To further into the previous
entry of David Smith ( http://www.hearing-clear.com/2012/07/dont-let-hearing-loss-discourage-you.html
), he has proven that being 80-90 percent hard of hearing does not hold him
back from victory in life as well as in sports. The volleyball team is up to be
the first men’s team to win four Olympic gold medals and defend their title
twice. His only true enemy seems to be the sweat. During the real sweaty of the
games, his hearing aids will shut down, leaving him without being able to hear
vibrations from the cheer of the crowd and beating of the ball.
David can read lips but it can be very difficult with the
team moving around the court. The coach of the team has made a “David Smith
Rule” which the team abides every game. If David is going for a ball, the team
mates leave it so they don’t run into anybody.
The team is made of strong leveled athletes that can figure
it out. They understand each other and work well together. Even growing up, nothing
has ever held back David Smith. He attended a normal hearing school and at six
foot eight inches, an impressive jump and a well suited physicality, David is
extremely successful. He maintained a civil engineering degree from a regular
university as well as playing sports.
Hearing aids are allowing anyone
with a percentage of hearing loss to live a completely normal life. People are
able to follow their dreams and live life to the fullest when they thought
hearing loss wouldn’t allow them to. Finding the perfect hearing aid to accommodate
your life activities will change your life for the better. All you have to do
is make the first step.
