Complete Support for Every Stage of Your Hearing Health

At Hearing Point, we offer more than just hearing test and hearing aids. We provide a range of specialised services designed to enhance your hearing experience, protect your ears and support your long-term well-being.

Whether you are looking for technology to complement your hearing aids, protect your hearing from loud noise or manage tinnitus, our experienced audiologist is here to help.

1. Assistive Listening Devices (ALDs)

Enhancing Clarity in Challenging Environments

Assistive Listening Devices (ALDs) are helpful tools for individuals with hearing loss, especially in situations where hearing aids alone may not be sufficient or for those not yet ready for hearing aids. ALDs reduce background noise, improve sound clarity, and overcome distance or physical barriers between you and the sound source.

Common ALDs and hearing aid accessories:

Wireless TV Headphones – Offer speech enhancement and excellent sound clarity for TV watching
FM Systems – Transmit speaker’s voice directly to your hearing aids via FM or Bluetooth
Alerting Devices – Use flashing lights or vibrations for doorbells, alarms, and more.
Bluetooth TV Streamers – Stream sound from TVs or smartphones directly to compatible hearing aids
Remote Microphones – Clip onto a speaker’s clothing to send their voice straight to your ears

Our audiologists recommend ALDs only after a detailed assessment of your hearing, lifestyle and listening needs.

2. Ear Plugs

Earplugs are designed to protect your ears in different situations and choosing the right type can make a big difference.

Types of Ear Plugs:

Noise-Reducing Earplug- They protect your hearing in loud environments such as concerts, factories and while operating loud machinery. For optimal comfort and effectiveness, they can be custom-made to fit your ears perfectly
Musicians' Earplug – These are designed to filter out specific frequencies, allowing for better sound clarity while protecting hearing.
Swimmer's Earplug – They create a watertight seal for better protection from water.
Sleep Earplug - These are soft, comfortable plugs designed to block out snoring, traffic and other night time noises.

At Hearing Point, we’ll assess your daily activities and exposure levels before recommending the most suitable hearing protection for your lifestyle.

3. Tinnitus Evaluation and Management

Support for Ringing, Buzzing, or Humming Sounds in Your Ears

Tinnitus is the perception of sound (e.g. ringing, buzzing, hissing) when no external sound is present. It may be constant or occasional and can range from mildly annoying to severely distressing.

Common Causes of Tinnitus

Hearing loss (e.g. age-related or noise-induced)
Earwax build up or ear infections
Ototoxic medications
Head or neck injuries
Medical conditions (e.g. high blood pressure, Meniere’s disease)

Tinnitus Management Options

Hearing Aids

If tinnitus is linked to hearing loss, hearing aids may help -

Amplify environmental sounds
Mask tinnitus
Improve communication and reduce listening fatigue
Many modern devices include built-in tinnitus masking features.

Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT)

It is a structured, evidence-based approach to managing chronic tinnitus. It aims to help people habituate to the ringing sound so that it becomes less intrusive or distressing over time.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

A type of therapy that helps reduce stress and anxiety. It can make it easier to cope with tinnitus.

Sound Masking Devices

It can help with reducing the perception of tinnitus by adding background noise to distract the brain.

White noise machines
Nature or ambient noise apps
