Hearing Aid Products
Hearing Aids come in a wide variety of styles and technology levels and client’s sometimes ask us “What’s the best type of hearing aid for me?” The answer is different to everyone. Many factors are considered when selecting the “best” hearing aid for a particular individual including: type of hearing loss, the severity of the hearing loss, lifestyle, dexterity of the individual, comfort, cosmetic concerns, budget and technology. To inform people about digital hearing aids we like to break it down into four levels of technology.
Premium:
To hear the best you possibly can even in difficult listening situations you need to get premium hearing instruments. They use the best noise reduction and adaptive technologies. Premium instruments are recommended for people leading an active lifestyle, who enjoy social gatherings, and often find themselves in a noisy environment such as a restaurant.
Advanced:
Advanced hearing aids contain most of the high end features set of Premium hearing aids, however these features are slightly limited. Such feature limitations pertain mainly to the wireless interactivity of the aids when working as a pair. They are still well suited to people who lead a socially active lifestyle, but aim to save a bit of money.
Mid-Level:
Mid level instruments utilise the high end noise reduction and adaptive technologies feature set at their basic level. Their ability to suppress competing background noise and enhance the desired speech signal may be limited. They are well suited for people that lead a moderately active lifestyle and need assistance in moderately noisy environments. For example a place of worship or at the shops.
Basic:
Basic Hearing Instruments work very well in quiet environments and provide a limited amount of noise reduction in difficult listening situations. They are very good value for people who lead a relatively quiet lifestyle and rarely find themselves in noisy environments.

Hearing loss affects many aspects of your life including your professional and personal relationships. It prevents you from communicating well with people. Additionally, hearing loss has physical, emotional, mental and even spiritual effects. Regardless of your profession, impaired hearing can inhibit your productivity especially if you need to correspond with people personally.
Impaired hearing has negative mental, emotional, and physical effects because struggling to hear what others say can stress your body and mind. Everyday stress combined with hearing problems wears you out over time. It is important to address different stresses to maintain a healthier wellbeing.

We strictly follow an independent and local management system. This gives us the liberty to choose products based on their efficiency and effectiveness. Patients can ensure they only receive first-rate products and equipment to address their condition.
Before recommending any product to patients, we make sure people undergo thorough hearing examination. We test different aspects of hearing including functions related to it. This allows us to identify which assistive devices to use to improve and treat the patient’s condition. Even with our range of high-quality hearing products, we still provide a 30-day trial to give people the chance to test out and check if the device works according to their requirements.
