They even helped with my tinnitus

Helen Nourish realised she was suffering with the same hearing problems her mum had gone through after struggling to hear the tv.

It got so bad that she had to have the volume turned right up and she was forever asking people to repeat themselves. Not only that, but she struggled to hear birdsong.

“My husband John would laugh and say ‘you're getting just like your mum!’,” she says.

As well as hearing loss, Helen was also experiencing a ringing in her ears - a symptom of tinnitus. She was referred to a hearing loss clinic where she was given hearing aids. Yet she was disappointed to find they didn’t do enough to solve the problems.
