Hear Me Out One of the advantages of having worked in both NHS and private hearing care is that you see the whole spectrum of practice, good and bad, in both sectors. When it comes to determining exactly what a client really needs from a quality hearing care service the answers are already there.
The majority of our clients that walk through our door have already come to terms with their hearing loss. If only they had realised that we also offer support and information about coping strategies such as how to cope with the emotional shock of losing your hearing.
Initial fitting and Follow up: Courtesy, care and attention to detail are just some of the values that we pride We can’t predict everyone’s needs on an ourselves on. Why would you pay top individual basis therefore we’ve compiled prices for a hearing care provider to fit comprehensive details of all that we offer good technology badly? for you to compare to your current hearing care provider (if you have one) or We ask ourselves that every day. People do seem to make impulse purchases the competition (if you’re still looking) based on a sales presentation promising Care, information and attention: all sorts of technological fixes from an Our clients want comprehensive training out of town company. Those promises in how to use their hearing aids, aren’t always fulfilled and the company is including, for example, how to use the far enough away to make it difficult for aids in different situations. access to follow ups and fine tunes. They want written information as well as practical demonstrations. They also like to be given some explanation as to why they lost their hearing and whether or not they need help in a medical setting. They want to know what other organisations may be able to offer assistance. Would they benefit from lip-reading classes? Are there any devices, which social services can provide to assist in the home free of charge?

We keep a computerised record of the performance of your hearing aid at final follow up. If you say you are not getting the same benefit from your hearing aid as at the initial fit we will reassess your hearing, re-evaluate the performance of your hearing aid in-situ and reset your hearing aid free of charge within the warranty period. How long is the warranty period you might ask? That’s the best bit. If you purchase any Phonak Swiss quality hearing instrument between now and 31st May 2011 you’ll get a free five-year warranty.
We’re in it for the long haul. We’re local, accessible and if you are new to hearing aids, we knowingly fit them conservatively, making several adjustments over repeated follow up visits to ensure you make the transition to amplification smoothly.
I think you’ll agree by now, our warranty is worth much more than the bulk of our competitors who’ll charge you extra if the problems you are having is unrelated to a hearing aid fault. If you buy a Phonak product from our premium range, you’ll also get a free TV listener worth £250 as part of the offer!
We are also one of the few companies in the area to routinely measure the output of your hearing aids using in-situ microphone technology. There’s no room for guesswork or messing about with a

and make Cubs as much fun now, as it was for us.
Why We Became Young Leaders at 1st Stalmine We first got involved in Scouting when we joined Cubs at Stalmine, and we then moved on to Scouts. As we got too old for Scouts, we realised we didn’t want to leave Stalmine, and we also wanted to put something back into the community seeing as we had had such a great time at Stalmine since we started. We initially decided to work with Cubs, and so we went to Young Leader training, these help us to learn the best way to help the leaders, and how to organise our meetings. At Stalmine Cubs we regularly plan evenings and help out with games when our leaders are busy with something else.
Recently Sam and Zoe have also started helping out at Scouts, by running games, giving the leaders a hand organising things, and helping the Scouts out with skills such as map work and knots. At the moment our Cub pack are doing badges, and so we decided that we would split our pack into groups, and let them choose from 3 different badges. We decided to do the environmental issues challenge badge, and so we worked on things like fairtrade, languages and tradition in other countries with the Cubs. We enjoy going to Cubs every week because it means we get to stay at Stalmine and help our new Leaders to get used to the way things are run in Cubs. It also works towards our Duke of Edinburgh award and gives us a chance to try
