Does the thought of hearing aids worry you?

I'm too young to start wearing hearing aids
Around one in six adults have some degree of hearing loss. Modern lifestyles mean many people experience problems at a younger age. Because hearing loss is gradual, you may not even be aware of its extent as much as your significant others.

I’m at the peak of my career
With hearing loss your brain needs to work harder to pick out important sounds from background noise. Everyday tasks like office meetings become more demanding and tiring. Hearing aids mean you can make sense of sounds and words, so you can focus on the conversation more easily.

I don’t want to look like someone with a hearing problem
Today’s hearing aids are chic, stylish and – above all – practically invisible. No-one else needs to know about them, and you’ll soon forget you’re wearing them yourself. 

I’m okay with my hearing loss – why go to the trouble?
Hearing loss can have a negative effect on your relationships with others. Wearing hearing aids improves not just your quality of life, but also that of people around you.
