Restoring Confidence: A Veteran’s Journey to Better Hearing with Hearco

At Hearco, nothing makes us prouder than seeing the life-changing impact that the right hearing technology can have. Recently, we had the privilege of working with Roy Charles Luckham, a Royal Navy veteran whose story was recently featured by Veterans Hearing Support.
The Story
Roy served as an Engine Room Artificer from 1957 to 1969. Years of exposure to high-intensity engine noise left him struggling with significant hearing loss. Like many veterans, Roy found that his hearing difficulties were leading to social isolation, a loss of confidence, and frustration during family gatherings.
The Hearco Solution
After Roy applied through the Veterans Hearing Support scheme, Hearco was selected to manage his care. Our lead audiologist conducted a comprehensive assessment to understand Roy’s specific needs and lifestyle. We recommended and fitted Roy with top-of-the-range Phonak hearing aids.
The Result
The transformation has been incredible. Roy reports a massive boost in confidence and is once again enjoying the sounds he had been missing for years. Whether it's a busy social setting or a quiet conversation at home, Roy is back in the room and fully engaged.
We are honoured to support our veteran community. If you are a veteran struggling with your hearing, or if you know someone who is, please get in touch with us at Hearco to see how we can help you access the support you deserve.
