1. New hearing aids

We usually recommend investing in new hearing aids every three to five years - or if you recognize any of the following situations:

  1. You want to experience the highest sound quality available
  2. You have noticed changes in your hearing ability
  3. Your hearing aids don’t seem to be working properly
  4. Your hearing needs have changed (due to either health or lifestyle changes)

You are very welcome to contact us in case you consider getting a new hearing aid. If you visit one of our clinics, you can get a risk-free trial of a modern quality hearing aid.
