You know that feeling when you wake up with butterflies in your stomach? Your head is filled with anticipation, a crippling fear of what may come next on a big day. It could be a test at school, a meeting at the office, or anything else scary you have to do or say. Imagine all the planning time we lose while worrying. If we could turn our fear into excitement, don’t you think we would have better results?
I honestly think people might be more afraid of the audiologist than the dentist, and we don’t cause any kind of pain here. A friend of mine confided to me that he was afraid to be seen in the community wearing hearing aids. Seriously. Afraid of a little hearing aid?
Let’s get excited about better hearing! Imagine yourself living a life of hearing with crystal clarity. Even the “bulkiest” pair we carry, still pretty much disappears behind your ear. We even have a hearing aid that’s so invisible even someone whispering in your ear wouldn’t see it. That same friend of mine is now wearing his hearing aids all over the place. He was so blown away with what a difference it made in his life, that now he tells people they are there… otherwise they would never know!
