Hearing Aids
Using the Latest Technology gets Results
The digital technology used in modern hearing instruments makes it possible to
provide excellent sound performance in most situations. It is now reasonable
to expect that even the more basic of hearing aids can provide good hearing
in noisy environments, no feedback (whistling) and automatic performance.
Russell Hearing Services fits all leading brands of hearing aids
and selection is based on the degree of your hearing loss and listening
needs. A thorough assessment using the latest equipment is the
first step in determining the best solution for you.
Your initial hearing assessment
At
this appointment we discuss the degree of difficulty you
are having hearing in a number of different listening situations
and evaluate your hearing. If we believe that you would benefit
from a hearing aid or assistive listening device trial, it
is then important to establish whether you are eligible for
any of the available funding
options.. At this appointment
we also discuss your goals and expectations before developing
a personal management plan. We may also take ear impressions
at your first appointment.
The hearing aid fitting appointment
This involves
programming the hearing aids to suit your level of hearing. We
discuss use and maintenance and what you should expect during
the acclimatisation period. It is then important for you to adapt
to all the important sounds in your life. Some people find that
it takes a few months before they are comfortable hearing many
of these new sounds.
Follow-up sessions and on-going care
At follow-up appointments we evaluate your
initial experiences and make adjustments to the hearing aids based
on your comments. We discuss whether you feel that your goals are
being met to ensure that you are completely satisfied with your
hearing aids. We provide a continued support service and encourage
individuals to approach us in the future for on-going care and
management.
