Dear Selma,

When I came to you at Help in Hearing I knew I had chosen well from the moment I stepped through the door.

The assessment through to the fitting of the hearing aids was totally professional.

I am delighted with the aids and I am able to hear and converse with family and friends comfortably. I can also hear the sounds that I haven’t heard for a number of years.

I would not hesitate to recommend anyone to contact Help in Hearing. Many thanks for your help and advise.

Where to Buy the Best Hearing Aids in Windsor?

December 13th, 2011

We don’t need to tell you how essential hearing is to each and every person across the world. With sounds alone enough to create a vivid picture in one’s mind and the beauty of language allowing us to connect with others. If your own or a loved one’s hearing is failing, it is highly important to invest in the best hearing aids possible to ensure that this wonderfully important sense is kept. It is our belief here at Help in Hearing, that our skills and experience can provide you with the best hearing aids Windsor and the surrounding areas can offer.

Firstly, a hearing aid isn’t simply something you can look to buy, find the best model and then purchase at a shop, as each and every hearing aid has to be unique to the user and in tune their hearing – meaning that one person’s hearing aid wouldn’t necessarily work for someone else (just like lenses in a pair of specialised glasses).

This is why we offer the best hearing aids in Windsor, because we take the time and employ the skilled staff to ensure that every customer gets a bespoke hearing aid that only works for them and their hearing. The extensive process we undertake in fitting and fine-tuning our first class hearing aids include:

-    Free hearing tests and consultations

-    Friendly and independent advice with no obligation to buy

-    All aid (including digital hearing aids) come with a 60 day full refund policy if you are not completely happy, providing you with a great amount of time and a safety net in your investment
-    Free complete and ongoing aftercare service that truly is the best

As you can see, the time we at Help in Hearing take in providing our services will result in the best hearing aids Windsor money can buy, restoring your ability to enjoy all of your favourite sounds – from the beautiful music of Steinway pianos, to the voices of your loved ones.

Nano is Phonak’s latest product to be introduced to the market and is the perfect combination of maximum hearing performance and minimum size.

The micro technology used in its development, allows the aid to be placed deep down in the ear canal without discomfort. Its capabilities as a high class premium product consequently take it to another level above others on the market, and in particular should appeal to those either self or cosmetically conscious about wearing a hearing aid.

Which Hearing Aid is Best for Me?

November 17th, 2011

There is no need to live with the effects of hearing loss or endure the negative impact that it can have on your life. Help in Hearing can provide a wide variety of effective hearing solutions for all our patients. Our hearing aid audiologists offer expert advice and high quality hearing aids Marlow which are ideal for a variety of lifestyles and budgets.

Hearing loss can have a negative impact on all aspects of your life, from listening to music or having a conversation in a noisy restaurant, to attending a much-anticipated French language course London.  Help in Hearing are proud of their independence and are therefore in a position to choose hearing aids from any of the major hearing aid manufacturers.

Below are just a selection of the type of aids we can supply, depending on your requirements and severity of your hearing loss.

Extended Wear and Maintenance-free Hearing Aids

Phonak Lyric is the only aid in this category. It is a hearing aid which sits deep within the ear canal, close to the ear drum, is totally invisible and stays in the ear 24/7 for up to 90 days. No battery changes required, no cleaning required, hence it is termed as the ‘Contact Lens’ for the ear.

Deep Canal Hearing Aids

These are also entirely invisible, but they are custom built and can be taken out at night. They will need to have a change of batteries approximately every 5 days.

In-the-Ear Hearing Aids (ITE)

In the ear hearing aids can be made as a small completely in the canal (CIC), canal (ITC), half shell (HS) or full shell (FS) aid. They are all custom built and depending on the shape, size and power required can be a good alternative to a behind the ear aid.

Some of these aids have batteries which don’t need to be changed, (they are rechargeable) need very little maintenance and are particularly suitable for people who have dexterity problems.

Behind-the-Ear Hearing Aids (ITE)

The original and conventional behind the ear hearing aids feature a custom ear mould, which is inserted into the ear and has a tube to which the hearing aid is connected. These hearing aids Marlow are positioned behind the ear and are one of the most common hearing aids supplied by the National Health Service.

Other behind the ear hearing aids have very slim tubing to which small plastic domes are added and are placed into the ear canal. They are a good cosmetic alternative to the conventional BTE aids using the custom moulds and are also standard NHS supplied aids.

The currently most popular and best cosmetic behind the ear solution is the receiver in the canal (RIC) hearing aid, where the amplifier is connected at the end of a very fine wire and is positioned into the ear canal, either on a small plastic dome or a very small custom made ear mould. On the other end of this virtually invisible wire is the hearing aid itself, which is generally extremely small and very light so the user is hardly aware of it being there.

Whether you have recently begun to notice deterioration in your hearing, or you have been suffering for many years, do not make do with an outdated, inefficient hearing aid. Hearing aids Marlow from Help in Hearing are modern and sophisticated pieces of technology which will be fitted only after a thorough consultation has been carried out but will provide you with a fantastic improvement in hearing quality and lifestyle.

What is Tinnitus?

October 26th, 2011

We rely upon our hearing every day to listen the sounds of the world, the lyrics of our favourite songs and the words spoken by our friends, family and colleagues, yet sometimes our hearing can become impaired. Tinnitus is the medical term to describe the ringing sounds heard in our ears, but what exactly is it? This is a question that we here at Help in Hearing get asked on a regular basis. Although Tinnitus is a term that many of us will have heard of, and one that most of us will link to our hearing, we’re here to give you some clarification as to what tinnitus Windsor is and the symptoms often associated with it.

Originating from the Latin work ‘tinnitus’ which means ‘ringing’, its name goes some way to describe what tinnitus is. The condition relates to when an individual perceives an external sound which is not there, and is often a ringing, whistling or whooshing sound heard within our inner ear. Although the symptoms do not affect your hearing, it can cause distraction and the background noise can hinder what is being heard.

Common Causes

Many people experience tinnitus at some point in their life, whether they know it or not. Below is a list of some of the causes which can sometimes trigger an individual to experience tinnitus;

-    Blood Vessel Disorder
-    Age
-    Exposure to Loud Noises (typical of those who work in an industrial building or on building sites where machinery causes loud noises)
-    Ear Wax Blockages
-    Inner Ear Disorder Meniere’s Disease
-    Head or Neck Injury

There are many health related problems which can cause tinnitus, however if you experience any of the symptoms commonly associated with the condition, it is strongly advised that you seek professional advice from the team here at Help in Hearing. With our expertise we can identify the problem, and work together to find an effective solution for your tinnitus Windsor. For more information regarding our services, please do not hesitate to contact us on 01753 642 687.
