Hearing aids in our 'Good' Range now come with a either a 2 or 5 year guarantee.

Simply put, the number of channels determines how finely your hearing aid can be tuned to best suit your individual level of hearing loss. The more channels the hearing aid has, the more it can be finely tuned to give you the most natural and effective hearing experience.

Programmes are memory settings within a hearing aid, they are set up by your Hearing Aid Audiologist and allow your hearing aid to operate at it's optimum within specific listening environments. For example if you regularly attend the theatre your Hearing Aid Audiologist could set a 'theatre programme' which would have the ideal settings to help you hear the actors on the stage. Another programme might be set up for watching television at home, whilst another could be optimised for use in noisy restaurants where more amplification and background noise supression is needed.

This feature effectively enables you to focus on the important sounds you want to hear, like speech, whilst the hearing aid reduces the distraction of unwanted background noise, making it easier and more comfortable for you to hear in noisy environments.

Volume controls allow you to change the volume of sound through your hearing aids. Depending on your hearing aid model volume can be controlled by a small switch or button on the hearing aid itself or by using a remote control.

In more sophisticated models volume is controlled by the hearing aid itself  by analysing your hearing environment and adjusting the volume automatically - providing you with clear, comfortable hearing in an instant.

Directional microphones prioritise sounds coming from a certain direction while supressing background noise from other directions.

With fixed directional microphones the microphones are set in a fixed direction where most important sounds come from; usually in a wide arc in front of you.

Essentially a process within the hearing aid that detects and reduces the impact of sudden, jarring noises, like a door slamming or clattering dishes for a more comfortable hearing experience.

Feedback is the name given to the whistling sound that you may have heard typically with older or analogue hearing aids. The feedback suppression feature identifies this feedback and suppresses it, providing you with better quality, more comfortable hearing - and no whistling!

Telecoils (or T-Coils) allow certain audio sources to be directly connected to a hearing aid helping to filter out annoying background noise. They can be used with telephones, FM systems (with neck loops), and induction loop systems. Loop systems can be found in most public buildings and use magnetic signals to transmit sounds to the hearing aid.

Hearing aids with wind noise reduction automatically sense wind conditions and suppress the related noise for comfort. This hearing aid feature is particularly useful for people who spend a lot of time outdoors; whether walking in the countryside, by the sea or playing golf.
