From the roar of a football match to the bustling noises of an overseas food market – a world of dull hearing was hard to imagine for 32-year-old, Cameron.
A primary school sports teacher by background, Cameron was diagnosed with otosclerosis at age 14, a form of abnormal bone growth within the middle ear that causes progressive hearing loss.
“My hearing was getting to a point where I was struggling – I was getting embarrassed asking people to constantly repeat themselves,” recalled Cameron.
“Awkwardly laughing to cover up the fact that I hadn’t actually heard or understood what someone was saying no longer cut it.”
Cameron was fitted with a hearing aid through Hear and Say to help overcome the issues that were impacting his daily life.
