Struggling with hearing aid batteries? We have the solution

2 Min read

18th Sep 2023

Hearing aids are crucial for those experiencing hearing loss. They allow you to maintain your independence and continue enjoying the things you love. However, dealing with traditional hearing aid batteries can be a major inconvenience, especially for those with dexterity issues or who live a busy lifestyle. 

At our Worcester and Stratford-upon-Avon hearing centres, we understand these difficulties and are proud to offer a solution: rechargeable hearing aids. Read on to find out more.

Why Rechargeable Hearing Aids?

Traditional hearing aids use disposable batteries, which need to be replaced frequently, typically every 5-14 days depending on usage. This can be particularly challenging for people with arthritis, tremors, or other conditions that affect their hand dexterity. 

Replacing tiny batteries can be fiddly and frustrating. There’s also the constant need to keep a supply of batteries on hand and to dispose of used ones properly.

Rechargeable hearing aids simplify all of this. They come with built-in batteries that can be recharged nightly, just like you would with your mobile phone. This means no more fumbling with tiny batteries or worrying about running out.

Rechargeable Hearing Aids at WS Hearing

We offer a wide range of rechargeable hearing aids at our Stratford-upon-Avon and Worcester clinics, including:

Phonak Slim

Phonak Slim hearing aids are known for their exceptional sound quality and seamless connectivity to smartphones, TVs, and other devices. The Phonak Slim Charger is a compact charger with a sleek appearance that perfectly complements the Phonak Slim, charging the hearing aids in just three hours to offer a full day of hearing.

Oticon Real

Oticon Real gives you the option of 2 types of chargers: Recharge your hearing aids on the go with a built-in power bank with the award winning SmartCharger or the Desktop charger that gives you a full day’s power, every day. Plus, it offers Bluetooth connectivity to all of your devices and Oticon’s accessories like remote microphones to enhance your listening experience.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At our hearing centres in Worcester and Stratford-upon-Avon, we are committed to helping you find the perfect hearing solution that fits your lifestyle and needs. 

Our team of experienced audiologists will work with you to select the best rechargeable hearing aids for your unique hearing profile. Say goodbye to the hassle of traditional batteries and embrace the convenience and ease of rechargeable hearing aids. 

Contact us today to schedule a consultation and discover the difference that rechargeable hearing aids can make in your life.

Rechargeable hearing aids at Stratford-upon-Avon

3 Min read

10th Aug 2023

In Stratford-upon-Avon, we are transforming the way people interact with the world around them by offering an innovative solution for those with hearing loss: rechargeable hearing aids. These state-of-the-art devices are designed to simplify your life, offering effortless recharging, Bluetooth connectivity, and an improved lifestyle with a lower carbon footprint.

Read on to find out more.

Understanding Rechargeable Hearing Aids

Phonak Slim

Just like your everyday gadgets, rechargeable hearing aids can be charged overnight, completely removing the need for frequent battery changes. This ensures that your hearing aids are ready for use all day, so you don’t have to worry about batteries running out at a crucial time.

These devices are perfect for individuals who may have arthritis or other dexterity issues, as the batteries are often very small and can be challenging to handle. By simply placing your hearing aids onto their charging unit overnight, you alleviate the stress of managing these small components.

The advantages of going rechargeable

One of the key benefits of rechargeable hearing aids is their potential to lower your carbon footprint. By opting to recharge your batteries instead of constantly buying new ones, you are significantly reducing waste, thereby contributing positively to the environment.

Moreover, the inclusion of Bluetooth capabilities in many models allows you to directly stream audio from your hearing aids. This feature adds a layer of convenience that truly modernises the hearing aid experience.

Why should you consider Rechargeable Hearing Aids in Stratford-upon-Avon?

The cost of rechargeable hearing aids is typically similar to traditional models, making the switch a no-brainer for most. With outstanding battery life, even those who stream audio frequently can rely on their hearing aids to last throughout the day.

While the hearing aids themselves can last anywhere from seven to ten years, it is recommended to replace the lithium-ion batteries every six years. The process is typically handled by the manufacturer as the batteries are usually sealed within the hearing aids.

But why choose Stratford-upon-Avon Hearing Centre?

When you choose WS Hearing, you’re not just buying a product; you’re investing in an experience. From having a dedicated audiologist who understands your journey to receiving extensive aftercare, we ensure you are fully supported. We also use real ear measurement and real-world fitting to optimise your hearing aid experience. But don’t just take our word for it. We have hundreds of 5-star reviews that speak volumes about our dedication to our clients.

Top Rechargeable Hearing Aid brands and models

At WS Hearing, we understand that each individual has unique hearing needs, which is why we offer a diverse range of reputable hearing aid brands. Some of our top brands include Oticon, Phonak, and Starkey, each offering unique features tailored to your lifestyle and hearing loss level.

Phonak Slim

The Phonak Slim, with its remarkable design and exceptional performance, is a testimony to our commitment to providing top-tier hearing solutions. This uniquely designed hearing aid, tailored for each ear, effortlessly nestles behind your ear for unmatched comfort, even if you wear glasses. It delivers improved speech understanding and universal connectivity, simplifying your hearing experience.

Fully rechargeable and dependable, the Phonak Slim is just one of the many advanced models we have at our Stratford-upon-Avon centre. Come visit us to explore an extensive range of cutting-edge hearing aids, all designed to help you navigate life’s diverse listening situations with ease and confidence.

The top Phonak Hearing Aids of 2023

Phonak Slim

Phonak Slim Premium hearing aid

The Phonak Slim is their most discreet hearing aid yet. This device provides exceptional sound quality while being virtually invisible in the ear canal. Built on the Belong platform, the Phonak Slim delivers rich, clear, and full sound quality, allowing for a much more immersive and comprehensive hearing experience.

For people who value aesthetics and discretion, the Phonak Slim is an unbeatable choice. It is designed to sit invisibly in the ear canal, making it virtually indistinguishable from a natural ear. But don’t let its small size fool you, the Phonak Slim packs impressive technology in its tiny frame.

With automatic adaptation to surroundings, the Phonak Slim allows you to enjoy the finest audio quality, regardless of the noise level in your environment. Its advanced noise cancellation feature eliminates background noise to ensure clear communication, whether you are in a crowded restaurant or at a busy workplace.

Phonak Audeo Lumity

The Phonak Audeo Lumity is a rechargeable hearing aid that takes advantage of the advanced sound processing capabilities of the Marvel platform. The primary feature of the Lumity is its SoundSense Adapt technology, which uses artificial intelligence to adapt to changing environments in real time.

Phonak Audéo Life™ Lumity is the second generation of the world’s first waterproof rechargeable hearing aid. Ideal hearing solution for anyone who has an active lifestyle and puts their hearing aids to the test.

Its unique Speech Enhancer technology boosts speech understanding by amplifying soft-level speech sounds in a quiet environment. Plus, with the Personalized Noise Cancelling feature, you can adjust the noise cancellation to your preference, ensuring you have the most comfortable and clear listening experience.

Invisible Hearing Aids

How Invisible Hearing Aids work and what to expect

Hearing loss is a common problem that affects millions of people. Hearing aids are one of the most effective ways to manage hearing loss. However we find that some people are hesitant to use them because they are visible and can affect self-esteem.

This is where Invisible Hearing aids come in. Invisible Hearing Aids are a great option for people who want to improve their hearing without the visible appearance of traditional hearing aids.

What are Invisible Hearing Aids?

Invisible Hearing Aids are small devices that are designed to fit inside the ear canal. They are custom-made to fit each person’s individual ear and are made from materials that are both comfortable and discreet. 

Benefits of Invisible Hearing Aids

woman wearing invisible hearing aids

There are several benefits to using Invisible Hearing Aids, including:

  • Improved self-esteem and confidence
  • Enhance quality of life
  • Improved hearing ability in social situations
  • Improved ability to understand speech
  • Better sound quality
  • Improved comfort

Types of Invisible Hearing Aids

There are two main types of invisible hearing aids, both of which we offer at our hearing centres in Stratford-upon-Avon and Worcester. 

Invisible-in-the-canal (IIC) are custom made hearing aids that fit deep inside the ear canal, making them virtually invisible. A person’s ear canal shape and size will have a bearing on how deep these devices can fit into the ear canal. 

The Phonak Lyric has a unique placement in the ear canal, it is inserted by a highly skilled audiologist using a microscope and sits 4mm from the ear drum making it the first 100%, completely invisible hearing aid.

You can wear this hearing aid for upto 2 months at a time and for all your daily activities, including showering and sleeping. It allows you to live life without constraints, with no battery changes needed. 

woman holding up invisible hearing aids Phonak Lyric

How do Invisible hearing aids work?

Invisible hearing aids use advanced technology to amplify sound and improve hearing. They work by using microphones to pick up sounds, which are then processed by a digital chip.

The positioning of them is also believed to be optimal for sound quality, as it allows the outer ear and ear canal to do its job and funnel sound naturally towards the eardrum.

How to know if you need hearing aids

There is no ‘one size fits all’ answer to hearing loss. Your hearing test results are crucial to making a diagnosis and treating any kind of hearing loss. In our state of the art hearing centre’s in Stratford upon Avon and Worcester your hearing will be diagnostically assessed using the most advanced audiology equipment available. Your hearing aids will then be bespokely made to your individual ear canal and customised to your hearing loss where we will ensure they will deliver the help you need in the situations you need it.

How much do invisible hearing aids cost

We understand that private hearing care can be considered expensive, but the on-going service required to keep your ears maintained, devices serviced and programmed efficiently can’t always be appreciated until it is required.

Our bespoke patient care plans are tailored to your needs and include the most suitable technology for you. They deliver you everything you need to benefit from your hearing aids, that would likely cost up to £510 per year if you purchased hearing aids from other providers and paid separately for our services.

Our plans are priced from £1,500 for a single ear as part of our Bronze package which offers:

1 custom made invisible in the canal digital hearing aid 

  • Premium care plan service
  • Manufacturer warranty cover
  • Lifetime clean and check
  • Ear wax removal

To find out more about our Premium Care Plans, click here.

Who can benefit from invisible hearing aids

If you are used to an active lifestyle, invisible hearing aids offer a secure fit. They have no external wires or tubes and are extremely comfortable to wear.

They also allow you to use your devices, such as telephone or headphones, with little to no feedback. Some devices also have Bluetooth which means you can stream your audio directly to your hearing aids.

However, they are not suitable for everyone. While your hearing loss needs to be taken into account, the major stumbling block to suitability is normally the size and shape of your ear canal. Whether it’s too small or too narrow, it means you won’t be suitable for these devices, which is something we can check for. 

Invisible hearing aids are a great option for people who want to improve their hearing without the visible appearance of traditional hearing aids.

“Discover the Life-Changing Benefits of Hearing Aids”

Hearing loss can be a difficult and emotional journey for many people, especially as it affects our ability to communicate with loved ones and participate in daily activities. However, there is hope with the help of hearing aids, which can change your life in ways you never imagined.

At WS Hearing, we understand the impact hearing loss can have on your life, which is why we are committed to helping you find the perfect hearing aid to meet your unique needs.

Hearing aids are small electronic devices that are designed to amplify sound and improve your hearing. They come in a variety of styles, including in-the-ear, behind-the-ear, and receiver-in-canal, and can be tailored to fit your specific hearing loss.

The benefits of hearing aids are numerous and can change your life for the better. Here are just a few of the ways hearing aids can improve your quality of life:

  • Improved Communication: With hearing aids, you can enjoy clearer and more natural-sounding conversations with loved ones, colleagues, and friends.
  • Increased Confidence: Hearing aids can help boost your confidence by allowing you to participate more fully in social activities, work meetings, and other events.
  • Better Overall Health: Untreated hearing loss can lead to cognitive decline, depression, and social isolation, but hearing aids can help you stay connected, engaged, and active.
  • Enhanced Safety: With improved hearing, you can stay alert to potential dangers, such as sirens, alarms, and other auditory signals.

At WS Hearing, we understand that hearing aids are an investment in your health and wellbeing, which is why we offer a wide range of options to suit your needs and budget.

Don’t let hearing loss hold you back from the life you want to live. Contact us today to learn more about the life-changing benefits of hearing aids and book an initial assessment with one of our experienced audiologists by calling 01789 264111 or email stratford@wshearing.co.uk

NHS vs Private Hearing Care

2 Min read

14th Feb 2022

Do You Know The Difference?

 

There are many aspects to consider between NHS and private hearing care and systems and hearing care.

Among the most important ones are:
•   Waiting times
•   Style
•   Technology
•   Continued Care
•   Costs

Digital hearing instruments can make a real difference in the quality of life for people that are struggling with their hearing, but choosing whether to get a hearing aid through the NHS, or privately, is a difficult decision.

You can book an appointment to see a hearing specialist for a private hearing test, which consists of a full evaluation of your hearing and ear health, at both our hearing aid centre in Worcester and our Stratford Hearing Centre. You will be shown the inside of your ear on a video otoscope, a pure tone audiogram will be performed to show the hearing thresholds and then a speech in noise test to establish a level of real world effective hearing.

 

During this consultation the audiologist will explain the difference between NHS or private hearing care and answer all your questions.

 

Director of Audiology, Tom Dixon says “We offer bespoke hearing solutions for each person that comes into our practice, no two people are the same.

Phonak Launches Virto Black

2 Min read

11th Jan 2020

The Marvel In The Ear Hearing Aids are Finally Here

As reported by our friends in Hearing Aid Know in their article, Phonak Introduces Marvel Custom Hearing Aid at CES. Although Phonak focused on one specific product at CES, Hearing Aid Know also reported that they are going to introduce the full wider Marvel Virto range. CES is the largest consumer electronics show in the world and in the recent past, hearing aid brands have used it to announce some of their outstanding new products. The Marvel has been a hugely successful product for Phonak at we have had some outstanding results with the hearing aids in Worcester. Let's take a look at what we know so far.

Why The Virto Black?

The Virto Black was announced at CES as a flagship device to garner attention on hearing loss and modern hearing aids. The Virto Black is a pretty exciting device and Phonak see it as an opportunity to begin breaking down the last vestiges of stigma around hearing aids. It has been designed to look similar in nature to the Hearables that we are seeing more and more across the world. It isn't a stand-alone device though, it is just one part of a wider launch of Virto Marvel products.

In The Canal

Phonak say that the Virto Black device is an In The Canal size device, although that may change based on the size of the ear canal and ear. The lads at Hearing Aid Know have said to be safe, consider it a half shell and if it isn't, that's a bonus. I would concur with them on that. But what about the rest of the range?

Full Range, Four Technology Levels

The Virto Marvel range will be a full range of ITE products available in the usual four levels of Phonak technology, that's the 90, 70, 50 and 30. The showstopper Virto Black will be also available in those tech levels and it will be powered by a 312 battery.

Hands-Free Calls

As with the rest of the Marvel range, you will be able to take hands-free calls with most of the Marvel Virto devices. You will also be able to stream audio from most Bluetooth enabled devices to the hearing aids. Unfortunately, the Marvel CIC and Marvel Titanium won't offer the same level of connectivity which is to be expected. The model types are too small to fit the hardware in.

Roger Direct

The Virto Black and larger Marvel Virto models will also avail of the outstanding Roger Direct system. It means that Virto Marvel users can connect directly to a Roger Pen or Roger Select and enjoy the amazing benefits of that technology. We expect the Virto Marvel range to be introduced sometime in February and we will keep you updated.

If you or a loved one is struggling with hearing issues, you can book your hearing test today.

Hearing Aids Success For Musician

2 Min read

4th Jan 2020

Going the extra mile to deliver real success for our Patients.

Mr Henderson came to Worcester Hearing Centre after years of struggling with his hearing. He had been through the process with other audiologists and not got the positive outcomes he was looking for.

Music, an Important Lifestyle Need

As a church organist, his hearing one of the most important factors in his life. Modern hearing aids include a variety of programs for everyday life, such as TV, car, social gatherings and music. But for a musician, the music program was still limited.

Tom, our director of audiology, fitted him in our practice with Phonak Audeo 90 Rechargeable hearing aids which were the best devices with high tech capabilities for Mr Henderson’s needs at the time. Tom knew that to get as near as possible to complete success for Mr Henderson he would have to go the extra mile though.

The Extra Mile

After the fitting, he went with Mr Henderson to his church to hear him play and experience what he goes through while playing the organ. He did a fitting and ran some tests on the devices to customise them to work their best for Mr Henderson’s particular needs.

Nobody had ever done that for him before.

Incredible Results

The results were incredible. Mr Henderson said that all the distortion he had struggled with before with other hearing aids was completely gone. For the first time in years, he was able to play and hear the organ like he was supposed to, the immense difficulty of playing with the distorted sound is a thing of the past.

“It has revolutionised my life. I now have the ability to play and enjoy it, it’s no longer a chore. Hopefully, the congregation enjoys my playing too” said Mr Henderson about how it has impacted his life.

We have been able to help a lot of people in difficult circumstances just like Mr Henderson. There is no such thing as ‘one size fits all’ in the world of hearing aids. Each hearing solution is as unique as its wearer; this is because not two cases of hearing loss are the same, just like no two people are the same.

At Worcester Hearing Centre, we pride ourselves in delivering outstanding bespoke solutions and hearing care.

If you or a loved one is struggling with hearing issues, you can book your initial assessment today.
