Modern Hearing Aids and Exceptional Service at Easi-Ear

  • Are you struggling to hear everyday conversations?
  • Maybe you find it harder to hear the television, phone calls, or radio.
  • Or perhaps your social life is suffering because you find hearing more difficult in noisy environments.

EasiEar has the solution with modern hearing aids.

Specialised Hearing Aid Services Tailored to You

Untreated hearing loss often makes your world a smaller place, but the right hearing aid can change all of that.

Your road to better hearing begins with a hearing test.

A comprehensive hearing test is beneficial as it can identify early hearing loss and its causes, enable swift treatment, and prevent worsening hearing problems. Additionally, it allows us to provide tailored support and ensure we select the right model for your specific needs.

We achieve this by asking you questions related to the areas where you need the most support. For example:

  • You may have difficulties following conversations.
  • You struggle to hear clearly at social events or in crowded rooms with a lot of background noise.
  • Or perhaps you’re losing your enjoyment of music or TV, and this is impacting your daily life.

Hearing tests are simple, pain-free, non-invasive, and easy to complete

We offer a convenient service and provide support at every stage of the process:

  • If our tests confirm that you need a hearing aid, we can spend time understanding how you will use your hearing aid and assess the degree of hearing loss.
  • Then, we discuss the different styles available and choose the right model for you.
  • Next, we spend more time ensuring you know exactly how to use it/them to get the best performance comfortably.

Our HEARING AID PROCESS

  1. AUDIOGRAM TEST: Your assessment for a hearing aid begins with an audiogram, where we examine your hearing abilities so we can understand your unique hearing needs. Performs a hearing test to identify common problems and to assess you for potential hearing issues. Sometimes it will be straightforward, like an ear wax build up, for example.
  2. DIAGNOSTIC TEST If, after completing an examination, we find that your hearing difficulties are more complex, then we perform a full diagnostic test and use the results to determine if hearing aids are the most practical next step.
  3. TYPES OF HEARING AIDS: From there, we determine whether a hearing aid is appropriate and the various choices. Options may include: behind-the-ear, in-the-ear, or custom-fit models.
  4. CHOOSING HEARING AIDS: When helping you find the hearing aid best suited to you, we don’t just consider how well you can hear. We also consider your manual dexterity and what your hands can comfortably manage, along with what your brain can comprehend effectively. We’ll explain any scenarios you might face (for example, some people find the extra stimulus too much to begin with and may want to limit the length of time they wear it at first.)
  5. START YOUR FREE TRIAL: We begin with a FREE TRIAL and the usual starting point is a RIC (receiver in canal) hearing aid, which is discreet and offers comfort and flexibility.

Understanding Hearing Loss and How Prescription Hearing Aids Help

Hearing loss sometimes gets better on its own or can be managed with a conservative approach or a simple procedure. For example, earwax can be removed or softened with eardrops.

Sometimes, hearing loss is temporary, for instance, in the case of an infection that can result in sudden hearing difficulties. These common problems tend to occur suddenly and they are simple to fix and get better with effective treatment.

Other types of hearing loss can be more gradual and may eventually become permanent. There may be an effective treatment to optimise your remaining hearing, but, often, the most practical approach is to find the right hearing aid.

A collaborative process

Determining the best treatment approach is a collaborative process between you and our team. We will consider the following factors:

  • The type of hearing loss and the severity of your condition
  • The known or suspected cause
  • Your lifestyle and daily activities
  • Your age and communication needs
  • Your preferences for appearance and style
  • Your budget and financial considerations

Other Hearing Clinic Services

Apart from sourcing and fitting hearing aids, we also conduct hearing tests and ear wax extraction. Follow the buttons below for more information for each of these services.

HEARING TESTS

Many people do not even realise their hearing is suffering. And even when they do they are unsure what the problem is. Easi Ear removes this uncertainty, by providing thorough hearing tests to determine if you need a hearing aid.

Ear wax removal

Hearing care professionals advise against DIY ear wax removal or removal by non-professionals as it could leave you with ear canal damage, wax impaction, infections, or heating loss.

We offer professional hearing wax removal by a registered Audiologist with over 35 years of experience. Book your appointment today.

What’s the difference between NHS hearing aids and private hearing aids?

NHS hearing aids are free of charge and include ongoing costs like batteries and maintenance. There is a limited range of hearing aids available on the NHS, and some models lack advanced features.

Private hearing aids are paid for by the individual. However, compared to NHS hearing aids, there’s a much wider range available, and you can get more sophisticated models. As a private buyer, you’d be responsible for any ongoing costs.

hearing aids frequently asked questions

How much do hearing aids cost?

There are many variables, with prices starting at around £500, all the way up to £3,000+ for more advanced models.

What is the average cost of a good hearing aid?

The average cost of a hearing aid is £2,700.

What are the different types of hearing aids available?

Different types of hearing aids include in the ear, in the canal, behind the ear, receiver in the ear, completely in the ear canal, and invisible in the canal. CROS, BiCros, and body worn aids are also available.

How do I choose the right hearing aid for my needs?

It all depends on your lifestyle, type of hearing loss, and the severity of your hearing loss. An audiologist will perform a comprehensive evaluation to determine your needs and make recommendations from there.

What’s the difference between NHS hearing aids & private hearing aids?

Qualifying patients can get hearing aids free from the NHS, although the waiting lists and referral process is sometimes lengthy. Models are often limited to behind-the-ear and Receiver In The Ear (RITE) devices, although the NHS offers open-fit hearing aids, too. Obtaining hearing aids privately gives you a wider variety of choices, and they’re more discreet, with options like canal hearing aids.

How long does it take to get used to a new hearing aid?

It varies, but can take a few days to a few months, sometimes more. It’s usually advised that you wear them for short periods at a time when you first get them.

How often should I have my hearing tested?

It’s recommended that people over 50 have their hearing tested once a year.

What should I do if my hearing aid stops working properly?

You need to see a hearing professional. Ideally, you’ll see the audiologist who supplied the hearing aid.

Can I get a hearing aid that’s nearly invisible?

Yes, completely-in-canal (CIC) and invisible-in-canal (IIC) hearing aids are available, although you may have to go through a private provider to access them.

How often do I need to replace or upgrade my hearing aids?

They can last anything from 3-7 years. If you’re using a private provider, you can upgrade when you need to.

Are hearing aids covered by insurance?

Typically, private hearing aids are not covered by health insurance plans.

Do hearing aids require special maintenance?

Cleaning the hearing aids to remove ear wax, replacing batteries, and changing filters are all part of regular maintenance. It’s also a good idea to have regular check ups to ensure your hearing aid is working optimally.

Can hearing aids connect to my phone or other devices?

They can if they’re Bluetooth enabled, which allows them to connect to smartphones, etc.

What should I expect during a hearing test?

Typically, a hearing health specialist will start by taking your medical history and discussing your hearing concerns. Following this, your audiologist will carry out an hearing exam. They’ll also perform tests such as testing different pitches, speech tests, and middle ear tests.

Will a hearing aid completely restore my hearing?

Hearing aids don’t restore normal hearing, but they will amplify it. Additionally, people with profound hearing loss may get less benefit from them. In cases like this, cochlear implants may be a viable option.

How do I know if I need a hearing aid?

You may have noticed that you’re missing key parts of conversations or misunderstanding them or finding it difficult to hear telephone conversations. Another sign is needing to turn the radio or television up louder. These are often early signs that you may have developed some hearing loss.
