Why hearing?

What does John love about his career? Being excited to see people’s reactions to their new improved hearing brings him great pleasure. Helping them in hearing their spouses, friends, and grandchildren with properly fitted hearing aids brings him great satisfaction. Seeing excited eyes, the occasional tear, and the changes in connecting generations with conversations makes this new adventure worth while!
