I THINK I NEED A
HEARING AID…
It can take people a while to admit they
need a hearing aid so reaching out is a
huge step.
Chances are, you're here because:
n You’ve become part of the “Ay?” team
n People seem to mumble a lot
n You crank up the volume or use subtitles
...on TV
n You’re relying on lip-reading
n You have a ringing or buzzing (tinnitus) with
...your hearing loss
completely invisible.
n Connectivity – many modern hearing
devices have direct connectivity to your
phone, tv or tablet. This allows you to make
phone calls or listen to your favourite music
or tv programs directly through your hearing
aids and so much clearer!
n Apps – most hearing aids now have a free
app to download to your smartphone. You
can control volume, tone and even
background noise at the touch of a button.
Your lifestyle and listening needs are unique
to you. A tailored, individualised approach to
hearing health care is crucial to achieving
your hearing goals. That’s exactly what we
provide at Hear In.
Clients often say, ‘I’m coping fine, I hear what
I need to hear’. Their hearing may feel dull or
muffled and assume it’s just wax when in fact
their ears are perfectly clear. If ‘things are
loud enough but not clear’ it’s a sign that it’s
time to have your hearing tested. With
hearing aids things become clear, the ‘fog’ is
lifted! Don’t settle for coping, enjoy the
fullness of life.
So, who do you turn to and trust - NHS or
private?
We are lucky to have a NHS hearing aid
service in the UK. Why choose to go
privately for your hearing healthcare? The
biggest difference between the NHS and
private sector is choice. NHS are often
limited to 2-3 hearing aids using technology
up to 4 years old.
As an independent hearing care service, we
can choose from 80 - 120 hearing aids using
the latest technology from leading
manufacturers.
n Style – there are 3 main styles of hearing
aids: discrete behind the ear (available in a
choice of colours), custom made and
During your hearing consultation, our expert
audiologists will look at your listening needs
and test results and ask about your personal
and lifestyle needs. Our excellent aftercare
service ensures that we are with you every
step of the way to get the very best from
your new hearing aids.
