There is no denying right now that the cost of everything is rising exponentially. This has been leading us to ask the question as to what we have to sacrifice to keep on top of rising utility and food bills. Should healthcare be the thing to give!?
We can’t argue with you that hearing aids are expensive but we’re to discuss if hearing aids are worth the money. They are usually priced at a few thousand pounds and can go much higher. There are so many things to consider when contemplating private healthcare and we’re here to help you make that decision.
Will hearing aids improve my quality of life?
Hearing aids can greatly improve your quality of life if you have a hearing loss. They can get you back into all the social situations you have potentially missed out on. Feeling part of a community is so important for our general well-being. Hearing aids can really help to ensure that anyone with hearing loss still feels this way. It goes without saying that if you have a hearing loss and wear hearing aids consistently, your communication abilities will be greatly improved by the hearing aids. The hearing aids will help to process sound all around you so you can hear more than just what is going on directly in front of you. On the flip side of this, hearing aids can also filter out unwanted background noise so you can concentrate on the sounds that are the most important.
Hearing loss can sometimes take away our enjoyment for our favourite activities. Going to the cinema, a sports match or even just out for dinner becomes problematic when you know you cannot hear well. However, with hearing aids, you can once again enjoy all of those things that you may have missed out on. Lots of public places, including cinemas and theatres, have hearing loops which compatible hearing aids can connect to. This means you can stream the sound directly into your ears – perfect!
Get your confidence back!
It can be truly debilitating when you cannot hear properly and unfortunately, this can really take away a person’s confidence. Being able to hear again will give back that confidence! Becoming more active and engaged in life again will boost your quality of life no end. Feeling confident in everyday life is something that we should all feel. If hearing aids can do that for you, why not give them a try today.
Hearing aids can connect to your smartphone via Bluetooth. This means that you can stream all of your phone calls directly into your ear meaning that phone conversations will become a lot easier.
What do I get if I purchase hearing aids?
All of our hearing aids come with an extensive 2 or 3 year aftercare plan. This includes as many follow up appointments as necessary until you are settled into your new life with the hearing aids. During your aftercare plan, you will have a 6 month check-up and an annual hearing test each year of your plan entirely free of charge. During these appointments, your hearing healthcare professional will reprogram your hearing aids to your current hearing loss. Your ears will be checked for any excess wax and any of your questions can be addressed.
Within your aftercare plan, any repairs (that are not caused by user damage) will be repaired free of charge either by the manufacturer or your hearing healthcare professional. This will depend on the extent of the repair. Our helpful customer service team are on hand to assist you too between the hours of 9am-5pm, Monday – Friday. We always aim to get any issues with your hearing aids resolved as quickly as possible.
Deciding whether to go ahead with private hearing aids is a very personal decision and we can’t tell you what to do. We can just be here to help you with any questions that may arise when you are making your decision as to whether hearing aids are worth the money. We will always try our very best for our patients and love to spread a bit of hearing happiness!
