Benefits of home visits and impartial advice

Let’s take a look at some of the most common advantages of hearing healthcare home visits below:

• The majority of appointments with hearing aid dispensers are actually fine-tuning appointments. The best place to fine-tune a hearing aid is in an acoustic environment in which the aids will be worn – most commonly your home.
• If you’ve worn digital hearing aids before and had adjustments made in a shop or clinic you may appreciate that the full implication of these fine-tuning sessions is sometimes not realised until you get home (and then it’s too late).
• Many hearing aids today incorporate “wireless” technology. This can involve connecting accessories to your television or telephone etc. This cannot be done remotely unless you want to do it yourself.
• Many of our clients either do not wish to travel or cannot travel for necessary ongoing appointments. These appointments are included in the cost of the hearing aids.
• Whilst you may be in a position to travel right now, will things still be the same in five, six or so years time? Hearing aids should last at least 5 years and very often much longer. Aftercare is included for the life of the hearing aids.
• Our digital hearing aid audiologists are actually working in your vicinity all the time. Should you require urgent attention, we can respond very quickly.
• Most people’s homes are quiet enough to perform a hearing test.  This is done using headphones which eliminate most external noises. “Insert headphones” are used if noise levels are too high. High street shops and busy hospitals/clinics need soundproof booths – that’s why they usually use them.
• The equipment these days is very light and portable.  Many functions are carried out on a laptop computer.
