“Hearing aids help me clearly understand my toddler twins’ words”

In his younger years, Vlad was a professional basketball player, constantly surrounded by teammates, coaches and roaring crowds. Over time, however, he noticed that something was wrong with his hearing. He believed his hearing loss was caused by a possible unnoticed hit while playing basketball.

Vlad had tried hearing aids before, but they never worked properly. They were constantly in for repairs, unreliable and left him frustrated. The struggle extended to his professional life – working in IT from home meant virtual meetings, phone calls, and staying sharp in a fast-paced environment. But without properly functioning hearing aids, even the simplest conversations drained his energy.

A better hearing

Things took a turn for the better when a friend recommended him to look into newer options within the WSA product brands. He was skeptical at first but began researching our hearing aids. He wanted a device that could keep up with the lifestyle of a man in his thirties – one that was durable, adaptable and comfortable for daily use.

In late 2023, Vlad’s wife urged him to take the next step. She saw the toll his hearing loss was taking on him – how he strained to hear the soft cries of their newborn twins. With the help of a friend, she contacted the WSA store in Lynge, Denmark, and arranged for a visit.

A direct flight from Bucharest to Copenhagen and a quick appointment later, Vlad was fitted with the latest Signia IX hearing aids. The difference was immediate. He could effortlessly follow conversations, respond in real time and participate in social interactions without second-guessing himself.

“Before my new Signia hearing aids, I struggled to follow conversations at home, at work and with friends, often feeling disconnected and hesitant to speak for fear of misunderstanding. Signia hearing aids now help me clearly understand my toddler twins’ words and it has given me an incredible sense of confidence and joy,” says Vlad.

More than a year later, Vlad’s hearing aids continue to be a game changer. Aside from a minor issue with the receivers, his devices continue to work seamlessly. He planned to return to Lynge for a routine check-up, but his daily life had already improved beyond what he had imagined.
