wp" 14-- Scugog Citizen -- Tuesday, March 16, 1993 Hearing Aid Centre puts the customer first Terry Faiers believes strongly that no matter what your business, personal attention to every customer is first and foremost. It's a philosophy he has followed over the last 20 years as the owner of City Hearing Aid Centre in Peterborough and Lindsay. And one that he brings to Port Perry with the opening of his third office in the Medical Centre on Paxton Street. Mr. Faiers is a Level 2 authorizer with the provincial Health Ministry and a registered hearing aid vendor/dispenser. He had been looking at the possibility of opening an office in the Port Perry area and when the chance came to do so at the Medical Centre he took it.

Using the latest in diagnostic equipment, City Hearing Aid Centre will conduct tests to determine what is causing hearing loss. If it is found to be from the nerve, an appropriate hearing aid (amplification) is fitted on a trial basis to see if hearing improves. If hearing loss is for another reason, a referral is made to a physician with a recommendation to see an ear specialist. A lot of the services at City Hearing Aid Centre is done free of charge, said Mr. Faiers. These include the initial consultation, the testing for hearing loss and the fitting of an aid on a trial basis. "If the client does not like the aid or can't get used to it, it can be returned within two weeks no questions asked," he said. Once a hearing aid has been purchased, City Hearing Aid Centre will service it free over its life-time. And they will handle repairs and minor things like 'cleaning or replacing weak or dead batteries. Loss of hearing is a serious matter. People aren't sure what is being said to them, they give the wrong answers to questions, they have to turn up the volume on radio or television. This can lead to embarrassment or even ridicule from others. Many have trouble dealing with it on an emotional basis as they feel it may be a sign of growing older, a loss of youth and vitality. They may be reluctant to wear a hearing aid because it is a visible reminder to themselves and others. Mr. Faiers knows that many clients need some compassion and understanding. "We want them to know that when they come to see us here, we understand." Hearing aids have come a long way from the bulky models that fit behind or in the ear. These days, some hearing aids are so small they fit almost into the ear canal and are practically invisible. Mr. Faiers operates the business with his wife Gayle who is completing a Master's Degree in audiology at the University of Western Ontario. Terry Faiers of City Hearing Aid Centre At the newly opened Port Perry office, Christine VanDerniet is working with Mr. Faiers as a consultant. City Hearing Aid Centre is committed to dealing with clients in a friendly, understanding yet thoroughly professional manner. Mr. Faiers would have it no other way.

This is an excellent team of young, talented players. They are coached and managed to perfection. The team won the semi finals after being down two games and came back to win the final three against Cobourg. Our boys felt proud and optimistic. Unfortunately, it was short-lived. On Saturday, March 6, the team travelled to Belleville for the first game of the Eastern Ontario finals. One might think that Port Perry, being a BB centre, would be playing the Belleville Novice A team, since their population is 37,000. Regrettably, the Auctioneers never had that chance. Their opponent is the Belleville AA team. I feel this is an injustice on the part of the Ontario Minor Hockey Assoc. Our boys put forth an excellent effort and showed much determination even though the scores didn't match. I also feel this is totally unfair not only to my son's team, but also for the Belleville AA team who should be challenging another AA team with their great hockey abilities. Cathy Skerratt, Port Perry.
