I have had hearing problems for the last several (10 or more years???) and folks - it just gets worse as the years go by but slowly so you don't really notice. I have had many tests, and even a trial in the US but never really found anything that worked. I now realize that it was because that the US providers missed important things - for instance I have tinnitus in my ears and I am now SURE that their testing with simple "beeps" was giving erroneous data because I was "guessing" and giving false positives when I interpreted my tinnitus as a beep. The gentlemen here (the first to do so ever!) saw through this and tested me with "warbles" - problem solved. We got good data. Then he had my wife talk to me through the headset he was using - and then adjusted the headset to give the same effects as would the correctly prescribed hearing aid. FIRST TIME EVER - night and day difference. Just took delivery of my new Oticon hearing aids today - awesome! These guys really do a good job. Expensive- but problem solved and with a 2 year warranty plus my insurance for loss, damage and after the first 2 years repair (around 100 pounds per annum) I think I am set for years! read more
