Digital Hearing Aids
We fit premium digital hearing aids and take enormous pride in our dedicated, personalised service, selecting and fitting exactly the right hearing aids for you. The selection process that we offer is independent and is based on what product works best for your hearing care.
Hearing aids will not restore normal hearing but well fitted aids give enormous benefit and assist in delaying signs of ageing for many years to come. The days of large beige whistling hearing aids are well and truly over!
Hearing Evaluation
Some of the key lifestyle factors we consider include:
- What listening environments the hearing aid will be used for - e.g. home, television, parties, work, meetings, lectures, education
- Cosmetic requirements
- Handling requirements
- Need for FM capability (important in many educational and work-place settings)
- Need for Bluetooth connectivity
- Preference for on-board controls, or a separate remote control
