Hello,

My name is Patricia. I am 79 years old and in good health except for a severe hearing loss. I have been deaf in my right ear for many years. I have been a patient of Dr. Kristin Wells and she fitted my left ear with a Diva Digital Hearing Aid so I would hear better. In June, I went to her for help with my hearing aid as I could not hear well at all. Kristin tested my ear and I had suffered a profound hearing loss. She suggested I might qualify for a Cochlear implant and made an appointment for me at Mayo Clinic. After three weeks of healing, the processor was connected to the implant. It was so exciting to hear from my deaf ear. It is truly a miracle. With the implant in my right ear and the hearing aid in my left ear, I am now able to converse with people and use the telephone.

Thank you, Dr. Kristin Wells!

Sincerely,
Patricia
