hellodolly Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I was wondering if there is hearing aid clinics here in Chiang Mai and if any one has had experience with them. Recommendations appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying the one in Pantip plaza is no good. Not really looking for a specialist just a shop with the equipment to test hearing and supply suitable hearing aids. I believe that hearing aids are made to order and are not a stock item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying the one in Pantip plaza is no good. Not really looking for a specialist just a shop with the equipment to test hearing and supply suitable hearing aids. I believe that hearing aids are made to order and are not a stock item. Hearing aids require to be set at the correct levels and frequencies for each ear, as determined by testing. Should you opt for the moulded ear-piece/s, which in my mind are far superior to any other type, those moulds will have to be custom-made as well. So yes, whilst the aids are off-the-shelf, the setting and the moulds are specific for each of your ears. I would recommend that you look at the "over-the-ear" type of aid. It is very much easier to adjust for different conditions. Also less expensive. Pantip plaza has Siemens hearing aids - a good brand. I'm not sure what testing facilities they have. I am told that Ram Hospital also provides a good service but I cannot vouch for this. Good luck. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
