What I do

I had been to a well-known audio clinic that offered free hearing tests and results showed I needed hearing aids. None of the in-ear canal aids they offered were suitable for me as they caused pain. I didn’t want to wear the bulky external aids so I shelved the whole idea as it seemed too difficult. Andrew, as an independent audiologist is free to prescribe whatever he thinks is suitable. The whole experience has been a revelation! He recommended neat, discreet hearing aids. They have been life-enhancing from the start and without one instance of pain. They even cost slightly less than the ugly type the other company had suggested.

The tinnitus I had tried to ignore for 20 years had increased to a very disturbing pitch! I couldn’t imagine enduring this new excessive discomfort but believed I had no choice. At my first appointment with Andrew, I was devastated at the thought of wearing anything permanently in both ears. Andrew explained his method so thoroughly that I took his advice with confidence and decided to proceed with tiny devices that are comfortable and discreet. The loud ringing reduced within a few days. I’m hearing effortlessly in challenging situations and can’t wait to fit them as soon as I wake up each morning.
