Breast Cancer Survivor Wins Hearing Aid

In honor of October’s National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Advanced Hearing Center, which has a location at North Shore Towers, gave an Octicon Delta 6000 “Think Pink” hearing aid to a breast cancer survivor.
Throughout the month, breast cancer survivors were able to enter into a raffle at Advanced Hearing Center to potentially win the hearing aid. Nancy Randall, who suffered from hearing loss in 1997 after getting Meniere’s Disease, was selected as the winner. She expressed her gratitude to the center’s audiologists and co-owners, Dr. Amy Sapodin and Dr. Alison Hoffmann.
“After denying my hearing loss for so many years, what a difference the hearing aid is making in my life,” Randall said. “Now I can hear everything in a restaurant or just conversing with my family, including [my] grandchildren who generally speak so quickly, and friends don’t have to constantly say excuse me when I couldn’t understand them.”
Randall had a lumpectomy in 1999. In 2003, she also had a portion of her right lung removed.
“We’re so pleased to offer her the chance to participate again in all of the activities she’s been denying herself for the last 10 years,” Sapodin said.
Advanced Hearing Center has an office in Albertson and also in the arcade of Building Three at North Shore Towers.
