Barb Shortreed

Campaign Ambassador: Barb Shortreed

Barb’s mother had a history of hearing loss, and Barb herself experienced several ear infections during childhood. Despite being counseled that she would benefit from hearing aids, she could not afford them. She describes needing the TV volume at 100%. Phone conversations are a strain, causing her to miss key information, and she often asks her adult children to repeat themselves. Barb feels she is missing out on family conversations happening right in front of her.

Asked how receiving this award will make a difference in her life, she said: “My family is thrilled that I’ll finally be part of the conversation without having to repeat themselves”

Thanks to the Campaign for Better Hearing Give-back Program, Barbs has received a brand-new pair of hearing aids.
