“I’ve been wearing in the ear
type hearing aids for several
years but have just decided
to switch to behind the ear. I
really wasn’t sure if it would
be the right decision; my
main concern was how they
look, with my short (balding)
hair there’s no hiding place!
A REVIEW ABOUT
OPN AND ONE OF
OUR PARTNERS,
RJD HEARING CARE,
BASED IN YORKSHIRE
Anyway after a trial period
I’m pleased to say the
behind the ear aids are a
great improvement. I work
in an office and hearing my
colleagues both face to face
and via telephone is very
important. The sound quality
is clear and natural. Another
important element is being
able to communicate in social
situations, such as in a group
at a restaurant. I noticed with
my previous hearing aids, I did
struggle with the background
noise and could only feel
confident to speak to the
person immediately opposite
or adjacent. The new hearing
aids are allowing me to pick
up on conversations across a
large table and they seem to
filter the interfering noise.
My Oticon OPN hearing
aids also have additional
features including Bluetooth
connectivity to my mobile
phone so I’m able to take
calls and listen to music
without having to use
headphones – a real bonus!
I think the stereotypical image
of hearing aids is changing.
My pair of hearing aids are
high end technology, they
look advanced but also I think
the prevalence of Bluetooth
headphones and other similar
technology means wearing
such a device, even as a
‘younger’ person, is ‘normal’.
I trust Rob because I’ve always
felt I’ve received appropriate
and considered advice. This is
the third pair of hearing aids
I’ve bought from Rob.

On each occasion we’ve
focused on finding the best
solution – through discussing
the merits of various
manufacturers, types of hearing
aid and matching this with the
condition of my hearing loss.
When buying the most recent
pair, Rob and I met on several
occasions, looking at the
results of the trial, tweaking
the set-up of the hearing
aids and making sure I was
comfortable with the hearing
aids prior to purchasing.
Over the years I’ve received
regular check in calls from
Rob and team. I haven’t used
Rob’s after sales care service
as much as I probably should
have done (Rob told me off
recently!) but I know he’s only
a phone call away and would
be available immediately
if I needed support.
My sister also has hearing
aids supplied by Rob and
we both agree we’re lucky
to have found him and have
really benefitted from the
service he has provided.”
