Book An Appointment

My wife persuaded me to visit Preston Hearing Centre even though I already wore NHS hearing aids. I was fitted with two state of the art Phonak hearing aids on a trial basis. Early one morning my wife awoke me and told me to put my hearing aids in. She took me to the door to hear for the first time in my memory the dawn chorus, what a pleasure and shock to my system ! I went back to the Hearing Centre and purchased my hearing aids the next day.

I listen to a lot of music and have a high quality music system. With my new Phonak Audeo hearing aids I’m now getting a good range of frequencies from my speakers and I’m enjoying my music to the full. I can also hear the television infinitely better. The overall sound quality of these hearing aids is fantastic.

After some internet research I contacted a few specialists in the Preston area. Irene Taylor was able to supply the Widex Beyond 440 made for iPhone hearing aids £1500 less than a previous quote. She tested me quickly after work and got my aids in about a week, just before the rundown to Christmas. The aids are astonishingly clear and I am happy to wear them for longer. The sound automatically adjusts to the surroundings and you don’t have to play around with the settings much. Noise reduction actually works – the hum from the air conditioning at work is suppressed. Connectivity with iPhone is more than a gimmick, my phone rings in my ears and I can answer calls hands free without disturbing others. I can vary the tone with the downloaded app, and I can change the direction of the microphones to hear those behind me when I’m driving or to suit if I’m stuck at the end of a restaurant table. I can place the microphone of my iPhone next to a source (like TV) and listen through the aids. Whenever a video plays on Facebook or YouTube or I listen to a tune on Spotify the sound is automatically relayed to my ears.They also automatically connect to my iPad so that if I’m awake during the night I can watch TV without disturbing my other half. There are still more features to come on the app and I look forward to them. I can’t thank Irene and her staff enough for accommodating me with regards to appointments, getting me state-of-the-art aids and I am happy to recommend Irene and Preston Hearing Centre.
