With no one size fits all approach we understand how unique your hearing needs are. At Otec Hearing we give you the ability to explore a range of solutions suited to your lifestyle and budget.
Each individual requires a tailor-made solution, once your Audiogram has been obtained our professional Audiologist will use this and input this information into specialist software which will enable us to program your hearing aids based on your hearing loss, lifestyle & needs. With the best cutting edge hearing aid technology, you can enjoy life effortlessly.
During your appointment the hearing care professional will go through your tailored plan demonstrating insertion and removal of your hearing aid, your rechargeable system and the maintenance and cleaning of your device.
Each hearing aid has a unique fitting, weather this is a behind the ear hearing aid or an in the ear style. After taking careful measurements of your ears the Audiologist will attach the appropriately sized domes and receivers to your hearing aids. With an in the ear instrument the optimum venting size can be key to success. To get the best out of your experience with a hearing aid the insertion and removal of your device is vital, the Audiologist will demonstrate the most effective way for you to carry this out including individuals who may have dexterity issues.
After you are comfortable with the handling of the hearing aid the Audiologist will demonstrate any wireless accessories and the rechargeable system. The rechargeable system will be different between the in the ear and behind the ear models. A charge of 3 hours can get you roughly 24 hours of use from your hearing aids. Wireless accessories such as a remote control allows you to be in charge of your hearing system from the first instance.
Once your hearing aid fitting has been completed the Audiologist will discuss the lifelong aftercare we offer at Otec Hearing. This includes unlimited appointments and wax removal discounts. As with most new things in our life things can be daunting at first, at Otec Hearing we are here with you every step of the way, from your first initial appointment to your hearing aid fitting we will always be here for you.
