Help my kettle is TOO loud now!

Russell Hobbs Whisper quiet kettle perfect for cochlear implantees

Bilateral cochlear implantee, Faye Yarroll, found once she could hear one of her biggest nightmares was the noise in the kitchen when boiling the kettle!

With my Freedom processors on, the boiling kettle noise seemed to take over the whole kitchen and was a nightmare for me.

The problem was so bad that if someone was talking to me in the kitchen, at the same time that I was boiling the water, it was really hard to hear. If the phone rang, I would have to turn the kettle off first so that I could hear on the phone.

The task of “Boiling the Kettle” was always something I hated. My worst Kitchen Nightmare. Well, the days of boiling the kettle in the kitchen for those who experience similar problems, are over.

I have found a Whisper Quiet Kettle that is brilliant.

So much so, that I want to share this information with you in case anyone else experiences the Kitchen Nightmares that I have been putting up with for a long time.

If anyone needs a Whisper Quiet Kettle that you practically can’t even hear boiling, then take a look at “Russell Hobbs – Whisper Quiet Kettle. It is simply the best!  My thanks to Russell Hobbs for allowing me to hear in my kitchen again.! My Nightmares are now over!

Thank you,Faye Yarroll. I have only 1 Cochlear and I find it very annoying, I can imagine what it would be like with 2. Quite often I have to turn all aids off when the kettle is on, the TV is going and my wife is talking.
I will be grabbing a Rossell Hobbs.
