Hidden Hearing Offers Ear-Moulds To IDK’s “Kids”
By admin | August 18, 2010
Earlier this year, Hidden Hearing (the hearing-aid provider) contacted IDK about the difficulty parents can have in sourcing hearing aids and earmoulds for their children. Ear-moulds give parents particular grief, as children grow in millimetres and a new set may not fit if it is delayed for a few months.
Hidden Hearing will fit IDK’s “kids” with new earmoulds at a 20% discount on the €50 price. Please contact your nearest branch for an appointment.
Earmoulds fit in the ear, as part of a hearing-aid. If a child’s moulds don’t fit tightly, their aid/s whistle with feedback. Loose moulds spoil a child’s ability to hear with aids, especially if aids are turned down to cut ensuing feedback.
Badly-fitting ear-moulds are a double-whammy for a child with hearing-aids, and a very young child may need new moulds monthly, as they grow.
We are very grateful to Hidden Hearing for giving IDK’s “kids” this option in light of HSE delays, and look forward to positive “feedback” (pun intended).
