Client Testimonial - Colin

"I worked in the joinery and carpentry industry for many years, and it significantly affected my hearing. Fortunately, I was eligible for ACC funding to help cover the cost of hearing aids. I am grateful for ACC's support"

When I first started looking into hearing aids, I tried two brands and four technology levels, but none seemed to improve my hearing. That changed about eight years ago when I visited an independent hearing clinic in Dunedin and found a pair that worked well for me. The service there was exceptional, and they took great care of my hearing needs.

Recently, it was time to replace my old hearing aids. Now living in Timaru, I sought out Bellbird Hearing, another independent clinic. From the moment I walked in, the staff were professional, caring, and made the process simple and straightforward.

After very helpful discussion and advice with Bellbird Hearing, it was decided that the brand that had served me well before was the most appropriate hearing aid brand to be fitted with again.   Bellbird Hearing not only provided what I needed but also allowed me to trial two different technology levels. This helped me choose the best option for my lifestyle and personal needs.

At 79, I lead a very active lifestyle and consistently use my hearing aids for over 12 hours each day. These devices give me the freedom to continue enjoying my activities. Whenever I’ve needed minor adjustments, the team at Bellbird Hearing has always been there for me with professional and diligent service.

I am a strong advocate for both my hearing aids and Bellbird Hearing. If you have hearing issues, my advice is simple: take that first step and 'Give them a try.'"
