Established independent hearing aid provider

We fit the latest technology in all the styles, from small custom made hearing aids that fit in your ears out of sight, to rechargeable hearing aids with Bluetooth technology that connect to your phone for taking phone calls and playing audiobooks or music. We even fit hearing aids that fit on glasses and hearing aids that send sound to your ears via bone conduction.

It typically takes time for people to adjust to wearing hearing aids as your brain gets used to amplified sounds.  We call this the acclimatisation period. It can take anywhere from just a few weeks to 3 months to fully acclimatise to wearing hearing aids.

For those with hearing loss in both ears, using two hearing aids can significantly improve the ability to localise sound and understand speech in noisy environments. Our Shropshire & Wolverhampton audiologists can provide assessments to determine if binaural hearing aids are the right choice for you

Some hearing aids have rechargeable batteries, while others use disposable ones. Battery life varies based on the type and usage but in general disposable batteries last for from 3-4 days for the smallest hearing aids and 5-7 days for the larger hearing aids.

The obvious difference is that NHS hearing aids are free, but private hearing aids you have to pay for. However, the hearing aids issued by the NHS use an older, basic technology, limited to the over-the-top style of hearing aid, whereas private hearing aids have advanced technology to help you hear over background noise, help mask tinnitus, and some have recharging, Bluetooth connectivity, etc., and come in a wide variety of styles that are more discreet.

Getting an NHS hearing aid in Shropshire typically involves a referral from your GP and has waiting times of around 6 months, and then aftercare is limited. With private hearing aids, we can test and fit you choice of hearing aids in a couple of weeks.

Typically, hearing aids have a lifespan of 5 to 10 years. However, this can vary based on the model and how well they are maintained. If you to outdoor sports or hike a lot making use of the great countryside in Shropshire then you may benefit from waterproof hearing aids. These will also last longer when exposed to the elements and need less maintenance. At Interhearing, lifetime aftercare is included with all our hearing aids.

We compete on the internet so we have some of the lowest prices available. In fact we are up to 50% cheaper than some of the Highstreet prices, but unfortunately hearing aids just aren’t cheap. The prices of hearing aids can go from £1395 to £1995 for a single hearing aid or £2195 to £3895 for a pair of hearing aids. The price depends on the level of technology and style. All our hearing aids come with a 2 week free trial, life time aftercare, annual hearing assessments and check-ups.

While hearing aids are designed to amplify sounds and improve speech comprehension, they do not replicate the natural hearing process. Residents of Shropshire & Wolverhampton considering hearing aids should have realistic expectations regarding the capabilities of these devices.
