Our Aftercare

Comprehensive, free aftercare

Every hearing aid we provide comes with comprehensive and free aftercare, for the lifetime of your hearing aid, designed to give you complete peace of mind. This includes follow-up appointments, servicing and hearing health check-ups.

Getting the optimum performance from your hearing aids is as important to us as it is to you. So you can contact us at any time with any concerns, issues or queries you might have about your hearing healthcare and your hearing aids.

With your FREE aftercare programme, you are entitled to free follow-up appointments, annual hearing health care check-ups and hearing aid servicing.

Our hearing aids also come with up to 5 years’ warranty.

Service you can rely on

Please bear in mind that comprehensive, free aftercare is crucially important when you purchase hearing aids, because unlike glasses, you can’t just put them on and walk away. You will need the ongoing care and support of a dedicated hearing care professional.

Independent hearing aid providers, like us, were the only hearing aid providers to achieve 5 stars in the Which? Survey of the Best Hearing Aid Providers, for aftercare!

Independent hearing aid providers are able to recommend hearing aids based on what’s best suited to your individual hearing loss, your specific needs and your lifestyle, from all the leading brands. Find out why seeing an independent audiologist is advantageous to you.

Depending on your level of hearing loss, it can sometimes take time to retune your hearing to the every day sounds around you. Correcting hearing loss is a very individual journey. That’s why our audiologist and patient support team will have regular follow ups with you so you can discuss your experiences and any concerns.

Your audiologist can fine tune programmes to ensure you achieve the optimum performance and effectiveness from your hearing aid.

What to expect in your follow up appointment

At your follow up appointment your audiologist will:

Discuss your progress and experiences so far
Ask you about the environments in which you’ve used your hearing aids
Determine whether your hearing aids need fine tuning as a result of your chat
Ask you whether your personal goals are being met and if not, advise what we can do to about it to help
Check the fit, comfort and ease of use of your hearing aids

Free annual check ups

Just like regular visits to your dentist help maintain your dental health and prevent the onset of problems, regular health care checks for your hearing are just as important.

As part of your free aftercare lifetime service, your local audiologist will invite you to have an annual check-up of your hearing health. They will examine your ears, check your hearing and ask you how your hearing aids are performing for you. They will also service your hearing aids and make any necessary adjustments or reprogramming.

Our patient support is here for you

Your hearing health is really important to us and that’s why our patient support team and your local audiologist are always on hand to help you.

Because we’re based in your local opticians, you can be assured of our attention and service when you most need it!

After all, getting the best value for money for your hearing aids isn’t just about the cost. It’s about getting the ongoing service you need, when you need it. We appreciate this can make all the difference and that’s why we pride ourselves on being different to other hearing aid providers!

Helen Murphy

“Had my first ever hearing test with Ciara Donnan at True Tone hearing today. I was put at ease immediately and the assessment process was outlined so I was aware of what was going to happen. Each part of the assessment was explained at each stage and Ciara went over my results with me, explaining the results and recommending options where required. I can’t recommend Ciara highly enough; she was very friendly, knowledgeable and put things in terms I could understand. An excellent experience.“

Mairead Diamond

“I am delighted to leave a review for Katie, Optometrist at BH McKeague, Ballymena. I was very unsure about choosing my hearing aids and about how these would perform better than my NHS ones. I cannot believe how good my Starkey AI bte hearing aids are. Katie had such patience, gave me very explicit instructions and I was completely confident I had chosen the right ones. Having no batteries was a big plus. I know if I have any issues Katie has assured me to get in touch at any time.“

Harry Childs

“Before meeting Shane Thompson at True Tone, I spent around £5,000 over 5 years with two leading audiologists, without any real improvement in my hearing. Shane gave me an extensive hearing test and helped cure an ongoing ear infection for me. His extreme care and attention, with my new True Tone hearing aids, has given me back a level of hearing I thought I wouldn’t have again.”

Angela Robinson

“Great service from Shane. Very helpful. I would definitely recommend a visit to him if you have any hearing problems.”
