M Lyons
“I can only praise the way I was treated and thank you so much. I have never heard better since the fitting of my new hearing aids from Hear Always. I can now hear in group conversations even with a lot of noise around me and the volume of my television has been lowered to a comfortable level for others.
Mr Borland and his aftercare team were friendly and professional throughout. I was never rushed and it felt like nothing was too much for them to do for me. It is enjoyable to be helped by such professional and understanding people.”
E Will
“My husband and I have both purchased hearing aids from Hear Always and I have to say that we are delighted with the quality of them and the improvement to our hearing. The thing that has impressed us most about the company is the excellent after sales service. I had some initial teething problems with one of my hearing aids which were quickly sorted out with minor adjustments.
We are so full of admiration for the relentless dedication for patient satisfaction. Their after sales service we have found to be second to none. Whatever happens with our hearing aids in the future we are confident that we have the backing of the superb team at Hear Always.”
R Perrie
“So pleased to be back with Hear Always for my latest rechargeable all in the ear hearing aids. I require my ears to be cleaned of wax regularly – super quick service and I have recommended them to family and friends.”
L Harrower
“I have been a patient of Russell Borland’s for over 20 years now. First time I met Russell Borland, he came out at New Year as I suddenly lost my hearing and he made a hearing aid on the spot to tide me over until I got a new one. I can honestly say I would not dream of going elsewhere for my hearing needs. Absolutely fantastic service and would highly recommend.”
C McCahill
“Hear Always treat you like a family member. Whenever my mum needs help, they are there before I know it. Very reassuring for me to know my mum is in good hands.”
D Macpherson
“I contacted Hear Always with a view to getting my 92 year old father a hearing test at home. He was having issues hearing but always denied it. Within a few days the Audiologist attended to carry out the hearing test.
With treatment and cleaning for a couple of weeks the hearing test was carried out and the result was a 70% loss in his hearing. He was fitted for in-ear hearing aids moulded to his ears and the TV volume has gone down from 40 – 10.
As my dad put it “Received beyond excellent service.”
J Macpherson
“I have been impressed by the patient service and will certainly highly recommend Hear Always. I am very happy with the Omnia 7 hearing aids. Having worn hearing aids for more than 7 years I can only say that I am impressed. They are also very comfortable, and I often forget that I am actually wearing them.”
J Stoddart
“I can now hear birds singing, which I have missed for years, thank you.”
R McCabe
“I need to get the wax removed from my ears two or three times a year. Hear Always are a lifesaver making me hear again, and they are always helpful in organising an appointment around my busy work schedule. Thank you Hear Always from my family and work colleagues as you also make their lives better.”
Dr Philip Wood
“My first appointment with Mr Stan was back in August, we are now in October and I am the proud owner of a new pair of hearing aids. The product is excellent, and as a musician, life changing! However, it was the professionalism, care, patience and knowledge, which Mr Stan brought to my appointments, that helped me every step of the way. From a hugely thorough first consultation to after care and maintenance of the product; Mr Stan was there to offer good advice. I am highly satisfied and delighted with both the care received and the product. Thank you for this service!”
