Counselling & Rehabilitation

Counselling and Rehabilitation for successful outcomes

Hearing aids do not fix your hearing problem. They are a tool to aide in your habilitation. Your nervous system needs time to adapt again to amplified sound and the noisy environments we live in, such as background noise at a café. This can sometimes be a lengthy process requiring several visits to the clinic for adjustments and counselling. This is not dissimilar to physiotherapy after an injury.

If you haven’t done anything about your hearing for a long time (on average we take 7-10 years to seek help for a hearing impairment), you brain will have forgotten how to process auditory information and needs time to relearn.

Just as your vision prescription changes over time, so does your hearing, so your device requires frequent adjustments to match these changes. Hearing aids are one for the few health choices where you can try-before-you-buy and we provide a 45 day trail period, allowing you to make a fully informed decision about the cost and effectiveness of your hearing aids.
