Lynn Boniface

As an experienced wearer, Lynn knows hearing aids. Lynn has worn hearing instruments since she was ten years old, and she has tried many different types, including digital aids.

When working at a busy pharmacy, Lynn was missing parts of conversations with her previous hearing aids, especially when trying to hear elderly people or children’s voices. When wearing her hearing aids in the car or outdoors, she experienced a lot of feedback. She also missed high frequency sounds like her doorbell ringing, the buzzer on her washer and dryer, and the whistle of her kettle boiling. Lynn wanted hearing aids that could offer her a clear listening experience in many different environments.

When Lynn was fit with binaural Yuu™ In-The-Ear hearing instruments, she experienced an immediate improvement in her ability to hear others. She could hear customers at work more easily both in person and when listening on the telephone.

"The clarity is awesome. I am able to hear conversations more easily and sounds that I have not heard before, such as the birds singing in my backyard. After I set up my phone, I could hear conversations clearly, so much better than my previous hearing aids. Even the sound of my voice is more natural."

Lynn appreciated how her Yuu hearing instruments managed background noise without impacting her ability to hear speech.

"While driving in my car with the windows down, I was still able to hear the music lyrics from my car radio clearly. I have never experienced this before," Lynn explains. In addition, she noticed that she was able to locate the origin of environmental sounds such as fire truck and ambulance sirens.

With her Yuu hearing instruments, Lynn rarely had to make any manual adjustments. Yuu’s automatic program made "appropriate and unnoticeable adjustments" when she moved from one listening environment to another.

At a recent golf tournament, she was able to enjoy the golf game, rather than worrying about the sound of the wind being amplified in her ears. Her husband has also noticed that she is hearing things without straining, and that both her voice and the television volume have decreased in volume considerably.

"The Yuu hearing aids are phenomenal. I adjusted to them right away, and they are just wonderful. They have given me a greater appreciation of life and the sounds that are out there. They really prove that hearing aids can improve your quality of life."
