Your records will be held on file so that at any time in the future they are available for reference as a starting point from which to proceed. Any medical reports or referrals are forwarded to the relevant professionals.
The consultation fee is €80.

Discussion will follow and we will advise as to the most appropriate and most comfortable hearing aid(s) to suit your budget.

Impressions are taken of one ear or both ears, if two hearing aids are decided upon. The manafacturer's laboratory uses these impressions to craft the In-The-Ear hearing aid(s) or ear mould in the case of a Behind-The-Ear hearing aid(s).

Fitting of your new hearing aid(s) takes place two to three weeks after the assessment and takes approximately one hour. The aid(s) are programmed and set by the Hearing Aid Audiologist to suit your specific hearing loss and lifestyle. Full instructions on the handling, use and care of hearing aid(s) are given.

Habilitation advice - a plan or schedule as to how to start wearing the hearing aids is suggested.

A further appointment is made for review and adjustment if necessary. The hearing aid(s) are given to you and paid for.
