   Listening to others is what Dr. Cashman does best. As a Psychiatrist at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Dr. Frank Cashman depends on being able to hear his patients. That is why he was particularly concerned when he lost the hearing in this left ear about ten months ago.
   
   Initially he found that he could adapt to his hearing loss, relying on his good right ear, but he also began to experience some challenges. He could not hear people when they were seated on his left side. Knowing from which direction sounds were coming from posed another set of challenges, as did soft voices.

   "I need to be able to hear people," Dr. Cashman explains. "My profession is based on being able to hear conversations."
   
   Then Dr. Cashman tried Unitron Hearing's WiFi Mic system. When he wears WiFi Mic, he rarely has to move closer to his patients, adjust his position in meetings, or turn his head to hear.
   
   He enjoys conversations more because he can hear and participate more actively. He even enjoys listening to music with his portable radio, slipping it into his ear next to his earmold.
   
   "I am keen to wear it everyday because it helps me to hear," he says. "I want to have it on all of the time."
   
   Dr. Cashman finds WiFi Mic comfortable and easy to use. He can put it on and take it off easily, and he likes that it is more discreet than a wired system.
   
   "I find it very comfortable and it doesn't bother me at all. I don't even know that it is there," he explains.
   
   "I find it very comfortable and it doesn't bother me at all. I don't even know that it is there."
   
   Because of WiFi Mic, Dr. Cashman now enjoys being a passenger in a car. Before he would miss parts of the conversation since his left ear was always positioned closest to the driver. Now he can hear what his wife has to say. His wife also notices that she can walk on his left or right side and he can hear the conversation.
   
   "We can almost forget about the fact that he has a hearing loss with the exception of listening in very noisy places," she explains.
   
   "WiFi Mic has helped me out professionally speaking," Dr. Cashman says.
