For those people who currently have a hearing loss, dealing it definitely correctly makes sense to geby purchasing a hearing aid. However, in order to correctly determine whether it is appropriate to use a hearing aid or not, taking a full hearing test provided by a registered and qualified hearing aid dispenser at Hearing Aids At Trade is necessary. If your hearing test result indicates that your hearing loss can be improved by using a hearing device, then you should prepare to purchase one that will meet your needs, lifestyle and budget.
Bluetooth Hearing Aids & Digital Hearing Aids
Due to thelatest advances in hearing aid technology, digital hearing aids, bluetooth and wireless compatible hearing aids are gradually becoming more popular in the current market. Nevertheless, traditional ones are still available. While comparing the traditional aids to the digital hearing aids and bluetooth hearing aids, users are expected to pay more for the new ones. It’s true what they say – “What you pay is what you get”. In other words, people should expect to pay more if they want hearing devices that are more efficient, along with stunning quality of sound and the automatic ease of use, especially when listening in noise.
Since most hearing aids come in a range of varieties and prices, your dispenser can recommend an affordable option if you are on a tight budget – it’s always best to make the most of the consultation with your dispenser and outline your expectations in the first instance.
Hearing Aid Brands
There are 8 main manufacturers who are as follows: Phonak, Oticon, Widex, Resound, Starkey, Siemens, Bernafon and Unitron. Most of the manufacturers are currently retailing bluetooth and wireless hearing aids. Each of these prominent eight manufacturers offers different ranges of aids and we would recommend researching the companies and their specialities to help you choose the hearing aid that’s right for you and your lifestyle.
NHS Hearing Aids
NHS hearing aids are sometimes wrongly considered to be the last resort for many individuals looking for hearing aids as their technology levels have improved over the years. Inconveniently, there is often a 3 month or more waiting list for an initial appointment at your local hospital to have your NHS hearing aids fitted. Bear in mind that everything is up to your Primary Care Trust. Another significant drawback of the NHS hearing aids is that they come in a limited variety of styles and technology and in many cases, sometimes also only offer one hearing aid even though two hearing aids are always the best option for better hearing.
Hearing Aid Batteries
Hearing Aids at Trade also offer hearing aid batteries at affordable prices supplied by Rayovac, Duracell and Zenipower. Hearing aid batteries come in four sizes which are number and colour coded, so be sure that you check before ordering so that you have the correct hearing aid batteries. We are also able to recycle all your old hearing aid batteries, so you can be sure that you’re disposing of your batteries correctly in a green and eco-friendly way.
History of Hearing Aids at Trade
Hearing Aids At Trade was established in 2009 by a practicing Hearing Aid Dispenser who not only still prescribes hearing aids on a day to day basis, but also has in his career has Managed and trained Hearing Aid Dispensers to the highest standards of excellence for the National Company he worked for in the U.K.
He tirelessly campaigns the Government and hearing aid manufacturers in an attempt to improve the standards of practise in an attempt to clean up what he feels is an already tarnished industry.
Being restricted of not being able to offer his clients the full range of hearing aids from all of the hearing aid manufacturers, made it impossible for him to always give his clients his best advice. Coupled with this were the very high hearing aid prices that are still being charged today, were the motivations for him to establish Hearing Aids At Trade (H.A.A.T.).
The advice you will receive from a H.A.A.T. independent hearing aid dispenser is more likely to be totally unbiased because H.A.A.T. is NOT owned by any single manufacturer and most importantly their recommendations will always be suited to your needs and reflect the demands that you need to improve your own personal lifestyle, rather than being geared towards their own personal gains.
What makes H.A.A.T. different is that all of our products and prices are transparently provided, with no hidden extras or re branded products. We wont invent silly offers that only confuse the consumers ability to decide what products are most suited to them.
Another important factor we also believe in, is that premium hearing aids should not have to come at a high price. You can in fact pay up to £7500 for premium branded hearing aids on the high street, meaning savings of up to a staggering 60%.
This is why nearly all National hearing aid companies do not openly offer hearing aids from all of the major hearing aid manufacturers. Interestingly some hearing aid companies will hide their high prices behind re branded hearing aids, which in some cases actually contain much older and out of date technology. This is also because they are either owned directly or indirectly by one of the major hearing aid manufacturers, or that they have large unit sales targets to achieve in order to qualify for large bulk buying discounts. These discounts are actually critical to them in order to make a profit. However no matter how many hearing aids a national company prescribes, they will always have very large over heads or fixed costs to pay for week in week out, such as wages, rent, rates, training, company cars and head office costs.
H.A.A.T.’s only overhead is our web site. That is why we are and will always will be consistently cheaper than all of the high street hearing aid companies. We will also guarantee that in the future, any manufacturer discounts will be passed directly back to you in savings. In other words our prices will only get lower, the more that people buy through us .
