Hearing aid fitting and follow-up

Each persons response to amplification is unique. Some patients adjust easily and some patients take months to adjust. We are committed to providing personalized care to help with this process. Speech mapping is available as an objective measurement of benefit.

Hearing Assistive Technology

Hearing Assistive Technology includes devices such as amplified telephones, cell phone accessories, television listening systems, alarm clocks, telephone and doorbell ring signalers, flashing smoke alarms, and personal listening systems to assist people to hear or be alerted to environmental signals, with or without hearing aids. We have a demonstration display of a number of these products so that our patients can learn for themselves which devices are most beneficial.

Hearing Counselling

Many patients are presented with complex problems related to their auditory or balance disorder, including those with severe and profound hearing loss. These may include psychological or social difficulties arising from communication problems, which have affected relationships with relatives, work and/or the outside world.

Hearing Counselling seeks to help people with multiple disabilities, including those with multi-sensory impairment and those with learning difficulties.

The role of Wadden Hearing Clinic is to provide an expert hearing solution with comprehensive rehabilitation service for adults with auditory related problems.

Cleaning of the hearing aids

At Wadden Hearing Clinic we recommend that you clean your hearing aids every day. Use a soft cloth, tissue or special hearing aid brush to wipe the outside. Never use alcohol or cleansers. They harm the internal components and circuitry.

Use a dehumidifier kit regularly to prevent moisture from entering the hearing aids and damaging the components.

Use a wax loop or brush to remove ear wax and other debris. Never use a straight pin or other sharp object to clean wax from your hearing aids.

Replace behind-the-ear tubing, when they become dry, cracked, stiff or discoloured.

Battery sales

When it comes to hearing aid batteries we only sell the highest rated, longest lasting hearing aid batteries. And remember, when you purchase hearing aid batteries from Wadden Hearing Clinic, you are receiving great personal service and our freshness guarantee, we ensure your satisfaction. Don't be lured by cheap brands with short hearing aid battery life. Go with a brand and company you can trust.

Hearing Instrument diagnostic check

At Wadden Hearing Clinic we use the state of the art, Fonix 7000 Hearing Aid Test System to check the performance of the hearing aid. We can check for high battery drain, poor microphone performance, weak amplifiers and whether or not the hearing aid is strong enough to reach your hearing loss thresholds accurately. If you hearing aid is set wrong you will notice that your voice sounds funny or there is an echo. A poorly fitted hearing aid will result in feedback and various other issues that we can solve quickly and easily.
