Hearing Aids
A full range available from Trust Hearing
The Trust Hearing, Oswaldtwistle’s Leading Hearing Aid Centre
At The Trust Hearing, we know that the hearing aids you wear are incredibly important.
We only supply the very best hearing aids from the world’s best manufacturers – as no one ear or loss is the same, we recognise the importance of providing our patients with a bespoke solution.
As an independent hearing aid provider, we have complete freedom to recommend the best digital hearing aids to suit your needs.
There is a range of different hearing aid styles available, including Invisible in the ear (IIC), Receiver in the Canal (RIC) and Behind the Ear (BTE) hearing aids, so what’s the difference, and which hearing aid is right for you?
IICs fit snugly in your ear and recent miniaturization means we have space for wireless ear-to-ear operation, automatic noise sensing & remote control. These are bespoke, made to measure hearing instruments, designed and customised for your ear. Suitable for mild- to severe hearing loss. (Try the PHONAK Marvel90 TITANIUM)
The most popular hearing aid form; an RIC is a discreet, mini behind-the-ear hearing solution that uses a wire and a tiny speaker in the ear canal to deliver targeted amplification. This provides more natural sound and less occlusion (‘blocked ear’ feeling) than a traditional BTE aid. Suitable for mild- to severe hearing loss. (Try the PHONAK AUDEO B90 10): NOW AVAILABLE IN LITHIUM-ION RECHARGEABLE.
These are traditional hearing instruments that sit at the back of your outer ear. Sound passes through a tube to a comfortable custom ear mould. Usually prescribed for severe- to profound and complex hearing loss. (Try the PHONAK BOLERO V50)
An advanced RIC hearing aid that connects to your smartphone. Listen to calls in stereo; stream music and TV directly to your ears and adjust your hearing preferences on your phone. Suitable for mild- to severe hearing loss. (Try the OTICON OPN 1)
On the opposite end of the spectrum, premium hearing aids deliver all of the latest features. They are designed to handle the most complex listening situations, deliver the most natural sound quality and best speech clarity.
All modern hearing aids will have a mixture of different features, so hearing aids can be programmed by your audiologist to ensure you get the most out of them for your lifestyle. The easiest way to explain hearing aid features is almost like the Apps on your iPhone/ Smartphone, which all have a different purpose!
AutoSense OS is upgraded, twice the program-changing performance compared to the Marvel. You can now link up to 8 Bluetooth devices and answer calls with two taps of your ear!
A whole new world to enjoy. Traditional hearing aid technology delivers speech understanding in noise by focusing on one speaker, while suppressing all other. With Oticon Opn, users can handle multiple speakers simultaneously – even in complex environments, so they can focus on what is important and switch attention when desired.
Closing down sounds, closes down life: Technological limitations of current hearing aids have led to the use of narrow directionality to make speech coming from the front clear, while suppressing the rest of the sound environment.
OpenSound Navigator™ opens up life: With the OpenSound Navigator, directionality as we know it is now a thing of the past. Oticon Opn delivers the ultra-fast sound analysis and processing needed to provide hearing aid users with access to the sounds in their lives.
A new kind of hearing aid powered by the new ultra-fast Velox™ platform, Oticon Opn provides seamless connectivity to iPhone®, smartphones and other audio devices.
Utilising the intelligent operating system, AutoSense OS, Virto M offers more performance in a smaller size than any other custom hearing aid, due to its Floating Antenna. This is a breakthrough piece of technology which allows the leading UK manufacturer to create smaller and more agile custom products to ensure your hearing aid is discreet and seamlessly fits into your lifestyle.
Phonak benefits from an immense amount of British skilled technicians producing custom products for 10 European countries, and so when it comes to actually making a small IIC hearing aid that is built correctly and proves to be reliable, it’s usually Phonak that we choose. Now available in titanium custom ultra-thin shell.
Just launched, a truly unique RIC hearing aid with the microphone fitted into the receiver housing! It’s an interesting concept and early interest is strong. We allow you a free trial of the Resound One (in stock now).
