Mathew followed Silvia to another room at the back of her office.
It was a small examination room, with cream-white walls, and a patient bed in the center. He also spotted a sink, and a series of cabinets and drawers attached to the walls.
~Bubuum. Bubuum.
Mathew's heart drummed wildly, as he watched Silvia take out a small box from one of the drawers.
It had his name on it.
Silvia smiled lightly while cleaning Mathew's ear with cotton swabs and several cleaning fluids. "Mr. Mathew, as agreed, you'll be receiving your hearing aid, which is a behind the ear (BTE) type. Before I let you go on your way, I still have to ensure that you're comfortable with this type."
Emily frowned. "Doctor, how many types are there?"
"Four... The first type is called ITE (in the ear), which sits comfortably inside the ear."
"So they are similar to the earphones used for iPods?"
"Well, yes... But these are wireless. They don't have long wires."
