This is one of the questions we’re asked surprisingly often.

The answer is… sometimes.

Many modern hearing aids can be reprogrammed for another person’s hearing, but this depends on several factors, including:
• Whether the hearing aids are appropriate for your hearing loss
• Whether the devices are still supported by the manufacturer
• Whether we have access to the necessary programming software
• The overall condition of the hearing aids

If they’re suitable, we can programme them to your hearing and ensure they’re working as they should.

If you have hearing aids sitting unused at home, we’d be happy to assess whether they’re a suitable option for you.

Does the thought of a hearing test make you nervous?

You’re not alone.

Many patients tell us they’re anxious before their first appointment. Some worry we’ll find something serious, others are concerned the testing might be uncomfortable or difficult.

The good news? Hearing tests are non-invasive and shouldn’t be painful.

Here’s what you can expect:
• You may be asked to sit in a quiet testing booth while listening for soft sounds and pressing a button.
• If you’re claustrophobic, just let us know. We’re happy to leave the door slightly open or, where appropriate, complete the assessment outside the booth.
• There’s no pressure to rush. We guide you through every step and adjust the pace to suit you. If you need a moment to pause or even a glass of water, that’s absolutely okay.

A comprehensive hearing assessment often takes less than 30 minutes, and our goal is to make the experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible.

If we identify anything that needs further investigation, our ENT works right next door, allowing us to arrange specialised care quickly and without the long wait that often adds to people’s anxiety. * This applies to our Christiaan Barnard Hospital and Vincent Pallotti Hospital branches only.

When it comes to your hearing, earlier is always better. Whether your concerns turn out to be significant or not, you’ll leave with answers and a plan.

Can a small hearing aid still deliver big performance?

New research on the Oticon Zeal hearing aid suggests the answer is yes.

In independent testing, Oticon Zeal demonstrated:

✔ Better speech clarity in background noise
✔ Improved access to important speech cues
✔ Greater comfort around sudden loud sounds
✔ Rechargeable convenience in a discreet in-the-ear design

For many people, hearing better isn’t just about volume—it’s about understanding conversations with less effort and greater confidence.

If you’ve been considering hearing aids but are worried about visibility, comfort, or performance, modern technology may surprise you.

Many people stop wearing their hearing aids because something doesn’t feel quite right.

“They’re too loud.”
“They whistle.”
“They’re uncomfortable.”
“I don’t like the sound.”

The good news is that these are some of the most common concerns we hear in practice — and they can often be improved with simple adjustments.

Modern hearing aids are highly programmable and can be fine-tuned to better suit your hearing needs, listening environments, and comfort preferences. Sometimes a small change can make a surprisingly big difference.

If your hearing aids are sitting in a drawer, don’t give up on them just yet. Book a follow-up appointment and let your audiologist help you get the most from your devices.

Hearing loss affects more than just your ears — it can also impact how your brain stays active and engaged.

When hearing becomes difficult, the brain receives less stimulation. Over time, this can lead to increased listening fatigue, social withdrawal, memory difficulties, and a higher risk of cognitive decline.

The good news? Treating hearing loss and staying socially connected helps keep the brain stimulated and active. Modern hearing aids do far more than amplify sound — they help you stay engaged in conversations, relationships, hobbies, and everyday life.

At Hear Right, we’re here to help you hear better, communicate with confidence, and stay connected to the moments that matter most.

• Improved confidence in social settings
• Sharper focus and mental clarity
• Better enjoyment of TV, music, and everyday moments

Not every hearing concern starts — or ends — with a hearing aid. 👂

At Hear Right, our audiologists work closely alongside an ENT specialist, allowing for a more streamlined approach to hearing and ear health when medical assessment is needed.

From hearing difficulties and tinnitus to blocked ears, dizziness, sudden hearing changes, or ear pain — some concerns may require both audiological and medical evaluation.

One of the benefits of our collaborative setup is that referrals between our audiologists and ENT can happen quickly and efficiently when appropriate, helping patients get answers sooner.

Because hearing healthcare works best when everyone works together. 🤝
