My hearing aids are the most spectacular miracle anyone has given me.
~Eleanor, Powell, TN

It's great to be able to drop "Huh? What did you say?" from my vocabulary! I'll forever be in debt to you for being able to join in conversations again with friends and family.
~Lorenia, Knoxville, TN

I cannot begin to tell you what a blessing the Hearing and Speech Foundation has been to me! They restored my quality of life!
~Classie, Knoxville, TN

Words cannot express how thankful I am to the Foundation for helping me. I received two hearing aids in April and could not believe what I have been missing!
~Carrie, Maryville, TN

I just wanted to take a moment to say how much I appreciate having organizations such as yours in our community. Keep up the good work!
~Colleen, Friendsville, TN

Thanks to you, a whole new world has opened up for me. Not only is my hearing restored, but so is my confidence to join in conversations without fear of having missed something. You provide an invaluable service!
~Paula, Walland, TN

I would like to take this opportunity to express my profound appreciation to the Hearing and Speech Foundation, and also to the staff of Blount Hearing and Speech Services. I am grateful that the Good Lord gave these special people the intelligence and ability to “fix my head.” Thank you so much!
~Rusty, Madisonville, TN

I am profoundly hard of hearing. I could not work or keep my grandchildren because I could not hear. My life was awful, and I could not afford hearing aids. I know what these special people have done for me and others like me. I can never repay these dedicated, loving people. And nothing I write is ever going to give enough praise to this organization. Thank you, thank you, and thank you!
~Judy, Powell, TN

My hearing got so bad that I ignored people talking to me. I became a burden on my family and the joy of being around them was gone because communicating with them became a major problem. When I received my hearing aids, I could hear sounds I had not been able to for a long period of time. It was like being in a dream, but it was real. For as long as I live, I can never payoff my debt of gratitude to the Foundation. My million thanks to you all!
~Sinforosa , Maryville, TN

The day my hearing aids came in, I remember having them put in my ears and turned on for the first time. It was like I had been in a dark room for two years and then somebody turned on the light! I could hear, but what brought me the most joy was being able to hear my children’s voices again!
~Amy, Knoxville, TN

I want to thank the Foundation and Mr. John Berry with all my heart for my hearing aids. I enjoy hearing sounds I've not heard in years. May God bless you.
~Janice, Maryville, TN

Amazing! Helen Keller said, “Life is a daring adventure or none at all.” John Berry, BHSS staff and Foundation donors, you help me dare to live adventurously. Thank you.
~Beth, Knoxville, TN
