It can be a difficult truth to accept as you age that your body begins to deteriorate. However, deteriorating hearing can have a bigger impact than just deafness. Studies have suggested that the combination of ageing and hearing loss can increase your likelihood of getting dementia, as it becomes easier to be mentally unengaged with your surroundings, meaning your brain doesn’t work as hard, and you begin cognitive deterioration.
Therefore, improving your hearing becomes a necessary step towards your improved health and wellbeing, as it keeps your brain stimulated. But how do you know if you’re losing your hearing health?
You could be losing your hearing health if you experience the following scenarios:
- People always seem to be mumbling
- The TV’s volume is dim or barely audible to you – but others comment that it is excessively loud
- You find yourself asking people to repeat themselves in conversation
- You experience ringing or buzzing in your ears
- You isolate yourself from group conversations because you find it difficult to follow the conversation – especially when there is additional background noise
- You are finding it difficult to hear voices clearly on the telephone
If any of these symptoms apply to you and you’d like to talk about the next steps toward a solution and a risk free hearing aid trial, contact our friendly team today for more information and request an appointment.

How To Choose The Right Hearing Aids For You
There are 4 primary factors that our clinicians take into consideration when recommending the right hearing solutions for you:
- Hearing Test Results
- Lifestyle Needs
- Cosmetic Concerns
- Budget/Price
We offer four primary options of hearing aid – that serve your needs and cosmetic preferences:
- Invisible-In-Canal (IIC) – These are the most discrete style of custom-made hearing aids available. If you’re highly concerned about the cosmetic implications of getting a hearing aid, these might be the best for you.
- In-The-Ear (ITE) – These hearing aids fit inside the ear and are custom made to fit the canal and suit your skin tone. They are comfortable and easy to clean and maintain and offer more power than a IIC.
- Receiver-In-Canal (RIC) – These are the most popular style of hearing aid on the market due to their power, discreetness and variety of features. Additionally, they can easily adjust to meet your hearing needs.
- Behind-The-Ear (BTE) – These hearing aids are similar to RIC but sit behind the ear and deliver sound to the ear via a sound tube or a thin tube attached to a dome or an ear mould. Their power makes them best for dealing with more severe hearing losses.
With so many options it can be difficult to know what will suit you the best. Thankfully, here at Clarity Ear Clinic we can guide you through the process simply. We’re committed to finding you the best hearing aid solution for your requirements – that’s why we offer a free hearing aid trial and offer unbiased, professional advice when it comes to what will suit you and your needs the best.
