Small electronic devices that improve hearing by amplifying sound, making it easier for people with hearing loss to communicate and enjoy daily activities.

Hearing Aid Fitting

Let us help you experience clearer hearing with the most advanced fitting technology.
As part of our hearing aid fitting process, we use Real-Ear Measurements to ensure the perfect adjustment for your unique hearing needs.

During this procedure, a small microphone is gently placed in your ear canal alongside the hearing aid. While you listen to recorded speech sounds, our hearing specialist measures the exact sound levels reaching your ear, allowing for precise, personalised fine-tuning.

Hearing Aid Types

There are many distinctive designs and types of hearing aids to counter hearing loss. What each hearing aid can accomplish for you varies only a little. Therefore, the results of your hearing test and your way of living will determine what type of hearing aid is best for you.

BTE Hearing Aids

A behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aid lies behind the ear while hooking over the top. They are easy and quick to fit.

RIC Hearing Aids

A Receiver-in-canal (RIC) hearing aid lies behind your ear and transmits sound through a little tube that enters your ear canal. They are smaller than a standard hearing aid, but still host a variety of features.

CIC Hearing Aids

The completely-in-canal (CIC) hearing aids are a discreet and more cost-effective choice. CIC hearing aids are specifically fitted to your individual anatomy using an ear canal impression. CIC hearing aids with Bluetooth are also available.

ITC Hearing Aids

ITC hearing aids  are remarkably similar to the ITE hearing aids with the exception that they are a bit smaller and only fit in the bottom part of your ear, filling the ear canal.

ITE Hearing Aids

ITE hearing aids  include all types that are worn completely in the ear and not behind the ear.

IIC Hearing Aids

Invisible In the Ear Canal (IIC) are the smallest custom hearing aids available and are designed and molded to fit perfectly inside your ear canal – making them nearly undetectable to everyone around you, aside from a small wire to help you easily insert and remove them.
