These days, hearing loss is not only experienced by retired people. The younger generation can also be affected due to exposure to high noise levels.
It is estimated that in excess of 500 million people around the world suffer from some hearing loss. In many cases a hearing aid may significantly improve quality of life, should the loss be detected and treated.
Such treatment can be undertaken by a qualified Hearing Aid Acoustician. It includes testing of hearing for hearing aid evaluation, fitting of hearing instruments, making of ear moulds and supply of assistive listening devices and hearing aid batteries.

Christine Adams is a hearing aid acoustician, with consulting rooms in Bergvliet and Fish Hoek, in the southern suburbs of Cape Town. Clients consult her in connection with their hearing problems, predominantly presbyacusis. After testing and evaluation, hearing aid fitting may be recommended. Hearing aids have come a long way in the last few years, with international companies providing the latest in digital technology. There are several different ways of fitting the hearing instruments, such as “receiver in the ear”, “behind the ear”, “in the ear”, “in the canal” and “completely in the canal”.
