Hearing Aids
Hearing aids are fitted at your home, not in a clinic. Baz comes to you, so the appointment happens where you actually live and listen, in your own living room, with your own TV and the people you talk to every day. That makes a real difference when it comes to getting the settings right, and it means no travelling, no waiting room and no rushing.
With 14 years of experience in thorough testing and identifying concerns with hearing health, Baz starts with a full assessment. He then talks you through the hearing aids available from Starkey and ReSound, two of the best known names in hearing care. He prides himself on finding the simplest option that does the job, because hearing aids should make life easier, not give you something else to figure out. Whether you want something small and discreet, easy to handle, or simple to look after, he will find the right fit and show you how everything works until you are completely comfortable with it.
Hearing Aid Aftercare
The care does not stop once the hearing aids are in. Every fitting comes with five years of free aftercare and reprogramming, all carried out at home by the same person who fitted them. As your hearing changes over the years, Baz adjusts your hearing aids to match, so you are never left struggling on your own.

No. Hearing aids are water resistant but they are not waterproof. It means that our hearing aids are designed to do well in different weather conditions however there are times when the devices should not be worn. For example bathing, swimming, sauna, steam rooms etc.
When you have a hearing loss it means that your brain is having to work harder to compensate for a sense that is lacking. Unfortunately this can lead to your body taking on additional strain and stress. You may see when somebody who has hearing loss wants you to look directly at them with focus; or speak more slowly so they can understand what you are saying. Hearing aids reduce the strain and stress cause by hearing loss and make it easier to hear and focus on speech.
