“It’s like getting high quality stereo sound, like Bang & Olufsen!”

Britt Vangsbaek has been wearing hearing devices for years, but it was only recently that she discovered just how good they can sound.

Name: Britt Vangsbaek Age: 50 Profession: Church verger Indication: Conductive hearing loss in both ears as a result of chronic middle ear infections (Chronic Otitis Media). Sound processors: Ponto Pro

“Ponto Pro is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced,” says Britt. “My previous devices were pretty good, but this is like getting high quality stereo sound, like Bang & Olufsen! The sound is clearer, broader and deeper. Speech comes through more clearly too.”

Hearing in stereo

Realizing the importance of being able to hear in stereo, Britt asked for a second device. “I want to be able to locate sounds – particularly in traffic. I want to know whether cars are coming from the right or left, or whether an ambulance is approaching from the front or behind.”

Being patient

Britt feels that the benefits of wearing bone anchored solutions far outweigh the disadvantages. “It was important to be patient and to use them every day because I felt I had to learn to hear in another way,” she explains. Having a system that can be fine-tuned to match your individual hearing needs is a huge help of course.”

“Ponto is a gift”

When I think of all the opportunities I believed I’d never be able to take advantage of, I’m amazed. Ponto Pro has opened up my world and expanded my horizons. It is such a gift.”
