Khiyam Hussain of Hear Better With Us talks Nub News readers through finding the best care for their hearing.

When it comes to hearing care, selecting the right provider is essential for receiving the highest quality, personalised treatment.

At Hear Better With Us, located in Kenilworth we, specialise in both ear wax removal and hearing care, offering expert services that are tailored to your individual needs.

To help you make an informed decision, we've put together a guide that outlines the key factors to consider when choosing a hearing care provider. 

Credentials and Qualifications: Understanding the Difference  

One of the most important factors in choosing a hearing care provider is understanding their credentials.

Different professionals offer varying levels of expertise when it comes to diagnosing and managing hearing health.

Here is a breakdown of the key roles:  

Audiologists are qualified professionals with degrees in audiology who specialise in hearing health care.

They are experts in diagnosing and managing a wide range of hearing and balance disorders.

At Hear Better With Us, you will be seen by a qualified audiologist who will assess your hearing needs and recommend the most suitable treatment options.

Hearing aid dispensers focus on fitting and programming hearing aids.

While they are skilled in this area, they do not have the same level of training to diagnose underlying hearing problems as audiologists.  

In the UK, ear wax removal specialists may have minimal training, as certification is not always required.

To ensure safe and effective treatment, it is always best to choose trained medical professionals such as audiologists, ENT consultants, or GPs.

It's important to note that ear wax removal is increasingly being offered in non-medical settings like salons, where trained medical practitioners may not be available.

For your safety, it's best to avoid these settings.

Experience Matters  

When it comes to hearing care, experience plays a crucial role.
