Having the speaker’s presentation going right into your hearing aids improves the quality of what you hear, what you retain and the amount of energy you expend to hear. I didn’t have to be in the first or second row to hear. I didn’t miss 30 or 40 percent of the presentation. I could experience what a normal hearing person could experience.

I used to clap when others clapped. I used to laugh when
others laughed though I usually didn't hear what it was about.
Now I hear every word in church. I absolutely love the hearing loop.

Juliette: I can't convey in words how I felt this morning in church. I heard every word, no matter where the clergy stood or sat. What a thrill to finally hear a sermon. And it was clear as a bell...no echo, no reverberations. I am so grateful to you. You have given me such a great gift and I am so grateful to you, and God! Sincerely, Barb

The hearing loop lets me hear the minister without any background noise. Best of all, I am able to do this with my 8 year old hearing aid without any extra cost! All I have to do in church is push a button and I can hear.

In my opinion, the loop is working very well at St Mary, Omro. I went to Ash Wednesday service and the whole homily went right in my hearing aid! Now I feel I have no excuse not to fast and abstain and repent. What fun is that going to be? And it's all your fault. ;o)
Take care and have a good weekend. Gwenn

Hi Juliette, I went to a service at St. Mary's church in Omro, which has been looped. It is wonderful. I could understand most everything, especially women's voices, which I usually have trouble with. Keep up the good work.

On December 19th I attended the Chamber Singers Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols. I was invited by a friend to attend this special event and it was my first time at Trinity Episcopal Church. I am 45 years old and have a severe hearing impairment. As I was struggling to hear the words of the speaker presenting the first lesson I remembered that my audiologist, Juliette, mentioned that a few churches in Oshkosh have recently installed the hearing loop system. I took a chance and pressed the button on my hearing aid to activiate the T-coil. I was pleasantly surprised that it worked and I heard every word of every speaker. As a hearing impaired person I miss out on so much and face challenging "hearing" situations everyday. I just want you to know that attending this event was one of the highlights of the holiday season.

I went to Calvary Lutheran Church on Feb 25 (Ash Wednesday. I sat in the center section on the left side and 3 rows from the back.
I could hear every word that was said. I turned off my hearing aid once and was amazed at the difference.
I think every church should get a loop system. It works great!

Hi Juliette & Max,
I wanted to phone you but the tears would not stop flowing. These were tears of happiness. One of the reasons I like the loop is because I made a new friend. This hearing loop has given me so much happiness in a short time. Sunday December 27th was my first experience with the new loop. Pastor Bartholomew walked down the center isle. He said to everyone quote: You can't see any wires or no external speakers but the people with hearing aids know what I am talking about. You can thank Hazel Mack. Then he said, Hazel can you hear? Yes ! Yes! was my answer. On the other side of the church sitting next to my friend Audrey, a stranger to me, said to Audrey: WHAT EVER THEY DID IT WORKED FOR ME TOO I can REALLY HEAR GOOD.

Thank you so much for helping people with hearing aids hear better. It made a big difference to my mother-in-law last month when she was able to hear every word at the confirmation service of our son at St Mary's in Winneconne.

My husband Ed and I both use hearing aids. Ed can now finally hear the homily! I asked him "Honey, can you hear what Father Jason is saying?" and he answered: "What the ...., of course!" We just love the loop system both at the church and for our TV at home! THANK YOU!

This hearing loop "perks my ears up". It is great to hear the Mass preachings, the Priest's & Sr. Pam's witty remarks and the homily at St Mary's church in Winneconne along with the religious songs. The best thing is that I can do all this without hearing the background noises or the babies crying!
But I am not alone: I know other hard of hearing people are enjoying the loop at church too!

On August 9th, 2009 I took my mother who lives in Oshkosh to St Katherine Drexel church, Kaukauna, for Mass. In her words, "I could hear every word, and this is the first time that's happened in years." She went on to say how much more she got out of the service and realized how much she had been missing. Thank you Juliette for your determination, and caring for those with hearing loss.

Juliette,I would be very pleased to offer my experience with the loop technology project for Trinity Episcopal Church in Oshkosh. I first needed to establish the need for the project by giving our church directory to Fox Valley Hearing Center. I gave the same directory to a friend, who gave it to his audiologist. I arrived at a number,no names, that could benefit from the project. I asked a few people, if they would like to help finance the idea, and they all did. I received permission from the Vestry to proceed. I volunteered to "help" Max with the installation, which was most interesting. He is a "real professional", and his engineering background didn't hurt either. We were finished in 1 1/2 days, and used it for the first time last Sunday--5-3-09. I told four people that we were going "live", and had four very positive responses after the service. We are very thankful to Juliette and Max for investing their time and effort in making this technology available to people like us with "batteries in our ears"

Dear Juliette,I wore my hearing aid for the Easter Service and to my surprise I heard every word the minister said. It sure made a difference to hear him instead of just sitting there wondering what he said. How did you ever think this one up? You both should get credit for that: Your husband a pat on the back and you a big kiss! Thanks again, Mrs. Jeanette Schlaak

Dear Juliette, Max, Father Patrick, and Holly,
Thank you all so much for helping make this hearing loop a reality for All Saints Episcopal Church in Appleton. This morning during the 10 a.m. service I was thrilled beyond imagination when I turned on my Telecoil sound and heard with such wonderful clarity the spoken word. Churches and many other large meeting areas invariably have so much background noise that even the best of hearing aids won't help unless the meeting room has a hearing loop installed and one is able to turn on a Telecoil. Now our church members, those of us who have only partially heard The Word of God, will think of you who helped make this project a reality. Hearing and understanding is so so wonderful.
Thank you so much,
Douglas H. Grant M.D.

My church recently installed a hearing loop which literally surrounds the sanctuary with sound. Heretofore, hearing impaired churchgoers were limited to using an FM receiver which picked up from the church's sound system. This new approach is vastly superior. I am delighted to be able to use my hearing aids' t-coil to hear everything in the service, often with more clarity and accuracy than even those with good hearing. For example, at a recent morning's service I could hear clearly the words of a woman who spoke into the mike in a whisper. Attendees with normal hearing told me after the service that they could not hear her. My thanks to all who have made this enhancement to my worship experience possible.

I am a member of Algoma Blvd. Church. What I experienced last Sunday was nothing short of a miracle. For the very first time in many, many years I was able to hear every single word said in church along with every note of music. I cannot express my thankfulness in words. It was truly one of my most memorable moments in my life and I felt "normal." Thank you. Chris Prust – Oshkosh
