David Temple – Conductor

Hearing loss for anyone can be hard to cope with but if you are conductor of music, it can be career threatening.  A couple of years ago, I acquired a hearing aid on the NHS which I was reasonably happy with but in the past year I have gone for a new ‘in-ear’ hearing aid from the North London Hearing clinic in Golders Green.  This has transformed my life and has restored my hearing to how it was when I was young man.

Not only is this brilliant in rehearsals and concerts but it makes a massive difference in recording sessions, where I can wear headphones as normal, without having to take my hearing aid in and out.  Regrets?…..  the only one is that I didn’t do it 5 years earlier.  It is not cheap but it improves your quality of life beyond words.
