At the core of the Philips HearLink range is performance hearing aid technology, designed to offer optimum hearing support, while also enhancing your user experience. Key considerations include:

• SoundMap noise control and amplification that work together to focus on directionality and reducing unwanted noise, particularly in social situations, where amplifying clear speech is a priority
• SoundMap feedback canceller ensures an almost whistle-free experience
• Wireless connectivity links to your smart devices with ease
• Binaural coordination means that any changes you make to one aid will be automatically replicated in the other
• Extended dynamic range allows for better clarity of loud noises through an increased input signal range
• Low-frequency enhancement ensures that sounds coming from devices such as televisions and mobile phones are transmitted more clearly
• A diverse colour range to offer you the most discreet hearing aid possible

Despite already being easy to use and as innovative as hearing aids come, the Philips HearLink collection has been created specifically to work alongside a range of accessories that keep you firmly in control. The accessories that will help you to get the most from your new hearing aid include:

• Audio Clip: A surprisingly small piece of equipment that fulfils a large number of functions, from turning your hearing aid into a wireless headset for seamless use with screens, audio equipment and phones through to working as a direct microphone for conversation, it is a must-have that can be carried in your pocket
• TV Adapter: Designed specifically to let you listen to your television while on a low power setting, thus preserving battery life and preventing you from unexpected power outages
• Philips Remote: An easy alternative to on-aid buttons, you can use this small but non-fiddly remote to change your volume or programme settings

Philips HearLink prices vary, but you can find them at Costco. If you are unsure about hearing aid costs and need guidance, you should book a consultation with your hearing specialist, specifically to discuss which models cater for your needs and offer the best value. It is also worth considering future-proofing your purchase, so ask your consultant about the benefits of buying an aid for now, against investing in one that could support you, if your hearing loss develops.
