"My only regret is not having done it sooner."
It’s something we hear so often at The Well Being by CUBEX.
Patients arrive believing they are living reasonably well with their hearing loss. They've developed coping strategies that make it possible to function, both professionally and socially. They position themselves carefully in restaurants Ask people to face them when speaking. Fll in the gaps. Laugh when everyone else laughs. And stoically work harder than those around them - simply to stay in the conversation.
“You listened...now it feels right.”
Debbie Vernon has been part of our audiology clinic world for over forty years.
Born profoundly deaf - one of the children once known as “rubella babies” - her journey with hearing began in the analogue era. Body-worn devices. Wires. Hard moulds.
And then, a moment of wonder.
Behind-the-ear hearing aids.
Sound, arriving fully, for the first time.
“Hearing speech in noise is the thing.”
Dr Garfield Davies has spent a lifetime understanding hearing.
A retired Ear, Nose & Throat specialist, Garfield first became connected to our hearing clinic journey in the 1960s, during the early days of the audiology clinic founded by Monty Shulberg.
Decades later, as a patient of Adam’s, he remains part of our story.
“Treated as a person - not a ‘case’...”
Dr Len has lived with hearing loss for over two decades.
What began as a subtle shift - missed questions in meetings, quieter voices at the back of the room - became something he adapted to, often without realising. Like many, he developed coping strategies: avoiding noisy environments, relying on context, working harder to stay engaged.
Auracast™ is growing. Public advocacy is helping it get there.
Auracast™ is beginning to appear in more and more public spaces around the world.
Airports. Theatres. Museums. Conference venues. Even cinemas.
It’s part of a new generation of Bluetooth technology designed to allow hearing aid users to connect directly to public audio streams - clearly, discreetly and with far less background strain.
If you’ve heard us mentioning Auracast recently, you might be wondering: “Will my hearing aids work with it?”
The Quiet Life. Three Minutes at a Time.
Previously, we explored meditation as a way of relating differently to a busy mind.
This time, something more personal.
In this short film, Jerusha Shulberg reflects on how meditation became part of her own life.
Not as a technique.
But as something she turned to.
Widex Allure: An Intelligent Kind of Quiet
More processing power. More features. Lots about noise reduction.
And then, occasionally, something more quietly considered lands, and (just as quietly) begs inspection.
The Widex Allure is one of those.
Living Out Loud: Andrew Hayward's Story.
There’s a kind of epiphany that lands in the first days of hearing well again - and feeling heard by a professional, empathic audiologist. A series of ‘little-big’ moments that all add up to what can only be described as life-changing.
