New Hearing Aids & Upgrades in Clare

Getting a new hearing aid

It starts with a hearing test, so the audiologist has a clear picture of your hearing. From there, they'll talk you through whether a new hearing aid would help, what options would suit your situation, and what to expect from fitting through to follow-up adjustments.

Hearing aid upgrades

Hearing aids don't last forever, and hearing needs can change over time. If your current one feels less effective, needs frequent repairs, or you're just curious what's changed since you were last fitted, it may be worth upgrading your hearing aid — there's no obligation either way.

Home visits across Clare

Home consultations for hearing aids are available across Clare, from Ennis to Shannon and the surrounding area.

Help toward the cost

The PRSI Treatment Benefit scheme may be able to provide a contribution toward the cost of a hearing aid. See our Hearing Aid Grant page for a general guide.
