Hearing Aids
A hearing loss can be treated and managed in a number of ways depending on the cause and the severity of the loss.
A hearing aid is one of the treatment methods that may be offered to you.
• Size
• Technology levels
• Quality
• Price
Every patient is different, and for this reason a ‘patient-centred’ approach to hearing aid fitting is essential. Factors such as the patient’s lifestyle, personal needs, financial considerations and of course audiological requirements all need to be taken into account when looking for the right hearing solution.
Kate Butlin Hearing Solutions carries a wide range of hearing devices from all the leading international hearing aid manufacturers. Each device varies in style, technology level, capabilities and features, and Kate will be able to assist you in selecting the right hearing aid to suit your individual needs.
Hearing aids that have been correctly programmed and fitted specifically for your prescribed hearing requirements will greatly improve your quality of life.
