- A service plan with preventive maintenance appointments

Yes, many modern hearing aids are equipped with Bluetooth technology, allowing them to be connected to phones, TVs and other electronic devices for the ultimate sound experience.
It’s not uncommon to see advertisements, often on online platforms, promoting hearing aids at very low prices. While these offers may seem attractive, they carry significant risks for your hearing health. These sound amplifiers, lacking precise digital settings, may not only fail to adequately correct hearing loss, but may actually make it worse.
In addition, these products are generally of inferior quality, don’t allow for any personalized adjustment and don’t meet the specific needs of each user.
Here are some signs that you may need a hearing aid:
- Difficulty understanding conversations: you find it hard to follow discussions, especially in noisy environments or when several people are talking at the same time.
- Increasing the volume: you constantly need to increase the volume of your TV, radio or electronic devices to hear clearly.
- Loss of sound at certain frequencies: you feel like you can’t hear certain voices as well, such as those of women or children, and no longer hear some audible warning devices such as turn signals and watch alarms.
- Auditory fatigue: you feel exhausted after long conversations or gatherings.
- Difficulties in noisy environments: you have trouble hearing in noisy places like restaurants and meetings, or in the car.
- Buzzing or whistling sound: If you hear noises such as buzzing or whistling in your ears (tinnitus), this may also be a sign of hearing loss.
If you recognize yourself in these symptoms, don’t wait: consult a hearing aid specialist. Early screening helps identify your needs and improve your quality of life. Studies show that prompt handling significantly reduces the risk of hearing loss worsening.
Our audioprosthetists can perform hearing loss screenings (offered free of charge at any time). We’ll refer you to other healthcare professionals if you need it. We work closely with audiologists, medical specialists and nurses.
