HEARING CARE OUR HOLISTIC FITTING METHOD We will demonstrate real hearing aids and you will be given a chart showing your hearing level. Assuming a hearing loss is detected and is not caused by excessive earwax etc, we explain the process of hearing rehabilitation and check that this matches your expectations. You’ll be fi tted straight away with open fi t hearing aids from our extensive stock of all brands available (if you choose) and allowed the opportunity to walk away wearing them for a week or so with no payment, commitment or signature. Or in the case of invisible hearing aids, we’ll take impressions of your ears and you’ll be fi tted about 8 days from then (these will be custom made for you with no commitment at all). First Evaluation • If you’ve been trialling open fi t hearing aids, we’ll see you about a week later. We can discuss how you have done and carry out fi ne-tuning changes to further improve your hearing in background noise. • Custom made hearing aids (such as the invisible types) will be specifi cally made to fi t your ears and later programmed and fi tted. You will then begin your free trial. • We will give you some guidance on cleaning the instruments and changing the wax fi lters. We shall attempt to keep your expectation level in line with what is realistic. Ongoing Care • After only another week or so, we’ll invite you again for fi ne tuning. Hopefully, we’ll be getting close to perfection by now. This condensed series of appointments makes sure everything is fresh in our minds and tends to help guarantee successful outcomes. Third Evaluation • We’ll see you 2 weeks later to offer you an opportunity to review the fi ne-tuning again. And we’ll see you again within the next three months to check on your continued progress and satisfaction, and encourage you to see us at least once a year thereafter, if not more. Our process is unique, as far as we know. No one else delivers true evaluation...
