2. The most discreet hearing aid

Modern hearing aids are more discreet than ever, and most styles we offer will be too. Even behind-the-ear hearing aids can be difficult to spot. 

Some hearing aid models are now so small that they’re virtually invisible. They sit inside the ear canal, making them almost unnoticeable to other people.

The most invisible type of hearing aid

The smallest hearing aid type available comes in the invisible-in-the-canal (IIC) style. This is the best option if you are looking for a device that is close to invisible.


You can try an invisible-in-the-canal hearing aid at one of our clinics.

3. The best value for money

Price is a significant factor when choosing a hearing aid. It's important to find a solution you are comfortable with. But you’ll want to make sure you’re getting the best quality possible. 

Compare hearing aid prices

To find out which hearing aid provides the best value for your money, we recommend that you book a free hearing test.  One of our hearing care experts will go through your test results and ask you questions about your lifestyle, your preferences and your listening situations in a typical day. 

And if needed, you can select a hearing aid that suits both your hearing needs and your budget.

4. The most comfortable fit 

You’ll get the most out of your hearing aid if it fits comfortably. A comfortable hearing aid will become just another part of your daily routine.

When it comes to comfort, here are a few things to think about:

  1. The shape of your ear canal can influence which hearing aid will be most comfortable for you (i.e. in-the-ear hearing aids vs behind-the-ear hearing aids) 
  2. Digital hearing aids offer optimal comfort since they work to support your brain's natural way of processing sound. Hearing amplifiers, on the other hand, merely make the sounds around you louder.

Schedule a free appointment in one of our clinics and we’ll give you the chance to see and try different hearing aids. You’ll be able to find the one that suits you best.
