We supply a range of different style hearing aids, from in the ear to receiver in the canal aids. We know how important discretion is, and we strive to provide the most discrete hearing aids tailored to your hearing loss and lifestyle.
Revolutionary product features
We supply world leading hearing aids. They offer the best sound quality and the most discrete, comfortable fit.
Rechargeable
Rechargeable hearing aids work with a built in battery unit that can be charged up via a unique storage box — a stark contrast to traditional hearing aids with disposable batteries. You can rely on this modern technology to keep you hearing throughout the day, without batteries running out at crucial moments. At the end of every day you simply place them in their charger box to refresh overnight. Recharging hearing aids is as easy as charging a mobile phone or electric toothbrush.
Invisible
An invisible hearing aid is custom moulded to your ear, and sits discretely in your ear canal. There are no visible components on the outside of your ear. Unobtrusive and lightweight, these hearing aids can deliver exceptional sound quality close to the eardrum.
Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a way of digitally and wirelessly connecting your hearing aids to the sounds and technology you love. Hear speech from your TV, telephone or tablet without any loss of sound, and use your mobile phone to adjust the volume of your hearing aids. You can even have your TV on mute so as not to disturb others, and still hear it through your hearing aids!
What Are Hearing Aids?
You may be just starting out on your journey into hearing aids, or you may have had some previously which didn't fulfil your needs. The Open Ears team in Mansfield offer professional advice on which hearing aids will help you to reach your full hearing potential.
Over twelve million people are affected by hearing loss in the UK alone. You are not alone, and hearing aids can be incredibly valuable in restoring hearing clarity and quality of life.
These lightweight, high-tech devices enhance sounds that you have lost the ability to hear, and stimulate the brain with sound. There are many different types of hearing aid, from very tiny ‘invisible’ in the ear aids, to revolutionary Bluetooth and rechargeable models. The aim of wearing hearing aids is not only to break down communication boundaries and help you engage in everyday activities — they are very important for brain health too.
Did you know…
Evidence suggests that hearing loss is linked to more concerning health issues such as dementia, so scientists and health experts advocate wearing hearing aids as soon as you notice problems with your hearing. Our experts in Mansfield wholeheartedly believe in maintaining healthy hearing for the best possible quality of life.
How Do Hearing Aids Work?
The Open Ears experts have a wealth of experience with all types and brands of hearing aids. Modern digital hearing aid technology is very sophisticated, but all hearing aids work with the same principles.
Hearing aids carry sound through three different parts: the microphone, amplifier and speaker. The microphone detects sound waves and converts them into electrical signals. The power of these signals is then amplified. The speaker, also known as the receiver, turns these magnified signals into sound which is directed into your ear canal, where it can be heard by the individual with hearing loss.
Benefits of Hearing Aids
Our Open Ears professionals in Mansfield understand how much hearing loss can impact quality of life and communication. Our experts will program hearing aids specifically to your hearing loss and needs. Hearing aids can:
- Improve the clarity of speech and stop people sounding ‘muffled’
- Allow you to hear low volume noises with ease
- Make communication with other people more effortless
- Help you to hear on the phone
- Enhance the pleasure of listening to music, the radio and television programmes
- Lower background noise which can be disruptive and distracting
- Improve overall quality of life and help you to enjoy socialising again
Types of Popular Hearing Aids
The friendly and skilled team at Mansfield based Open Ears will work with you to help you decide which hearing aids will be most suitable for your hearing loss and lifestyle.
Bluetooth Hearing Aids
Bluetooth hearing aids allow you to connect to devices such as mobile phones, TVs and tablets, and are compatible with both Android and iOS. This transforms your hearing aids into a wireless headset, instantly enhancing the sound quality of phone calls, television, podcasts and music.
Rechargeable Hearing Aids
Supplied with a convenient, portable charging station, recharging is easy — leaving them to charge for up to four hours provides a full day's use. Their lithium batteries only need replacing every four to five years, saving money and offering an environmentally friendly option.
Behind-the-ear Hearing Aids
BTE hearing aids are positioned at the back of your ear, with a discreet, transparent tube linked to a dome or mould in your ear canal. Slightly larger than other devices, they benefit from advantages such as increased power, Bluetooth and telecoil (loop) functions, and suit all sizes of ears and stages of hearing loss.
In The Ear (ITE) Hearing Aids
ITE hearing aids have no wires and are custom moulded to sit in the ear canal, making them the most discrete option and sometimes easier to handle. They range from tiny invisible (IIC) aids to larger In The Canal (ITC) aids, with microphones shielded from wind and background noise.
How do I choose the right hearing aid for me?
There is no exact science to choosing hearing aids — what works for one person may not be appropriate for the next. Our experts will skilfully assess your needs, hearing loss, ear shape and budget. They are dedicated to helping you choose the hearing aid that will best suit you.
Our hearing aids start from £1595 for two
You will have the opportunity to try them on and enjoy a live listening experience.
