with postage due despite our careful weighing process.

Because of these issues we are going to change our battery programs. All future battery programs will be designed to personally give a years worth of batteries directly to you at the same time we provide a free clean and check service for your hearing aids in one of our convenient offices. We would like to see you twice a year for service and certainly at the very least once a year when we would provide you with your batteries. Our goal is to reduce your costs and provide even better service to you.

We hope that this change will allow us to spend more time with our patients providing exceptional care. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact us.

Your Chesapeake Hearing Centers team
