The Working Father Who Found His Voice Again: A HearFon Success Story

I Wasn’t Quiet — I Just Couldn’t Hear.

Meet Sanjay, a 42-year-old mid-level corporate executive, was once known for his quick thinking and confident voice in meetings. But over the past few years, he found himself shrinking into silence during discussions.

He assumed it was stress or fatigue. But the truth ran deeper: Sanjay was gradually losing his hearing.

“I’d ask people to repeat things. I’d smile and nod in group conversations even when I didn’t fully follow. Over time, I started skipping calls and avoiding presentations. I felt like I was fading into the background.”

Like many others, Sanjay didn’t associate hearing loss with someone his age. It felt like an “old person’s issue.” But subtle signs kept building — the TV volume creeping up, missed cues from his children, and misunderstandings at work. At his wife’s gentle urging, he finally decided to consult a specialist.

The Turning Point

At HearFon, Sanjay underwent a thorough hearing evaluation. The diagnosis was clear: moderate sensorineural hearing loss in both ears.

“I was shocked. But more than that, I felt relieved. There was a name to what I was going through.”

Following personalized counselling, Sanjay was offered a hearing aid trial. The result?

“At the clinic, I heard the fan, the receptionist’s voice, even my own footsteps differently. It was surreal.”

We fitted Sanjay with a discreet receiver-in-canal (RIC) hearing aid, chosen to suit his active professional lifestyle. Within a week, the change was visible.

“I spoke in a team meeting for the first time in months — and I wasn’t second-guessing myself. My confidence is back.”

More Than Just Hearing — It’s About Reclaiming Identity

Hearing loss doesn’t discriminate by age. For professionals like Sanjay, the effects go far beyond communication. Confidence, leadership presence, self worth all take a hit.

Key Takeaways

• Hearing loss can be gradual and easy to miss.
• Left unaddressed, it can impact mental well-being and career growth.
