Once we are happy with the health of your ears, you will be tested in our sound booth, by the state of the art computerised audiometer, which presents a series of tones, growing ever fainter, which you have to respond to with a push button. This will give us the pure-tone threshold, or the faintest sounds that you can hear, and from this we will be able to establish the extent of your hearing loss.

Once we have this data, plus some extra test data we can discuss with you the types of hearing aids which may suit you and your needs. The hearing test normally takes 30-35mins.

We normally carry some demonstration instruments in stock, which will allow us then to put them on you and show you the options open to you from our cheapest hearing aids through to our premium hearing instruments. We can also show you the different styles of instruments such as the small discrete completely in the canal hearing aids (CIC), receiver in the ear (RITE), almost invisible systems such as the soundlens or IIC hearing aids.

From this point we normally take ear impressions (for the manufacture of your in the ear hearing aid), or measure your ear size for a receiver in the canal model,  and then send the order away. Once you new hearing aid is back wth us, we contact you and meet again for a fitting. This usually includes the latest speech mapping procedures, which actually measures the output of the hearing aids whilst fitted in your ear.

The process of rehabilitation has now begun, and you will be assisted along the way by us, all our pricing includes a 2, 3 or 5 year service package to give you complete peace of mind, all included in the price. Huge savings and discounts can be amade against many other providers.
