"I have seen what joy the gift of hearing can bring. 这是我最喜欢的经历之一 was reprogramming hearing aids on a man who was once a wonderful musician, but couldn’t st和 the sound of music with his new aids. After adding a music program 和 making some slight adjustments, we tried out the sound by pulling up a YouTube video. 我将 never forget the look on his face when the first chords of Willie Nelson’s “Always 在我的脑海里”. Giving the gift of hearing is life changing, for both those receiving 关怀和给予关怀的人."
