Next Step Hearing is a new way of getting access to the best in hearing healthcare.
Our audiologists are trained in hearing aid fitting, including the gold-standard ‘Real Ear Measures’, that allow us to ensure your hearing aids are performing as they should.
We offer a unique and flexible aftercare service to give you access to the best hearing technology that meets the needs of your ears and your bank balance.
What is Next Step Hearing?
Our hearing aids are designed to be fitted on the same day as your hearing assessment, so when you are ready to take the Next Step in communication, so are we.
We believe accessing high-quality hearing healthcare should be easy for everyone. In most cases, hearing aids have the aftercare and support appointments priced into their overall cost. While this can give a lot of reassurance to a new hearing aid user, it can also mean that you may be paying for services you don’t end up using.
The benefits of Next Step Hearing
Our Next Step Hearing range was created as an innovative model that ensures gold-standard hearing aid fittings and puts control of the aftercare costs in the hands of our customers. This allows us to make the cost to you much lower than normal while giving you the best care and hearing aid performance.
Every hearing aid fitting will include all the elements recognised to give the best hearing outcomes to our patients:
- An in-depth diagnostic hearing test
- Otoscopy (ear examination)
- Initial ‘comfort’ fit of hearing aids
- Follow up at 4 weeks with Real Ear Measurement
- Free aftercare for the first 12 months*
- *Maximum of 2 free aftercare appointments
When you buy a hearing aid you may not be aware of it but you are paying up front for a service package to enable your Audiologist to look after you for the lifetime of the hearing aids.
With our Next Step Hearing range we recognise that you may not need or be ready for hearing aids that you wear all day. Because of this you may not need or get the full benefit from a lifetime hearing aid care package.
Our hearing aids are priced to include all the support and aftercare you may need in the first 12 months of use. After this you may not need a lot of support for quite a long time until your needs change
So when you are beginning to experience some hearing problems and would like some help the Next Step Hearing range is here for you.
