AS WE get older, our lifestyle and hearing needs change.
Natural Hearing provides maintenance of lifestyle for the people of Yarra Valley communities, through individually tailored hearing solutions.
Through their business, they support the local community while creating hearing awareness through free hearing tests on an annual basis.
This helps to shed light on how hearing loss can impair an individual’s life and general well-being.
Natural Hearing supplies many professional services, which include hearing tests, and tinnitus assessment and management.
They offer free trials of world-leading digital hearing aids, which are tailored to each individual, as well as pre-employment hearing tests.
The organisation is a contracted provider with Worksafe Victoria and can offer advice and referral to a doctor when required.
The business prides itself on its presence five days a week, where the people of the Yarra Valley are most welcome to attend, upon appointment.
They can help people with any brand of hearing aids if they break down, while also providing loan aids for the time of repair.
Natural Hearing supplies all the top brands, including Bernafon, Hansaton, Oticon, Sonic Innovations, Starkey, Persona Medical, Siemens, Phonak, Unitron, GN ReSound and Widex.
The business said there was much research which suggested a strong relationship between hearing loss and dementia: the longer it is left untreated, the worse the consequences.
They believe that once the damage is done, it is irreversible.
Natural Hearing encourages hearing checks each time you go for a general health check-up.
About 28.3 per cent of people aged 51-60 years have hearing impairments, which go unnoticed until reported by family or friends.
Over half the population aged between 60 and 70 have a hearing loss.
Natural Hearing has 25 years of experience, nationally and internationally.
The business is actively involved in the field trials of new generations of hearing aids.
From 2 March to 31 May, the business is offering a free hearing test and free trials of German engineering (Siemens).
It is claimed the new technology can bring hearing close to normal, and in some cases better than people with normal hearing.
