Choosing the right hearing technology for you

Clinical Audiologist Dr Peter O'Brien AuD MNZAS Audiology Associates

Choosing the right hearing technology depends on:
- Your level of hearing loss
- Your lifestyle
- Your budget

Hearing Aids come in various models; they can fit in the ear ITE/RITE, snugly in the canal ITC/RIC or behind the ear BTE. They are small and discreet and you can usually choose from a range of colours - match to skin/hair or choose to stand out from the crowd! There are also a variety of devices which connect to particular models of hearing aid; these may be customized to fit your unique hearing needs, and enhance your listening experiences on mobile phones and to assist listening to TV etc.

The team at Audiology Associates are happy to consult with you to help you decide what is right for you – we will provide no obligation quotes and an opportunity to trial*. We are always very happy to help with all of your hearing needs.
