PASSION.... With over forty years as a hearing health care professional, Mr. Lachapelle sure has a lot of stories. One of my favourites is when Mr. Lachapelle showed up for a house call to perform a hearing exam and informed the patient that the kitchen table would do just fine for the test. When Mr. Lachapelle went out to his car to get the rest of the equipment for the test he was a little shocked to find the gentleman laying flat out on the kitchen table... But my favour...ite story is how Mr. Lachapelle knew that he had found his life's work. While fitting his very first set of heaing aids, the patient began to cry and looked toward his wife and said, "I can hear you!" Then the wife began to cry. Tears of pure joy. When Mr. Lachapelle felt tears running down his own face he knew absolutely that he had found his calling. His passion. SERIOUSNESS.... In the past twenty years there has been much research concerning the effects of hearing loss. We now know that hearing loss is so much more then a social issue. Anxiety, depression, isolation, higher risk of falling, and higher risk of dementia to name a few. John Hopkins University along with The National Institue on Aging recently completed a ten year study on hearing loss. What they learned was that those who suffered untreated hearing loss had a one cubic inch more brain shrinkage each year then those without hearing loss! Hearing loss is serious. Please contact your local hearing health care professional and take the first step if you think you may have hearing loss. Always be supportive if you know somebody thay may be putting off getting help. The first step is the hardest. But the rewards are endless.
