Hearing Devices in Victoria

There are several factors that should be kept in mind when choosing a hearing system so that the solution addresses your issues and enhances your hearing pleasure.

There are certain physical issues that may determine the best hearing solution for you, for example, the shape and size of your ear and ear canal may prevent the fitting of the completely-in-the-canal (CIC) device. On the other hand, the degree of your hearing loss may be the determining factor in selecting the most suitable hearing system. In addition to this, you will need to decide whether you can and should hear with both ears.

In addition to the above considerations, your own personal needs and wishes need to be taken into consideration. Let's look at some of those personal factors that people commonly take into consideration.

Needs: In other words, where and when do you have difficulty? Do you have problems understanding when there is background noise in social situations or difficulty hearing at work? Maybe you just have a little problem hearing the TV adequately, or, are you a more active individual with more complex listening needs? Understanding where and when you have the most difficulty will help to determine what type of hearing technology will best satisfy your needs.

Cosmetics: Now more than ever in the history of hearing devices, a wide selection of styles, sizes and colours are available to satisfy the most demanding expectations.

Dexterity: Take into consideration your ability to handle small objects. A tiny hearing device may look nice but if you cannot handle it easily then it becomes part of the problem and not the solution.

Technology: Performance of the hearing system is, in many ways, the cornerstone as to whether you are successful in achieving your goal to better understanding. Certainly, looks are important and now more than ever, we are able to provide hearing solutions that look great and deliver results. Some key features like adaptive microphone technology can improve understanding in noisy situations significantly.

Multiple programs, either manual or auto-switching, allow the device(s) to adapt to various listening environments. Anti-feedback management systems minimise the devices from whistling are just a few advances that hearing technology has evolved to.

Price: Hearing technology varies in price range. No matter what your budget is, Hearing Aid Specialists will be able to provide you with a hearing care solution.

We also offer six- and 12-month interest-free packages to approved applicants through GE Money Care.

Many health insurance plans offer some rebate towards the purchase fee of your hearing system. In addition to this, you may be eligible for a tax rebate if you earn a taxable income. If you are a pensioner or a veteran with a gold or white card, you are able to seek assistance through the Office of Hearing Service in acquiring hearing device(s).
