Special consideration is given to this step with the aim to minimize the social stigma and allow the people with hearing loss to be psychologically prepared to accept a new hearing aid. Amplifon Middle East uses specialized counseling software and offers customers the information they need to feel prepared. For instance, our professionals will explain the hearing mechanism and its importance, help the customer understand the hearing problem, and display the technology and types of hearing instruments available as well as their price ranges. This may be considered as a guided tour on what the patient will experience in his real life.
