Choosing your Hearing Aid
There are six main or “top” manufacturers of hearing aids in the world. These are:
- Sonova (Phonak and Unitron hearing aids)
- GN Resound
- Sivantos (Signia hearing aids)
- William Demant (Oticon hearing aids)
- Starkey
- Widex.
Walker Hearing Clinic is a totally independent hearing aid provider. Unlike most other hearing aid providers in Ireland, we are not wholly or partially owned, tied to or in any kind of supply agreement with any one manufacturer. This is done purposefully to ensure that we are free to supply the best, latest and newest technology to our patients.
For that reason, we currently choose to supply Phonak hearing aids. Phonak are currently the number one manufacturer of hearing aids worldwide and were the first to launch rechargeable hearing aids with direct connectively. If for whatever reason you have a preference for another manufacturer, of course we supply these also.
