All hearing aids on the same basic principles. A miniature microphone picks up sound. An amplifier circuit makes the sound louder, and a tiny receiver/speaker delivers the amplified sound to the ear.

There are many types of hearing aids and hearing aid technologies. Digital hearing aids are smart and interact with other digital devices. These devices have sound signals that vary and are individual, bringing natural-sounding speech and audio enriched with depth and variation.

Digital hearing aids allow you to make the sound and volume to your personalised specifications and different settings.

It's Dementia Action Week.

Did you know that hearing loss is associated with a higher risk of developing dementia?

The more severe your hearing loss becomes and the longer you experience the loss, the higher your risk.

It’s possible that hearing loss increases dementia risk because it reduces how much your brain is stimulated by sound, and keeping your brain busy is good for reducing your dementia risk. It’s also possible that having hearing loss increases your chances of being socially isolated and depressed, which are also risk factors for developing dementia.

There’s some evidence that treating hearing loss with hearing aids helps reduce dementia risk.

To find out more about ways to reduce your risk of dementia, please visit the Dementia Australia weblink below. If you or someone you know is experiencing hearing loss please make an appointment to see us - 0240232055 or pop in to our Wallsend clinic - Shop 4, Dan Rees Street.

It can be easy to ignore slight decreases in our hearing, thinking that people are mumbling or that the TV or radio station have lowered their volumes.

We also might feel that we are too young to have a hearing loss or that a hearing test is something we can put off until later. This mindset can go on for years.

However, the impacts of hearing loss are broad and can be profound. They can create a loss of the ability to communicate with others which can lead to social isolation, loneliness and frustration.

For these reasons, you might stop going out to social functions, you may find that having to repeat yourself gets annoying for you and those you regularly communicate with. This can negative impacts on your mental health.

We can help.

We offer FREE hearing screens - if we find that you have a decrease in your hearing, we will suggest a more comprehensive test which takes an hour of your time.

Call 40232055 for an appointment, direct message us or pop into our clinic - Shop 4, Dan Rees Street Wallsend (opposite the Council carpark).

Many people see TV commercials or other advertising which show hearing aids that you pop in your ear and appear invisible. However, these types of hearing aids are not for everyone.

Many people wear a BTE hearing aid - meaning behind the ear. What are the benefits of wearing this type of hearing aid?

1. Comfortable since it doesn’t sit deep in your ear
2. Available with thin tube or with personalised ear mould
3. Provides the best amplification
4. Despite the size they are barely visible when worn
5. Easy to handle and clean
