‘Will I be able to have a hearing aid that is discreet and invisible in my ear?’

Starkey technology - innovation in a small package

At Midland Hearing Care we specialise in providing bespoke hearing technology solutions to patients with hearing loss. One of the first questions asked by a newly diagnosed hearing loss patient is: ‘Will I be able to have a hearing aid that is discreet and invisible in my ear?’

Starkey – the art of small

When looking for a neat and discreet hearing aid technology solution, look no further - our clinic offers the Starkey Signature Series range of the smallest invisible-in-canal (IIC) and completely-in-canal (CIC) battery-operated hearing aids. To provide the best of both worlds, we also offer a range of completely-in-canal (CIC) custom rechargeable hearing aid solutions, compatible with smartphone app and hearing aid accessories as well.

Hearing loss statistics in Ireland

Did you know that in Ireland people with untreated hearing loss wait nearly seven to ten years before undergoing a formal assessment of hearing? Hearing loss is currently estimated to occur in one in five people over the age of sixty. It is estimated that one in twelve people in Ireland will acquire a permanent hearing loss. Research indicates that 50 per cent of those over seventy-five years of age, say that they experience some degree of hearing loss, according to the Irish Longitudinal Study of Ageing (Tilda, 2023) Trinity College Dublin. 

Hearing loss stigma

Today, despite wonderful hearing aid technology advancements and the availability of smaller, more powerful hearing aid technology solutions – there is still a stigma associated with hearing loss and ageing. With a cohort of people with untreated hearing loss, delaying rehabilitation of their hearing loss or not wanting to wear hearing aids that are visible to others. 

Starkey innovation

As the leader in hearing aid technology and custom products, Starkey an American brand of hearing aid technology has always set the pace when it comes to fitting the best sound and most functionality in the smallest hearing aids possible. 

Starkey has mastered the art of small hearing technology aid solutions and our patients are very pleased. We have had a number of suitable patients consider Starkey technology for their bespoke hearing and communication needs.

First impression - a lasting impression

For custom hearing technology solutions, our clinic’s Audiologists will take a deep ear canal ear impression using silicon putty to obtain a 3D image of ear canal anatomy. We have digital ear impression scanning technology onsite to digitalise ear impressions and order custom technology within seven to ten business days.
