At The Scunthorpe Hearing Centre we know that the hearing aids you wear are incredibly important.
We only supply the very best hearing aids from the world’s best manufacturers – as no one ear or loss is the same, we recognise the importance of providing our patients with a bespoke solution.
As an independent hearing aid provider, we have complete freedom to recommend the best digital hearing aids to suit your needs.
There is a range of different hearing aid styles available, including Invisible in the ear (IIC), Receiver in the Canal (RIC) and Behind the Ear (BTE) hearing aids, so what’s the difference, and which hearing aid is right for you?
IICs fit snugly in your ear and recent miniaturization means we have space for wireless ear-to-ear operation, automatic noise sensing & remote control. These are bespoke, made to measure hearing instruments, designed and customised for your ear. Suitable for mild- to severe hearing loss. (Try the PHONAK L90 TITANIUM)
The most popular hearing aid form; an RIC is a discreet, mini behind-the-ear hearing solution that uses a wire and a tiny speaker in the ear canal to deliver targeted amplification. This provides more natural sound and less occlusion (‘blocked ear’ feeling) than a traditional BTE aid. Suitable for mild- to severe hearing loss. (Try the PHONAK AUDEO L90).
These are traditional hearing instruments that sit at the back of your outer ear. Sound passes through a tube to a comfortable custom ear mould. Usually prescribed for severe- to profound and complex hearing loss. (Try the OTICON XCEED)
An advanced RIC hearing aid that connects to your smartphone. Listen to calls in stereo; stream music and TV directly to your ears and adjust your hearing preferences on your phone. Suitable for mild- to severe hearing loss. (Try the OTICON INTENT 1)
Audéo Lumity focuses on giving you improved speech understanding with its unique Phonak SmartSpeech™ Technology so you can enjoy conversations in many challenging listening situations.¹
Engage in life like never before with Oticon Intent™ hearing aids. They contain the world’s first user intent sensors, which seamlessly adapt to whatever you want to focus on to deliver truly personalised hearing support.
Noisy listening environments can be particularly difficult for individuals with hearing loss. In settings such as a busy family home, an office or a crowded restaurant, everyone will have their own unique listening needs. These needs will change as people move around the space and the volume of background noise goes up and down.
Utilising the intelligent operating system, AutoSense OS 5, Virto Lumity provides the fastest ever noise sensing program changer. It adapts to your environment automatically!
Phonak benefits from an immense amount of British skilled technicians producing custom products for 10 European countries, and so when it comes to actually making a small IIC hearing aid that is built correctly and proves to be reliable, it’s usually Phonak that we choose. Now available in titanium custom ultra-thin shell.
We know that the first experience of a hearing aid is vital in setting the direction of the journey to better hearing. A negative experience can leave users wondering if they were right to try a hearing aid at all, but a positive one can make them feel more connected to their life than they have been for years.
We believe that it’s possible to give users a sound so natural that they will be simply amazed from the very first moment. How? With Widex PureSound™
