“ The ecstasy on a mother’s face when her child having speech and language delay utters first word, the happiness on someone’s grandfather’s face as he is able to re enter the ‘hearing world’ after fitting of hearing aid, seeing a person having stammering conversing with great confidence, receiving a message saying “you’re the reason my child call me ‘aai’ today”- can there be any other definition of work satisfaction?
