What do most people think that auditory rehabilitation is? It’s easy to tell if you have hearing difficulties. You don’t need someone to tell you.

The audiogram is part of a process of finding out why you have hearing difficulties. It’s not all that useful as a component of auditory rehabilitation. If you find that you are beginning to have difficulties hearing, what is your ideal way of finding a remedy, or solution, so you can manage better? I’d love to know. For most people, the solution is to get the best hearing aids you can.

We work very hard at Blamey Saunders hears to decide the best way to get people started with hearing aids.

I spent a lot of time in the early 1980’s counselling people on how to manage hearing aids and what to do. 1980’s hearing aids are a long way from our hearing aids.  Ear trumpets were probably better.

Our hearing aids, today, are much better – we have many clients enjoying them. They are designed for you to set up to sound comfortable, in your own time, at home.  That’s auditory rehabilitation.

We no longer need to spend all that time counselling with most people. That’s the past – or it’s inferior quality hearing aids.

For most people, getting on with using excellent hearing aids, set up for audibility and comfort is all that is needed. I for one, am glad that I am not back in the 1980’s spending hours counselling people into accepting technology that wasn’t up to the job.
