There are people of all ages in the ‘less than perfect hearing club’. It’s when you go around misunderstanding things, saying ‘what?’ or asking people to repeat themselves that you might begin to feel old or be seen as having changed. Hearing instruments help to keep you young and in the centre of things!

Yes, but they sound as though they are mumbling because you may not be able to hear some of the most important speech sounds. It is often the soft sounds like ‘s’, ‘f’ and ‘k’ that disappear first. They get ‘drowned out’ by the stronger vowel sounds and words start to sound muddled. Hearing aids can bring back those ‘lost’ sounds so that you don’t feel you’re missing half of what’s being said.

If that’s true it could be because you might be losing your ability to hearing high-frequency sounds. Digital hearing instruments can pick up those sounds and amplify them, without making the sounds you already hear quite well - like men’s voices - louder than they need to be.

You wouldn’t believe the advances in technology in the past few years. Digital hearing instruments automatically adjust the volume so that sounds stay clear and comfortable. You don’t have to do anything but pop them in and turn them on!

Not anymore! You can get digital hearing instruments that are so small they disappear almost completely in your ear canal. And slim and stylish Behind-the Ear models that come in all sorts of colours to match your hair or skin tone.

Yes, some of them do. Manufacturers have been working on that problem for years but the world’s leading hearing aid manufacturers have solved it. Most hearing instruments can monitor the sound signal and cancel out any whistling sounds before they even become audible.

Modern digital hearing instruments are completely automatic. They ensure that sounds remain audible and comfortable at all times. Even more important - they ensure that sounds never become uncomfortably loud. So you can relax and let the hearing device do the work!

Success depends on many factors. Today’ s hearing instruments are tailor-made to match your hearing loss, but it still takes time to get used to wearing them. Having them adjusted properly doesn’t take long. You just have to be patient and persistent, because your brain has to learn to identify all the sounds you have forgotten. Once you can do that again, it gets easier to focus on sounds you want to hear and filter out the rest.

Digital hearing instruments are available in all prices and performance categories to fit exactly your budget.
