Our Hearing Aid Services

Hearing aids can come at a considerable cost, and our skilled audiologists provide an independent, private service to ensure you know which hearing aid brands and models will be ideal for you – and which offers the best value for money within your budget.

Regain Hearing is not affiliated with any one brand, which gives us autonomy and ensures that our suggestions are solely based on your requirements and hearing.

As part of the service, we’ll start with a comprehensive hearing test. During this evaluation, we can discuss your hearing, determine whether you currently use hearing aids, and discuss any hearing difficulties or changes you’d like to address.

Hearing Assessments and Hearing Aid Consultations

During a personalised hearing test, we’ll use varied clinical testing processes, including ear pressure assessments called tympanometry, video otoscopy tests to see inside your ear, and additional evaluations like word list checks and speech mapping to get a clear idea about how your hearing is functioning.

From there, we can advise you on whether hearing aids will help, determine whether your current hearing aids are suitable, and suggest settings, programming, and device types that will meet your expectations.

Our audiology teams are proud to uphold an exceptional reputation for customer service and expertise. For your peace of mind, we offer professional warranties of between three and five years on all hearing aids purchased through our clinics.

Clients can choose from more than 350 hearing aid models produced by nine selected manufacturers, providing a full range of choices.

Reasons to Book a Private Hearing Test and Hearing Aid Consultation

Hearing aids can dramatically impact your confidence, ability to engage in conversations and quality of life. Starting with an accurate, reliable, and professional hearing test is essential to ensure we understand the precise nature of your hearing loss or impairment.

There are numerous reasons it may be worth scheduling a hearing assessment and consultation with a professional audiologist, including:

  • Concerns about progressive or ongoing hearing loss or changes to the hearing function in one or both ears.
  • Feeling that your hearing aids aren’t working correctly or have stopped delivering the hearing improvements you experienced previously.
  • Being unsure which hearing aids you need or having felt pressured to pay above your budget for hearing aid brands you aren’t sure are suitable.
  • Having hearing aids that work but not to the extent you would like or that are heavy, bulky, or uncomfortable to wear.

For many clients, custom hearing devices are ideal because they can be adapted to the specific shape and size of the ear canal rather than being a generic size and shape that might feel restrictive or continually slip away from the ear.

During your consultation, we’ll be happy to demonstrate how any hearing aid works, how to program and adjust the settings for varied environments, and how to care for and clean your hearing aids to keep them working optimally.

What to Expect From Regain Hearing Maidstone’s Hearing Aid Services

Hearing aids come in a diverse array of sizes and models, and the right options may depend on the nature of the hearing loss or impairment you have – and which devices are the best match to deliver optimal improvements in your hearing.

One of the most important aspects of a hearing assessment and hearing aid consultation is analysing your hearing, providing tailored suggestions, and discussing any requirements or issues you might have with your current hearing aids.

As a very brief summary, we can discuss hearing aids with the following features:

  • Receiver-in-Canal (RIC) hearing aids: Non-custom devices that slot over the top of your outer ear.
  • Behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aids are the most common model, with variations between standard, mini, and power devices.
  • Invisible-in-canal (IIC) hearing aids: Custom-fit to your ears to sit inside the outer section of your ear canal.
  • Completely-in-canal (CIC) hearing aids have a tiny removal notch visible outside the ear canal; otherwise, these devices are discreet and hidden. In-the-canal (ITC) hearing aids are similar – the device sits in the ear canal, with a small section visible.
  • Half Shell In-the-Ear (ITE) hearing aids are comparable to ITC devices, although with a different shape. Full-Shell ITE hearing aids also sit partially in the ear canal, although a larger portion of the device shows outside the ear.

Many clients advise that they’d ideally like a set of hearing aids that is as invisible as possible or with a lightweight, slimline fit that doesn’t feel heavy or intrusive. 

During your consultation and hearing assessment, we can discuss the pros and cons, costs, and applications of each hearing aid type.

Support With Hearing Aid Selection

Picking a hearing aid, choosing between styles and fitting mechanisms, and knowing whether or not your hearing aids are working correctly is complex, and our role as your audiology provider is to review your hearing aids, evaluate your hearing quality, and provide the wealth of experience within our team to help you take control of your hearing.

While we stock the best-known and most reputable hearing aid brands, there remains ample choice with varied price points and types of hearing aids suited to different levels of hearing loss.

During your hearing assessment, we’ll discuss all the options and ensure you benefit from our complimentary lifetime aftercare services, hearing aid maintenance, and regular testing.

How Much Do Hearing Aids Cost in Maidstone?

Read our guide: How much do hearing aids cost?

The advancements in hearing aid technology over recent years mean there are numerous possible models you might pick, from invisible hearing aids that sit in the centre of your ear to conventional behind-the-ear hearing aids or discreet half-shell in-the-ear models.

During your hearing assessment, we’ll recommend the hearing aids we think are best suited to you or advise you if you feel your current hearing aids aren’t working as well as you’d like them to.

Read our guide: What are the different types of hearing aids?

The right maintenance and cleaning may depend a little on the type of hearing aids you have, although the general guidance is to clean them daily and request a professional clean every few months to ensure they are working correctly and free of dirt or debris.

We’ll advise on the best ways to clean your hearing aids when discussing their programming and upkeep, but most models simply need a quick clean with a soft, dry cloth or antibacterial wipe.
