As an independent supplier of hearing aids we are able to prescribe the best option to suit your specific hearing loss and personal requirements. Over the past few years, significant advances with hearing aid technology have provided hearing aid wearers with much greater satisfaction. Selecting the best hearing aid involves a “matching process” to ensure you are fitted with the most appropriate hearing system.
The matching process starts with the results of the hearing assessment. Once an updated audiogram has been recorded we need to establish your specific hearing needs relating to your lifestyle. We also need to decide upon the style of aid that you suits you and your needs best. This process can feel a little overwhelming initially, but we will guide you through the decisions taking into account all your needs including your financial considerations.
Today, most hearing aids use digital technology to process sound. Digital hearing aids manipulate the original sound to improve speech understanding, through sophisticated control of the sound signal inside the hearing aid.
Digital processing allows us to manipulate the incoming sound signal, tailoring the response to your specific hearing requirements. Advances in technology have allowed the hearing instruments to be smaller with increased processing capabilities, getting ever closer to natural hearing.
