HEARING AID SELECTION, FITTING AND REHABILITATION
Hearing Aid Selection
Hearing aids are selected according to the audiogram to suit the specific needs of the hearing impaired. Currently, we stock various brands of programmable and digital hearing aids from Siemens, Rexton, Phonak, Widex, Oticon, Bernafon and GN Resound.
Hearing Aid Fitting
Different types of hearing aids are chosen to suit the user's needs. Please use your mouse to hover over the following types of hearing aids to have a closer look:
- Completely in the Canal (CIC)
- In the Canal (ITC)
- In the Ear (ITE)
- Behind the Ear (BTE)
- Pocket Aids
- Spectacle Aids
- Bone-conduction Aids
The appropriate hearing aid is chosen for the user after considering the following factors:
- Medical issues
- Anatomical structure of the ear
- Fine motor movements (Dexterity)
- Social Life
- Budget
Paediatric selection and fitting requires experience, skill and willingness to listen to post-fitting feedback from the parents, and to fine-tune complaints.
Hearing Aid Rehabilitation
We emphasize on pre-fitting counselling for first time users.
Our service does not just end at the hearing aid fitting stage. We encourage our customers (especially the first time hearing aid users) to come back to us periodically, for fine tuning of their hearing aids, if required, and for further post-fitting counselling.
Where adult users are able to provide us with a verbal feedback, paediatric users are habilitated under a different management:
- Auditory training
- Aided threshold assessment
- Hearing aid evaluation
- Follow-up / feedback sessions
- Speech Therapy.
Hearing Aid Accessories
We also provide a wide range of accessories to facilitate better and continual amplification for the hearing aid user. This includes:
- FM System (for clearer speech perception and learning)
- Compact Disc (CD) for auditory training.
- Ear protectors for industrial use
- Telecoil adapter for phones
- Hearing aid batteries
- Battery testers
- Hearing aid wax filters
- Ear tips
- Hearing aid tubings
Other accessories are available on order.
