At 92, Elijah Stefano became one of the oldest orchestra conductors to date. Spreading his music all around the world for over 60 years all thanks to his brilliant talent and ‘life companion’.
“Everyone will experience hearing loss at some point in their life.”
“I’m 92 now and I’m so lucky to be able to hear perfectly!” – Mr. Stefano
And he has an amazing story to tell.
Mr. Stefano had a rough childhood, but music kept him safe. His passion in music grew so deep it became a part of his life and successfully achieved his biggest dream – becoming an orchestra conductor.
But everything changed when he turned 59.
“When I was performing in one of the greatest opera houses around, I couldn’t hear the pitch as easily as before.”
“Performers started playing off-beat…then everything was a mess thanks to my bad hearing.”
“I’ve never been so embarrassed in front of thousands of people.”
“It was the most painful hour of my life.” – Mr. Stefano
For months, he tried everything possible to recover his hearing. It began with deep cleaning and using top quality hearing aids. Then countless rounds of sound therapy sessions.
Without any success, he invested in costly surgical treatments. He even tried to get cochlear implants but there was not one suitable donor.
Doctors decided that there’s ‘no way out’ as it is all part of aging.
“One night, my family and I were having dinner. Nobody spoke to me because I have trouble hearing.”
“My granddaughter who I adore so much, left me alone.”
“I realized then my biggest fear isn’t losing touch with my music but feeling alone even when I'm with my loved ones.”
“It absolutely broke me. I didn’t know what to do.” – Mr. Stefano
His suffering got worse when severe depression hit. He was all ready to give up when a phone call came unexpectedly.
A retired ear specialist came across his story on the news. Touched by his story, he decided to reach out to Mr. Stefano.
“It was a short meet and I could barely hear what he said but from parts of our conversation, he claims to have the answer.”
“He handed me this really small device. It looked like a hearing aid but there’s something special about it. At first I was a little skeptical of how effective it can be but I went ahead and put them in my ears and it slots in perfectly.”
“The magic happens when it’s turned on.”
“EVERYTHING started coming back, I can even hear my breath! I’m hearing words with such clarity like I’m still in my 20s!”
“I picked up my violin and for the first time in years, I heard music again.”
The ear specialist that approached him is the renowned Dr. Roberts. Dr. Roberts have spent over 40 years in the space and aircraft industry developing cutting edge communications systems.
He teamed up with a group of brilliant minds and discovered Amphear™.
“Unlike any standard issue hearing aids, Amphear™ does not amplify sounds as it will further damage our ears.”
“Instead it operates with Air Conduction Technology designed to analyze and decode sound vibrations before sending the converted signals to the brain.”
“All while preventing any side effects to our ears.” – Dr. Roberts
It gave him his music and family back. Then he got back to conducting orchestras in no time. With his newfound drive, his pitch perfect hearing helped him built his name.
Mr. Stefano became globally respected for not only his talents but his will to continue performing for as long as he lived.
He eventually performed in the same opera theatre where his tragedy first began and received the longest standing ovation EVER in his career.
"I may have lived for long, but I’ve never felt so alive."
“This is by far the best thing of my life.”
I couldn’t believe how this has changed my life forever.” – Mr. Stefano
Elijah Stefano’s life changing journey is just one of the many success stories of Amphear™.
