If you have a permanent hearing loss, usually the only solution for this is to be fitted with some hearing aids. In over 25 years, we are yet to meet a person who was happy to receive this news, so if you are putting off the idea of getting hearing aids, you are definitely not alone! However, we have over 12,000 very satisfied clients; most of which told us they wished they had addressed their hearing problem years ago.
Hearing aids have changed massively over the years: 25 years ago, we were adjusting hearing aids with screwdrivers! They were big, ugly things which advertised the fact you had a hearing problem and were only really helpful on a one to one basis. Today, hearing technology is quite phenomenal. The majority of the hearing aids we fit cannot be seen by most people: they tuck neatly in or on your ear and are so small and comfortable, you can forget you are wearing them after a very short time.
Most hearing aids now have Bluetooth technology with the ability to link up to cell-phones, iPads and other devices. This means you can stream sound directly to the hearing aids in the same way you would a pair a headphones; all the while keeping your ears open, should somebody come to talk to you while you are doing this.
We have TV streamers which can beam the sound from your TV directly to your hearing aids, allowing you to hear at whatever volume level you choose, irrespective of how loud the rest of the family find comfortable. You can even watch TV loud and clearly with the sound completely switched off in the room: great for if your partner wants to read, or get an early night.
Many hearing aids now are rechargeable, meaning you don’t have to deal with fiddly batteries. You simply place the aids in a small charging station at night and they are fully charged and ready to go the following morning. 3 hours of charging will give a full 24 hours of use, giving you confidence your hearing aids will not let you down throughout the day.
And, hearing aids now can provide a significant improvement in your ability to hear in a noisy situation. With the ability to select different listening programs for different listening situations or automatic adjustments, sensing your changes in environment; you will be able to rejoin the conversation with ease.
Hear Again can provide you with a free demonstration of the very latest hearing devices, and any hearing aids we fit are provided with a 6 week, no risk money back satisfaction guarantee. Our purpose made clinic on the upper floor of the Coast Plaza (directly opposite the top of the escalators) is open from Monday to Saturday and the friendly team can help you every step of the way.
