Fergusons Hearing Aid Clinic launch first of its kind state-of-the-art suite

Earlier this year RTE presenter, Ronan Collins joined staff at Fergusons Hearing Aid Clinic in Limerick City to show customers and clinicians their purpose-built hearing aid fitting suite, a first of its kind in Ireland.

Cian Daly, audiologist, says that Ferguson’s specialises in helping people overcome their hearing problems and it’s important to make sure their new hearing aids are fitted and tuned to meet all the sounds in their daily lives.

“Within this new suite, we recreate those challenging listening environments you experience at work, in public places, restaurants or while driving. This allows us to adjust your hearing aids to make sure you are getting the optimum benefit in those real-world environments before you leave our centre.”

Audiologist Pat O’Leary says the team enjoys the practice’s independence, allowing for the prescribing and recommending of the most appropriate hearing aids irrespective of the manufacturer.

It is the only Hearing Aid Audiology practice in Ireland to be awarded the international AIHHP (Association of Independent Hearing Healthcare Professionals) Centre of Excellence.

Pat went on to say that hearing loss can be caused by a variety of reasons including wax build-up, middle ear conditions, exposure to loud noise, heredity, aging, certain medications and certain medical conditions.

“When you call into us, we carry out a full hearing assessment to establish what’s causing the problem. Sometimes clearing out a build-up of wax can solve the problem or you may require a hearing aid to help you get your quality of life back.”

Fergusons Hearing Aid Clinic, an independent family-owned hearing aid audiology practice, has been helping customers in the Mid-West with their hearing needs since establishing in Limerick city in 1967.
