You’re never too old to hear
Bionic technology has made hearing loss treatable for people of all ages.
If hearing aids are not enough, ask your GP for a referral and book an appointment to find out if cochlear implants might benefit you.
Could I benefit from a Cochlear Implant?
Understanding conversations, talking on the phone and interacting with the world are important for health and happiness.
If you experience any of the following while wearing hearing aids you might benefit from a hearing implant.
When wearing your hearing aid do you:
Have difficulty hearing conversations, especially with background noise?
Ask people to repeat themselves, or smile and nod because you can’t hear?
Misunderstand what people say?
Have trouble hearing on the telephone?
Need subtitles on TV, or a very loud volume to hear?
Miss hearing sounds of nature, such as birds, rain or the crashing surf?
Find it exhausting trying to keep up with interactions at a work meetings or social events?
Avoid social situations because it’s stressful when you can’t hear?
Read lips to understand what people are saying?
