There are many possible causes of hearing loss - anything from a damaged eardrum or a simple wax blockage, to deterioration of hearing commonly caused by the natural ageing process. In fact, around 1 in 2 people over 60 years of age have some degree of hearing difficulty so you are not alone.

Nature designed our hearing to work in stereo, so for the best sound quality, both ears should be functioning as well as possible.

Depending on your individual hearing loss, it may be that just one hearing system will vastly improve your quality of hearing and your quality of life, bringing back a range of sounds and a clarity that you may have forgotten. For others, a pair of hearing aids will be recommended.

Hearing loss is most commonly caused by damage to the hair cells in the cochlea located in the inner ear, this is either due to noise exposure or simply the natural ageing process.

Damaged hair cells will not send complete signals to your brain making speech sounds less distinctive especially in background noise.

Speech becomes difficult to follow and words appear to run into one another.
