Changed our lives

more than 200 hearing centres nationwide. If a problem is identified, you can then try the device most suited to your needs.

Finding the perfect balance between performance and appearance is crucial, but as an independent company, Amplifon can offer a wide range of aids from leading manufacturers and each one is individually programmed to provide a bespoke hearing solution.

IIC — invisible in canal — aids are virtually invisible and address mild to moderate sensorineural loss and are specifically moulded to the shape of your ear.

Other in-the-ear aids are available alongside behind the ear devices (BTE) and can be used for more severe hearing losses. All can be individually programmed to suit personal preferences and lifestyles.

It takes around a week to create each bespoke hearing system and the fitting appointment will take another hour to ensure every aspect of the device is tuned and tailored to the individual.

Tazmeet says: “I really enjoy the first follow up visit when someone has been wearing their aids for a week or so. This check is important to ensure the hearing aids are providing maximum benefit, but it’s also lovely for us to hear what a huge difference having aids has made.

“There are so many sounds that people rediscover when they have hearing aids, but the one that almost every mentions is bird song.”
