“My hearing is seamless when I go about my days activities. I can hear my wife when we have breakfast, I can hear my grandchildren in the back of the car on the way to school and my friends when we visit our favourite café. My hearing is now effortless with my new hearing aids”

Peter has been wearing hearing aids for 5 years.

His hearing aids use Artificial Intelligence, so your hearing aid can more accurately amplify what you need to hear in each environment and not amplify what you don’t need. Because Hearing Consultants is an Independent Audiology clinic with no financial, ‘deals’ behind the scenes, we will always offer you the best hearing solution for you.

Do you think it is the best-looking street in the country? Or is there another street you think is more beautiful? Please put 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you do not want it included in an article. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts.
