Will I be able to hear my family?
With the correct hearing aid fitted, absolutely!
Research shows that partners of a person with hearing loss often feel frustrated and upset because they are the ones constantly having to repeat themselves or cope with the TV being louder and possibly uncomfortable for them. They also sometimes feel like they have to fill in the gaps for their partner with a hearing loss in conversations when they are out socially so that they don’t miss out. This can put pressure on both the person with a loss and their partner.
Hearing aids can help. Many a client has commented that having better hearing has “saved their marriage.”

Will I hear better in background noise?
This is the most common problem that a person with hearing loss faces. The background noise overrides the conversation and you can hear the people talking but the actual words are not clear.
Hearing aids today use sophisticated microphone technology which can focus and zoom in on speech in noise. They also have Noise Reduction settings which can make listening much more comfortable in noise. Of course, it is very important to be realistic about expectations of what hearing aids can do in noise. Hearing aids will never ‘cut out’ all the background noise. Background noise is present, it creates ambience when in a restaurant and without it, the sound can appear empty.
But when hearing aids are correctly fitted by an Audiologist, your ability to enjoy parties, going out for dinner and family gatherings again will be improved significantly. And we can prove it. With your hearing consultation, we test your ability to hear in noise without hearing aids and then how well you hear wearing your customised hearing aids.
