About hearing aids
Hearing aids are sophisticated electronic device designed to amplify and enhance sound for individuals with hearing loss. They consist of three main components: a microphone, an amplifier, and a speaker. Hearing aids are customized to meet the unique needs of each user, ensuring improved sound perception and communication abilities.
Hearing aids are now small and most discreet, in fact some models are even invisible. Modern hearing aids not only improve your hearing but they can also integrate with technologies such as mobile phones, TVs, tablets, PCs and laptop computers, music players and so much more.
Why Hearing Aids are Effective at Managing Hearing Loss
Hearing aids are highly effective in managing hearing loss due to their ability to amplify sounds and compensate for specific hearing deficiencies. By delivering clearer and more intelligible sound signals, hearing aids enhance speech comprehension, improve communication, and provide a better overall quality of life. Research has shown that using hearing aids can lead to increased social engagement, reduced cognitive decline, and improved emotional well-being.
Hearing Aid Fitting
To ensure optimal performance, hearing aids must be correctly programmed and fitted to the individual’s specific hearing needs. There is an art and skill to programming hearing aids. These are not devices you can simply purchase over the counter, place in your ears and hope for the best.
When you choose to be fitted with hearing aids at Alpha Hearing, you will have expert guidance and support from audiologists that care.
We take the time to ensure your hearing aids are accurately programmed, with specific features activated to ensure an optimal experience. We use professional fitting methods and advanced clinical equipment to program and fine-tune your hearing aids, maximizing their effectiveness and comfort. We also ensure you are clearly instructed and well supported so you get the most from your new hearing devices. We do all the hard work. You can sit back and enjoy the experience.
Alpha Hearing’s approach to fitting hearing aids offers guidance and support from your initial consultation and continues throughout your ongoing hearing care journey.
Hearing Aid Trial
As audiologists, we know that modern hearing aids, when programmed correctly, are excellent tools that really do work to improve your ability to hear and understand speech. Hearing loss should not stop you from enjoying life and living freely.
We offer hearing aid trials to provide you with first-hand knowledge of what you are missing, and if that missing sound is able to help you hear better and understand speech clearer. You can see and hear for yourself the improvement that hearing aids can offer and then decide if the benefits outweigh the cost.
Our no obligation approach means that you decide your next steps at the end of the trial.
Moreover, we fit all major global hearing aid brands and are not tied to any particular manufacturers. Hearing aid brands recommended and offered at Alpha Hearing include Beltone, Bernafon, Oticon, Phonak, Signia, Starkey, Unitron and Widex.
Hearing Aid Second Opinion & Reprogramming
It is really common for us to be approached by people who do not love their hearing aids, who are not confident with their hearing aids or in what has been recommended to them.
Not all audiology clinics are like Alpha Hearing.
Even if you already have hearing aids and have spent your money elsewhere, we are still happy to help. We believe that people who have hearing aids should be able to get the most out of them. Hearing aids are effective and commonly it’s simply incorrect programming or careless setup that is causing the problems.
We will not recommend new hearing aids if your existing hearing aids can be optimised. In most cases, by listening to your needs and gaining an understanding of your unique circumstances, we can help you obtain better results with your hearing aids.
Hearing aid styles
Hearing aids come in a range of technology levels, selection of styles and colours. Popular styles of hearing aids include:
Invisible-In-the canal (IIC’s) hearing aids
Custom made hearing aids to fit the unique, individual shape of your ear and sits deep inside your ear canal. Generally invisible to other people which makes these hearing aids are very discreet option.
Receiver in canal (RIC) hearing aids
These hearing aids have most of the electronics in a small robust casing that sits behind the ear. It is connected to a speaker that sits in your ear canal by a thin comfortable wire and dome. These hearing aids come in a range of hair and skin colours and offer a discreet but versatile option that suits a wide range of hearing losses.

Much like RIC hearing aids, BTE hearing aids have electronics in a robust casing that sits behind the ear and features a slim tub. These hearing aids can provide more power for those with higher degrees of hearing loss.
Behind the ear (BTE) hearing aids with earmould

Most hearing aids can be connected to these devices so you can hear the sound from your device in both ears. This enables you to stay better connected with your loved ones through phone calls as well as allowing you to enjoy the entertainment devices such as smartphones and tablets have to offer.
