Next week, we'll be releasing a recording of Christo's live webinar where he takes a deep dive in the Hearing Aid Buyers Companion The Hearing Aid Buyer's Companion is available as a print edition ($21.99) at our clinics (or order from your favourite book store) to read at your leisure and an as ebook ($11.99) from major ebook retailers.
Value Hearing is 100% Australian-owned and 100% independent, which means our clinicians are free to offer any make and model they believe will be right for your specific hearing loss and lifestyle.
And our recommendations are based on your ability to hear and understand sound in quiet and in noise - not every hearing aid centre offers speech in noise testing which means you could be walking away with a less-than-ideal solution and paying many thousands more for the privilege.
At Value Hearing, we spend 90 minutes on your appointment, so you don't unnecessarily spend thousands of dollars more than you need to.
