Accessories and assistive listening devices
Assistive Listening Devices (ALD’s)
There may some more complex occasions where the hearing aids alone may not be the entire solution. Having difficulties listening to the television with other people, at meetings where there are multiple speakers, in large halls or places where the person or people are speaking at a distance can be very challenging listening environments.
These situations are not uncommon and at Edinburgh Hearing Practice we are fully aware of the challenges and frustration that this can cause for the whole household.
Edinburgh Hearing Practice offer a full range Assistive Listening Devices (ALD’s) that can be quickly and easily connected to your new or current hearing aids to help in these difficult listening situations, these include products such as:
TV Listening Devices
These small and neat products can be easily plugged in to your TV, the sound from the television is then streamed to your hearing aids – we can offer a number of products from the leading manufacturers and can quickly demonstrate these at Edinburgh Hearing Practice in Corstorphine.
Home Phone Solutions
The use of a home phone for hearing aid users can be a real headache as it is dependent on the quality of the phone and the placement of the hearing aid microphone next to the speaker of the phone. At Edinburgh Hearing Practice we can supply a range of landline phones that can deliver the speakers voice directly into the hearing aids. This gives stereo sound of the callers voice, meaning conversations with family or friends on the phone can be much more manageable and enjoyable again.
Mobile Phone Solutions
Mobile phones have become a part of our everyday life, but for hearing aid users they can be a real challenge. At Edinburgh Hearing Practice we can demonstrate the amazing products that can be linked using Bluetooth technology so that you can call or answer, hear and talk to the person at the other end of the phone – without actually touching the mobile phone!
Hearing Aid Remote Controls
Some of our clients also want a little more control of their hearing aids or they may have handling problems with such tiny devices, at Edinburgh Hearing Practice we can also offer a range of remote controls to make light work of our products. For more information just ask.

“Extremely kind and welcoming practice. I felt welcomed as soon as I walked in the door and everything was explained to me in a way I understood. Everything seemed to be within the normal margins and they were able to take excess wax away from one canal. Definitely going to incorporate hearing consultations as part of my regular health check ups. Finally, a special thanks to Neil and Martin who saw me today.”
