Your lifestyle and activity levels play a crucial role in selecting the right hearing aid, and our thorough consultation process ensures we recommend the ideal solution for you.

We provide a variety of hearing aid types and styles and the one we choose together depends on multiple factors, which we will discuss in detail during your visit.

During your consultation, we will evaluate your hearing health, lifestyle, and preferences to recommend the best hearing aid style and technology for you. Our goal is to provide you with a personalised hearing solution that enhances your quality of life.  For example, we have access to hearing aids that are waterproof or have health-tracking apps to monitor your heart rate and daily steps.

Most hearing aids are rechargeable and can be totally personalised to your needs through an app on your smartphone.

Your hearing aids can be as unique as you are.

Comprehensive Hearing Solutions

Our comprehensive range of hearing solutions includes:

  • Behind-The-Ear (BTE) Hearing Aids: These versatile aids are suitable for a wide range of hearing loss levels and sit comfortably behind the ear.
  • In-The-Canal (ITC) and Completely-In-Canal (CIC) Hearing Aids: These discreet options are designed to fit almost entirely inside your ear canal, making them nearly invisible.
  • In-The-Ear (ITE) Hearing Aids fill the area just outside the opening of your ear. They cannot be seen from behind, unlike BTE hearing aids, but they are visible from the side.
  • Receiver-In-Canal (RIC) Hearing Aids: Offering a comfortable fit and high-quality sound, these aids have a receiver located in the ear canal.

  • Aftercare – Regular 6-month check-ups and hearing reassessments every 12 months.
  • Wax Removal Service – We offer half price wax removal to all our clients who have bought a hearing aid from us.

Benefits of Hearing Aids

Hearing aids offer a multitude of benefits that can significantly enhance the quality of life for those who are experiencing hearing loss. These small yet powerful devices are designed to improve hearing and communication, leading to better overall well-being and social interactions.

  • Improved Communication and Relationships – One of the most immediate and noticeable benefits of hearing aids is improved communication. By amplifying sounds and making speech clearer, hearing aids enable you to participate more fully in conversations. This can lead to stronger relationships with family, friends, and colleagues, as communication barriers are reduced. Improved hearing allows for more natural and engaging interactions, helping to prevent the isolation that often accompanies hearing loss.
  • Enhanced Quality of Life – Hearing aids can greatly enhance your quality of life. Hearing aid users often report feeling more confident and less stressed in social situations, as they no longer have to strain to hear or fear missing important parts of conversations. This increased confidence can extend to various aspects of life, including work, where clear hearing is crucial for productivity and job performance.
  • Cognitive Benefits – There is growing evidence that hearing aids can contribute to better cognitive health. Hearing loss has been linked to an increased risk of cognitive decline and dementia. By improving auditory input, hearing aids can help keep the brain active and engaged, potentially reducing the risk of cognitive deterioration. This is particularly important for older adults, as maintaining cognitive function is key to a healthy aging process.
  • Safety and Awareness – Hearing aids also enhance safety by improving your ability to hear important sounds in the environment. This includes hearing alarms, sirens, and other warning signals, which can be crucial in preventing accidents. Additionally, being able to hear oncoming traffic or other potential hazards helps individuals navigate their surroundings more safely.
  • Customisable and Discreet – Modern hearing aids are highly customisable and can be tailored to fit your specific needs and preferences. They come in various styles and sizes, including very discreet options that are nearly invisible. Advanced features, such as Bluetooth connectivity, allow users to connect their hearing aids to smartphones and other devices, further enhancing their convenience and functionality.
  • Improved Mental Health – Hearing aids can also have a positive impact on mental health. By alleviating the frustration and fatigue associated with struggling to hear, these devices can reduce stress and anxiety. You will feel more connected and less isolated, which can lead to improvements in your mood and overall mental well-being.

For anyone experiencing hearing loss, hearing aids can be a life-changing solution that significantly enhances their quality of life.

What To Expect From Your New Hearing Aid

Some people turn their hearing aid on and hear better right away. For most, there is more of an adjustment period. The single most important factor in the process is the attitude and commitment of the wearer – and the development of realistic expectations.

There are two things to know right from the start.

  1. Hearing aids cannot fully replicate the natural quality of your original hearing, as they can’t repair what has been damaged, only stimulate the hearing that remains. Hearing aids may enhance sounds and improve clarity, but they lack the subtle nuances of perfect hearing.
  2. Adjusting to wearing hearing aids takes time. Similar to getting used to varifocals, you may encounter some initial discomfort or challenges. However, with patience and persistence, these difficulties typically diminish, allowing you to adapt and benefit from improved hearing.

It’s important to know what to expect and to learn how to get the most from your hearing aids in different situations. Be prepared to approach this new experience with willingness and patience, as it involves re-learning how to hear. Starting slowly and being consistent in using your new hearing aids can significantly ease this transition. Gradually, you’ll become more adept at adjusting to different environments and making the most of your hearing instruments, enhancing your overall auditory experience.

Testimonials

I’ve been with Helen and her team since 2014. They are just great. My most recent aids are also Bluetooth so I now use my mobile in preference to the landline because the sound is so clear. Also can tune into smart tv and iPad so husband can be spared some of my entertainment choices! Cannot recommend Monmouthshire Hearing Centre highly enough.
Annette Lankshear

After 5 years of struggling with NHS aids I have finally made a decision and purchased customised , private aids from Monmouthshire Hearing Centre and WOW, what a game changer. No more irritated ears, no more itching, no more fiddling, no more battery changing, no more whistling , no more pushing a plastic tube through the aids to clean them. I can’t express my delight in my new rechargeable aids. I actually enjoy wearing them as I can hear clearly with great clarity. I forget that I’m wearing them, they are so comfortable. I can pair my mobile phone with my aids and answer calls through my aids therefore hands free. If anyone is struggling with their NHS aids or can’t decide about buying private aids I would say with complete honesty just take the plunge and go for it, treat yourself. I haven’t looked back, my only regret is that I didn’t do this 5 years ago.
Lesley Withnell

I have been with them since 2006, been well looked after and no problem is too small. I recently had a checkup and my hearing has got worse but it was explained to me with such professionalism that it put me at ease with the aid of graph showing me details of my lost. I would recommend them 100%.
