Hi,

Hope someone can help me. I got 82 year old mother with hearing problem. I want to help her improve her hearing...
But I don't know where to bring her.... and I've seen some hearing aid clinic... but cost like a bomb >rm5000

Thanks

my bf's grandpa got it at around RM 2k; but not too sure where he got it.....nevertheless, he is not too used to it - because of the "hissing" sound

kindly check my siggy for more info.

cheers.

There's a shop in Mid valley, near Noodle Station. 1 floor below the cinema. Maybe you could check that place out

Thank you guys for your kind suggestions... I will check it out...

Hi Deathbringer, I can't browse the widex.com.my at my office due to firewall.(will do later after work). But I'm browsing the international site... How much is the behind the ears one? If let say I'm interested, where should I bring my mom ... kindly PM me.

Thank you

i think i saw a shop near the brickfield's monorail selling all sorts of hearing aid...not sure about the price, but you can check it out

my grandpa also having this kind of problem, we are thinking to get him these to solve our problem 2, is these standard item which we just buy and let him use, or need professional suggestion b4 trying ?

i used to bring my grandpa to Voon Audio to repair his hearing aid.
it's located in pudu, basically across the pudu bus station.

my mum just got the widex too...RM4k x 2. Good clarity and minus the hissing sound. Can adjust like high range amplifier.

But it is $$$ pricey.

Hi,

Sorry for bumping old topic, but I am in the same predicament.

Planning to get a hearing aid for my dad (his hearing problem quite serious), but not sure what is the budget I should prepare for.

Also, what is the difference between the various brands? Like clarisound, widex, etc.

At the moment planning to go to the Brickfields shop (Hearing Solution) to check it out as it is near my office. I read in the papers there's supposedly some promotion there.

Anyone with any advice please comment here!

Thanks.

Pay a visit to Mid Valley / BP Pathlab / Hearing Solution.

First they will place the patient in a confine room wearing headphone. Then listen to sound and press a button. If the sound is too soft, and you don't press the button, the doctor will know then. After obtaining the result, it will tell you which side of ear is having and how bad is it.

Budget at least RM2k for a decent one. If budget limited, get 1 side...it's ok. My family are very happy when it help my mum can listen clearly again. We don't need to shout.

Thanks for the advice.

I went for the Hearing Solutions one, tried a 1k+ one, but as soon as my dad gets to the lobby the noise level is too loud for him to hear anything. So we opt for the 3.7k one, after 25% discount (Mother's Day promo) it's 2.8k. Still too expensive, so we are buying only one side.

Finally bought my 90 year old mum a hearing aid.

From 20dB... Price is RM5400 per side. Now, I just bought one side only.
Just come to know that hearing aid is not that simple but a very advanced piece of
equipment. The person need to be trained to use it.

so every month, I have to bring my mom to the clinic for minor adjustment.
This is necessary since after long time with hearing loss, her brain need to be
train to hear again... of course this consultation visits are included in the price

tumpang tanya,

the cheapo china made one, I believe can be bought at some pharmacies for rm200

but sound quality very bad...
