Hearing aid is not a commercial item that you can buy according to your choice by looking into a price list; rather, it is a medical item. You must go through proper Audiological tests and only a qualified Audiologist can guide you to select a model for you, based on your test reports, need, budget and other cosmetic requirements

Latest digital technology has made hearing instruments much smaller and almost invisible. They have also become much more effective.

Remember

• Hearing loss is more noticeable than the hearing instrument.
• Hearing aid will stop auditory deprivation and preserve the remaining hearing ability.
• Overall, hearing aid will improve your quality of life.

A properly fitted and maintained hearing aid will not damage your hearing. In fact, the regular use of hearing aid can prevent deterioration of your brain’s ability to interpret sounds.

Newer digital hearing aid offer features such as multiple channels, programmes, direction ability and noise reduction, which greatly reduces the background noise.

Binaural hearing aid (i.e. hearing aid in both ears) helps us to locate from where sounds are coming and tell approximately how far away they are. Clinical studies report a higher level of satisfaction and better hearing in difficult listening situations.
