Many national hearing companies are owned by or ‘in agreement’ with specific manufacturers, which means that you may be offered only hearing aids by that manufacturer, limiting your choice. Many also ‘rebrand’ products so you do not know what you are getting and cannot compare prices online. These companies also have large infrastructures: head office, marketing departments, area managers etc. which all requires financing, their prices are therefore generally a lot higher than independent providers.
We are totally independent and can therefore offer the full range of hearing aids available on the market. Each manufacturer specialises and excels in different areas. Let our experience and expertise help choose the right hearing solution for you
GN Resound
