We believe equipping you with this knowledge is priceless. Book your appointment with us today.

Recent research confirms that audiological outcomes have been improved by a focus on a single product offering versus multiple brands and types.

Our hearing aids are IP68 rated. This does not mean that we recommend diving or swimming while wearing your ReSound Nexia™ 9 hearing aids. In the event that you do get your hearing aids thoroughly wet, contact us immediately for further advice.

You’re guaranteed our full and constant support, either in person or online, no matter how long (or short) your transition time proves to be. We’re here to help you get the most out of your hearing aids – and the enjoyment of a much richer life as a result.
