Independent hearing care & hearing aid providers

Local, independent hearing aid providers in Northern Ireland

We’re Northern Ireland’s experts in hearing care. We provide independent hearing health care through your local optician’s practice, in your local community.

And because we’re a completely independent hearing care provider, we always only recommend hearing aids based on what’s best suited to your individual hearing loss, your specific needs and your lifestyle. Rather than suggesting a hearing aid model based on which manufacturer we may be commercially affiliated with, unlike many hearing aid retailers.

So you can be assured of a hearing solution that is suited to you, not us.

Unbiased hearing advice you can trust

With us, you’re guaranteed to receive unbiased hearing advice that you can trust from a local hearing aid audiologist who is Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and British Society of Hearing Aid Audiologists (BSHAA) registered.

Your local True Tone hearing aid audiologist will build a relationship with you and take the time to make sure you get the very best from your hearing aids, because we appreciate that this is what is needed for you to get a new lease of life from your new hearing aids.

Getting the right hearing aids is all about you, your lifestyle and what you need your hearing aids to do. Our audiologist will advise you and help you on your journey to restoring your hearing!

Choose from all the leading manufacturers, not just one!

We offer the very latest technology in an extensive range of hearing aids, from ALL the World’s leading hearing aid brands, including ReSound, Starkey, Signia, Widex, Oticon, Bernafon, Oticon and Unitron.

Our Audiologists regularly review the very latest developments in hearing aid technology to ensure you receive the best possible hearing aid model for your budget. These include rechargeable aids that do not need batteries; aids that sync with most Bluetooth devices; aids with artificial intelligence to automatically adapt to your surroundings; even aids with fitness tracking, fall detection and emergency contact alert functions.

First class aftercare to suit you.

Being independent, and therefore flexible in our approach, means we’re set up to offer the highest levels of service and aftercare as standard. And our patient focussed team make sure they deliver the service and aftercare that suits you, not us!

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, caring, audiologist.

Which? survey shows independent hearing aid providers are rated the most highly

Independent hearing aid providers like us, were rated the most highly amongst patients, over and above all the High Street retailers! That’s the feedback from leading consumer magazine, Which? in their July 2022 article on the ‘Best Hearing Aid Providers’, based on a survey conducted in June 2020 of 1,572 hearing aid customers.

“Local independents excelled at thoroughness of testing and staffing (including knowledge and professionalism). Survey respondents also praised their aftercare and price (including value for money).”

What our patients say

Geoff Hill

“Nicole is a genius. After she ‘hoovered’ my ears for wax yesterday, I came home and listened to my astonishing hi-fi, and it was like having an upgrade. And a lot cheaper than getting a new hi-fi!!”

Pat O'Hare

“Just had a wonderful customer service experience with your Audiologist, Ciara, in your Newry, Co Down clinic. A relatable, understanding and very professional audiologist. I will be recommending Ciara and her service far and wide. Thank you so much for a very positive experience.”

CM

“Huge thanks for a great experience when I had hearing aids fitted. Your patience, caring, and time taken with me was exceptional. Your lovely, cheeky personality made all the difference to me and put me at ease. Good to know that I can contact you anytime and very convenient to have your hearing aid clinic in my local opticians. Thank you.”

Aisling Leonard

“I had my first appointment in True tone hearing Armagh clinic my hearing specialist was Ciara Donnan as soon as I entered the room for my appointment she made me feel very at ease with her personality and her knowledge of her job I left feeling reassured and with the outcome that I was hoping for thank you Ciara!“

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.“

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.“

Francis Hickinson

Very professional and caring”

“I have tried 4 different types of hearing aids in the past, but none came close to the Starkey hearing aids Conor fitted for me. So many helpful features. I am able to listen to the TV, group conversations and converse on the phone with ease. Just a vast improvement to my everyday life. Thank you!”
