A Funny Thing
Happened on the Way
to Better Hearing…
SOME YEARS BACK, ONE OF OUR HEARING AID USERS (WHO WAS 88 AT THE TIME) RECALLED AN INCIDENT HE HAD EXPERIENCED AS A YOUTH.
NEEL REMEMBERED THAT ONE DAY HE
CAME HOME FROM SCHOOL VERY
UPSET AND ANNOUNCED HE WOULD
NOT GO BACK TO SCHOOL AGAIN!
WHEN HIS MOTHER QUESTIONED HIM,
HE TOLD HER, “BECAUSE MY TEACHER
CALLED ME A SCURVY ELEPHANT!”
FUMING, HIS MOTHER CONFRONTED THE TEACHER AT SCHOOL THE NEXT DAY AND DEMANDED TO KNOW WHY SHE WOULD CALL HER SON NAMES. THE TEACHER, STARTLED AND CONFUSED BY THE ACCUSATION, DENIED THAT SHE HAD CALLED NEEL AN OFFENSIVE NAME.
REVIEWING THE PREVIOUS DAY’S EVENTS,
THE TEACHER FINALLY REMEMBERED THAT
SHE HAD CALLED THE YOUNG LAD “A
DISTURBING ELEMENT” FOR DISRUPTING
THE CLASS, NOT A “SCURVY ELEPHANT”.
ALTHOUGH WE CAN CHUCKLE AT THIS MISUNDERSTANDING, THE INCIDENT OBVIOUSLY AFFECTED YOUNG NEEL SO DEEPLY THAT HE STILL RECALLED IT 80 YEARS LATER AS A TIME OF EMBARRASSMENT AND HUMILIATION. HEARING AIDS WERE NOT AVAILABLE TO NEEL UNTIL MANY YEARS LATER, BUT THE EARLY EMBARRASSMENTS OF HIS HEARING LOSS HAD ALREADY LEFT THEIR MARK.

What Our Patients
Have to Say:
‘Dear Stuart:
I have had three pairs of hearing
aids from you in the past 15
years. My newest ones, made by
Audibel, are without a doubt the
best ones I have had. I’m able to
control both the sound and the
background noise. The lifetime
free service is also a plus. I’m so
glad I decided to invest in them.’
Roy L. Hurlbut – San Clemente
“Advanced Ear Care has always
provided me with prompt and
courteous service. Their overall
service has been unquestionably
superb. Frankly, I don’t know
what I would have done without
(them). I have a tremendous
amount of faith and trust in
Stuart and his staff.”
Margaret Knight – Lake Forest
“One unexpected surprise with
my new hearing aids is that I am
able to wear them 12-18 hours a
day without any discomfort.”
Rodney Sells – Laguna Hills

BuddyBuddyBuddyBuddy has been a part of the Spencer clan for three years. He was the last “item”up for bid at a fundraiser auction the Spencers
fall 2006, and from the moment Stuart and his boys saw
eyebrows arched playfully over eager black eyes, they were hooked. His little pink tongue poking out from beneath a curly black and white moustache was the clincher and the bidding war was on, despite Mariela’s protests.
After winning the bid for the cute little Shih Tsu puppy, the 3 guys in the Spencer SUV had a grand time heading home with their new family member. Mariela, a busy mother of two very little guys, was thinking of all the extra work she’d have trying to housetrain the pup shoes she’d lose in the process. Even though the guys assured her THEY would take care of him, as any wife and mother knows: NOT!
Stuart’s son # 2, Luke, was age six and son #3, Daniel, was two when puppy came home. They tried out a few different names but when
Luke started calling him “Bud“Bud“Bud“Buddy”,dy”,dy”,dy”, well, it took. Of course, at the time, Luke called everyone “Buddy”: the family turtles, their snake, friends, anyone. But it stuck to the new puppy like flypaper,and the name really fits. He is the family “bud”.
Although BuddyBuddyBuddyBuddy loves the Spencer home, he just the world around him and he runs away regularly. So far, the
neighborhood cheerfully returns BuddyBuddyBuddyBuddy to his family, much to Mariela’schagrin. She keeps hoping he’ll run away and find a family who wants to keep him rather than return him.
Here’s a picture of Buddy Buddy Buddy Buddy in December, dressed in his red Christ

Just between you and me, I believe Mariela’s bark is worse than her
bite where BuddyBuddyBuddyBuddy is concerned. I really think she secretly adores but won’t ‘fess up to it for, oh…maybe a few more years.

WHAT ABOUT THE “LYRIC” HEARING AID?
This is a question we hear regularly at Advanced Ear Care. Here
Stuart will give some background on what the “Lyric” is all about:
“At this time there are a number of “gimmicky” hearing products that companies are spending a fortune on to entice you to try them. The first that comes to mind is a product called the “Lyric”. This is a small hearing device that is inserted deep into your ear canal. The company claims it will last 3ever having to change the battery or extract it from your ear. The big attraction to this product is proclaimed ease of use. 85% of this product’s appeal is the battery issue. (However, I have yet to see a battery last three months).
“One person I know had the battery go dead while on a trip and could not find anyone that handled the product to remove it for him. He had to continue wearing the device, causing an annoying earplug affeunable to communicate with those around him for the remainder of his visit. Needless to say, he had it removed when he returned and has never worn it again.
“The circuit is an old-fashioned analog technology that we were fitting 10years ago. I have done deep-in-the-canal fittings for patients and understand the strategy of getting the hearing device deep into the canal. This product idea is not anything new, the battery life claim being the exception. It cannot be worn while swimming, in a spa or steam room. Perspiration in hot weather causes difficulties and accelerated earwax causes itching which requires a visit to have the Lyric removed for ear cleaning. There are reports thatLyric has had to be removed for a time in order to let the ear “air out” as infection has occurred.
“The Lyric concept is designed with a “subscription” (think “contract” or “program”) attached to it. The idea is to sign up for an annugiving you four device changes per year. At the end of the subscription period, you sign a new contract committing to the next twelve months at a hefty price tag of about $3300.00 EVERY YEAR. A traditional hearing aid can serve you wellfor a minimum of five years, and most people replace traditional aids every eightto-ten years. If you do the math, you can see the striking cost comparison. For argument’s sake, using a six-year period, the Lyric will cost you just under $20,000 compared to $4-6,000. for traditional style aids. For that kind of money, I can think of a lot of reasons to change my own battery.
“I have seen ear canals torn up and bruised very badly on unsuccessful fittings. And even though the little “ear caps” you wear when you take a shower are very cute, they can fill with water during showering which can cause a “pooling” effect. Obviously, these conditions will rust and/or damage the battery and electronics.

HAPPY NEW YEAR Greetings to Everyone!
Well, we made it through 2009 and it looks like most
everyone is breathing a sigh of relief that the first decade of the 21st
century is behind us. We hope you all were able to enjoy some part of
the end-of-the year festivities, joining family, friends and others in some
way to say “good-bye” to 2009 and “hello” to a brand new year.
We are excited to see what the new decade brings to the table; the
winds of expectation seem to be blowing in so many directions right now,
we can only wait to see how the good Lord lets it all play out.
One thing we can be sure of: there is always something new to help you
hear better. Among other manufacturers’ events, I will be going to an
Audibel seminar later this month and look forward to learning “what’s
new for 2010” in the hearing industry. There’s been much anticipation
for the “swipe” technology and other innovations that I am excited to
learn about so I can tell you “what’s new now”.
As soon as we learn about something “new, different and exciting”,
we’ll let you know. So, keep your ears open (no pun intended) for
our updates. We’ll keep you posted in our newsletters, on our
website, in our television ads, and on our “music on hold” recordings,
so keep watching and listening in 2010!
In the meantime, on behalf of all of us at Advanced Ear Care, I wish you
well. May God bless you with health and happiness in the days ahead.
